Holy places of pilgrimage strikingly posing like the remains
of a deadly battle, Corpses afloat in the sacred river waters, Stranded people everywhere, Rice and Roti being sold at completely
in-human prices. The Helpless government
coping up with the job of helping the helpless people, The ever un-lit heroes
raising-up to the brave task once again, Those innocent people having a strong
delusion of the existence of the almighty, The justifiable questions having no
proper answers. All these are a cumulative collections of the much happening part
of today‘s India. The Tsunami’s had done this earlier, The Gujarat quakes much before
that. This act of god never demands an explanation nor can it be given a
fitting one.
Now, Indian politics never fails to put up a great show. And
here it is in full swing:
Mr. Modi is busy carrying out the Rambo act saving only the Gujarati’s,
which is because the congress ruling Uttrakandh’s CM refuses to accept the rescue helicopters
sent by the BJP-ian. And let me make it clear, I am not here supporting BJP or
Modi here. I am pretty much sure that they too (BJP’S) would have done the same
thing, if say, the floods had occurred in Gujarat. They never have in mind they
are Ind-ian’s at the first place. They are politicians, they should never have
those feelings.
The silenced headman does what he does best; maintaining the
prolonged silence. I hope you would have guessed by now the person I am talking about. The act of condemning an incident is what they all do so damn perfectly,
and rightly so is the case here too.
Ooh ! Common yaar, this is Indian politics. What
else do you expect?
These men deserve
much more than a salute. I don’t know what, but they do deserve something better.
The brave acts they pull off to save people they never have met before is nothing
but pure love for humanity. Their efforts have always been right up there and
they deserve total respect for that alone.The exceptional people in our country are never
given the right place they deserve. Be it the farmers who sow and reap under
the hot sun, or the jawaans who live out the icy nights camping in virgin lands
to protect the million fellow countrymen. They are never given the right place.
The media glare is slowly fading out of this entire issue
and they are busy focusing on the humiliating defeat of Rafael Nadal, Roger Federrer
and Maria Sharapova, The downfall of the Indian rupee, The bizarre decision of DMK garnering the support
of the congress for the upcoming Rajya Sabha polls and many more.
Slowly people will start
to forget the Uttrakandh floods which is very natural. No matter what, life
just has to move on. Before just forgetting and moving forward, one has to
imagine for a few minutes the life of all those homeless and landless people. Even there, life just has to move on. But it
is easier said than done. This is where the real help must be given. There are several
out there lending out financial help and NGO’s doing the manly service. If
not all those, let us at least pray and wish for them a prosperous life and try
being human!
