Rendezvous with life
The blue mountains, kissing the heaven, mesmerizes me. The snow capped mountains looks great. I had been to such a place and that is Kedarnath. I think its heaven on earth. Such places are indeed rare. This is the place where one forgets all the miseries and troubles of this world. The poverty, starving populace, people being tormented by the rich and the powerful; and wars where the innocent people are the sole victims. But can we forget all this entirely. Can we turn a blind eye to the happenings of this world? There are lot of miseries in this world but have we ever given a though to it?
In the Iraq war, tens of millions of innocent people have been snatched of their life and the livelihood. Though the war was undertaken to free the people of Iraq from tyranny but it resulted in giving more trouble to the ingenuous masses. Why only in Iraq, people in my own country, India too are dying. Dying the death of hunger. Malnutrition is the cause of death of thousands of children in many of the states. And the state governments don't pay any heed to it. These people are born nameless and die nameless. These downtrodden cannot even think of justice. They are born to get subjugated by the upper class society. There is no one to voice them. The political parties seem to take advantage of their helplessness and cash in on to benefit their political carrier. They make promises during the electioneering, for never to be fulfilled. On winning the election, these vampire do nothing but enjoy their new found freedom. Even they don't want to do any significant. It is better for them to leave the stalemate untouched. If the people get literate, lead a good life and fulfill the basic necessities of life then it would be pretty difficult for rouge politicians to fool them. Though harsh but it is the raw truth.
Its true that some godlike people think of them and work to alleviate their agony but still their dreams remain unfulfilled. Unless and until there is awakening in the bureaucratic and political circles we cannot think of India as a place where no one goes to bed without food, where the people are happy and live a prosperous life. And without strict law and order we cannot achieve this.
We want another Gandhi, Bose, Bhagat or Nehru to come and liven the dreams of the true India, the downtrodden, because it is the God, who resides in the heart of the poor.
