Fear is here, where lies the hope:-

The Iron Man and The silent Polymath:-

Thoughts are like flickering lights emanating uncontrollably and hitting heads in a cauldron. Writing is the only catharsis of a disturbed mind.

Of lately I am coming across many writings about political dissection, quiet provocative and articulated writings elaborating essentials of India, foreboding changes. I can feel the palpable undercurrent, yearning for a change. I can feel from inside the despair, hatred, frustration which is no more suppressed in the subconscious. Change is the only constant factor in this universe. Even the light we meet everyday, every second is not the same light of yesterday it is a new atomic combustion. So nothing can be same and new things are essential and necessary. What is most relevant in today`s world might be the most obsolete thing of tomorrow. That`s the reason religion can never rule a society. Every religion evolves in a specific socio-economic condition as a salve to emotional insecurities and majorly to infuse bonding within a group through norms and regulations applicable for that period of time. If we try to superimpose those hundreds of years old norms into today`s world it is a sheer foolhardiness.

What leads us to this hope for change?

Retrospection gives us few things enough to create abhorrence, despair, insecurity then anger.

The emaciating economic run in contrast of China, nepotistic political tradition, corruption from the level of education, judicial system, health & care to all other social aspects. Two countries inflicted with same kind of vices, huge population, misogynist culture so deep routed it reaches even life before birth. One adopts steel-strict attitude towards the problems other accepts politics as the simple ``game of throne``.

When a geriatric person exclaims ``Japan!! What was Japan 50-60 years back?? Japanese products were considered as Chinese products of today!! `` It hits the cord in a complete way around.  ``Grandpa...Do you mean China will be Japan when we will be old....??? ``This thought evokes anger.

The anger tags along other angers:-

a)      Anger for existing the poverty

b)      Anger for the illiteracy

c)       Anger for the unemployment

d)      Anger for the ineffective law and order situation

e)      Anger of the insecurity.

So there is a desperate hope for a change, but here where lies the hope, there lies the fear.

A major part of Hindu population has a strong feeling of inequality and injustice transpiring from feelings of insecurity. Speaking to many people surprises me that they think there is a fair chance that ``the so called minority community`` will overpower India one day and we will loose our heritage, culture, religion and be murdered, raped or converted to other religion. Basis of this fear is the uncontrolled growth of that specific population and their bigotry ``Jihadist`` mentality. It is deeply believed that they will finish off all Hindu, Christian and Buddhist population, so ``The Iron Man Government`` is the only hope for justice and security. He is the only one for our salvation.

It`s embarrassing to say but I don`t see much difference.

at least for women....

Now where goes the concentration on our main enemies ?? The fight against the actual social menaces? What are our essentials??

1)      Economic growth (GDP, GNP, Per capita income, forex balance etc.)??

2)      Population control?

3)      Illiteracy?

4)      Unemployment?

5)      Fallen apart law and order situation?

6)      Fight against corruption?

7)      Controversies over our political precincts?

Or

                         Just a victory on basis of religion??

Fear connotes inertia when FM channel plays a banal tone of song declaring ``How the changed Government will curb the inflation`` without indicating how much time it takes to increase production, without explaining what fiscal deficit it will lead if done without growth in production. Hope floats fear lurks...

Whom we are trying to fool...??
