the call for justice!

After decades of tolerance of the un-just, unruly and oppressive dictatorship regime, the middle-east has finally risen to get back its right to justice. The inextinguishable flames of the fire set by a young fruit vendor in Tunisia has already eaten up many ruthless dictators of the Middle East and at the same time have ignited the minds of the common man to fight for a common cause. The struggle has definitely not been an easy one. Many voices were raised, so that many other could never be suppressed. Many lives were lost, so that many more could live peacefully. Many protests were made, so that there never would be a need for another one. And many countries have already attained their mission, which once looked impossible.

While too much is being read into the implications of this uprising on a global level, it will all be forgotten in a few years time while we become busy with our own unending struggles. But what our leaders might want to understand is that it is not the dictatorship which was the trouble maker in countries like Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. It was in fact, the unjust dictatorship. There are still countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar and UAE which are not affected in spite of their dictatorial regimes. The development projects undertaken by King Abdullah’s government for the benefit of their people did not give the people in Saudi Arabia any reason to stand on a square and shout on top of their voices. Today’s fight against unjust dictatorship might inspire a similar one against an unjust democracy! The latest revelations about the cash-for-votes unfolding in our country might just be the beginning.

 

With a party promoting Saffron terrorism, a party promoting Maoist ideologies, a party driven by self proclaimed immortality and a party drowned in corruption allegations, our situation looks hardly sustainable. There are two reasons why it is still under control, one is that as of today the people in our country are self sufficient and another is the non-uniform cause of discomfort. But this will not long last. A day will come when survival will be at stake, then caste and creed will cease to exist. It will be then, that humanity will over power all other forms of discrimination and fight against one government. Being an Indian, I hope that day never comes. I hope that if ever humanity does take such a massive form then our political system and leaders form an inseparable part of it. It is only this hope that keeps me going.
