Enough is Enough..

Yesterday, the 30th of Jan.. one of the important days in the Indian history.. some say it was because Gandhi died good number of years back on the same date. But it doesn't concern me much.. This week is witnessing huge changes in the world political order and a dramatic surge in people's aspirations.. Some of the countries, especially the middle east, are in turmoil, reason being the revolt of people against their tyrannical governments as everyone thinks.. In India too, yesterday, common people came out in numbers against corruption in around 20 cities demanding the anti corruption measures to be taken. Not so surprisingly enough, all the front line media news channel(i checked online version only) websites like the TimesofIndia, CNN-IBN, NDTV, DNAIndia didn't even cared to create a link. One of them has left it to the citizen journalists to cover this issue. They thought that other news is more valuable and this one not even worth mentioning in their websites. While many of the news items made it to the front page, these didn't even get a proper article despite me searching for the news all day in all the above mentioned newspapers.. This movement has passed away and it will become one of the milestones in the Indian history that has shaped up the future of India for the next generations to read. The fourth pillar a.k.a media is crumbled and became foul to it's core.. 

Yet I am happy that people came out in considerable numbers and took to the streets and voiced their agitations. After an economic downturn is over, it can be quite expected that in a range of 3-5 years major revolutions and reorganizations in terms of political and social landscapes will occur.. These can be verified in almost all the cases including World Wars.. Keeping up with the tradition, the aftermaths of the economic downturn is generating number of crises around the world and the governments tend to become more authoritative. In case of most countries this is the case. But in terms of India, it is a bit varied though the end result would be the same. In India, people are demanding for enactment of more stringent laws with all the good intentions. They are asking for the govt to be authoritarian since it isn't even showing spine that too in an economic uptrend for India. Though i would like not to.. but i couldn't help thanking the congress govt. for making this happen. Congress govt's wretched moral bankruptcy and the scaling of new heights of corruption has frustrated the common man so thoroughly, that they are finally coming out of their bunkers and protesting. Once again i thank the congress govt for forcing the people to their unbearable limits who otherwise would be sleeping in their beds letting the rats loot the nation one piece at a time. I am happy again that some of the citizens came out and protested and it's high time everyone come out and say "Enough is Enough"..
