As a society we are quick to judge and implicate a symptom as an embeeded problem. The conflict is not about SRK Vs
Sena fiasco but mainly abuse of freedom, power, peace and People at large for personal profit. This runs deep, infact in our veins as a society n culture at large.
Firstly any Individual or Group which disturbs the social,economic,political and religious fabric of a country is a threat and desires swift, and intentful response. The reason for such laid-back attitude of the Govt is for its own political and strategical reasons which dont argue well for the society at large in the longer run. It emphatically vidicates that we do have Politicians who are politically brilliant but impoverished leaders without Pride for Nation, Passion for Purpose and Substance to deliver.
Playing with the emotions of people is a century old trick and potent for massive destruction which history has proved time and again, its not that we are not aware, but we dont want to see the bigger picture on which lies the future of our Country.
No politician, leader or Citizen wants to clean the mess or initiate lead. Its like, it's our Country but your problem.
I ask, How can we as a society at large be genuine and progress collectively?
Now Mere 3% rich or 15% middle class don't indicate progress but deliberate ignorance. We all have learnt to be politically correct. All Smart to shell ourselves with moral code which we speak highly of and judge others with, but are there deeds we do to vouch for? Yes sure there are problems but whose are they? Yes the Govt has to be responsible, but its whose Govt? Power n people will always be exploited if and only if we let it be this way. We need to show compassion for others, like the mahatma said, "Look upon others as you would want others to look upon you".
No matter how small or big we are we all need to put our act together in appropriate yet timely manner against any individual or Group like Shiv Sena which wants to disturb social equilibrium for its personel gains. The First step is to ignore them totally as a society. Secondly, why does the media need to publicize so much the wrong? There by giving them a platform to spread their message. I guess we all want to be genuinely good but also strike a balance for comercial viability. After all media is also a business, and there are no free lunches and end of the day media personals are also doing a job for which they get paid for and rightfully agreed but some where balance has to be struck, as there are more important things we face which we need to tackle and should fight for and to be covered in Media.
More we give publicity to these issues more we act as a catalyst for anger, confusion and seperation among the common man. The longer the anti-national sentiments remain in air larger its effect grows on us. In today's networked world Sentiments, religious and social factors have an exponential impact, creating some kind
of a neural network which is infectious for good but also as a carrier to spread viruses like Shiv Sena across the Human Fabric and creating a Pandemic at large espicially among the economic weaker section of the society. We need to be Citizens with a purpose, Politicians with intent and Substance and Leaders with Vision. Stand up before it's late and in one voice take action. Do what little you can to make a difference and to correct the wrong.
Lastly, Govt should not sit and observe as a mere spectator but instead take action quickly to set an example. Its the very
beauty of this country which gives we the freedom and power to express freely my opinion. Cherish but value this freedom and harmony for our future depends on it.
Legally also we need to strengthen and create Provisions in Law and the Constitution as a whole for Punishments to not only individuals but Parties and Groups also who promote vandalism n disturb
communal peace n Social Fabric. We need to learn and learn quickly from our Mistakes --Nikhil
