A very heavy topic but I thought I should contribute in my own way …
Raj Thackeray - a man unknown to the world, known to a very small section in Maharashtra and even smaller section across India. He wakes up as always in his home in Mumbai and decides to read the newspaper along with his morning tea. He starts with the first page and proceeds to read the entire newspaper until he reads the last piece of news in it. He does this for a few days and he is shocked, for the unthinkable had happened. He was devastated. He never thought this would happen to him. He never imagined that there would be such days in his life where his name would not appear in any of the leading newspapers. So he picks up the headline that appeared on his day of realization and decides to build a story so that he would have something in the news for him to read about himself. Such is the obsession a person can have towards fame.
Unfortunately, for Amitabh Bachchan, the newspaper mentioned his decision to build a school in UP on the front page that day. To make news one can stoop to a level that would put the country at stake. The kind of remarks that were heard from Raj Thackeray would never come from a person who dearly cares about the peace and prosperity of his nation. Quoting strong regional statements is a sure cause of unrest in the country, being well aware of this fact, such statements were published.
This is like a well thought plan. Let me guide you as to what must have gone through his head. ‘I split from my uncle .. I formed a new party … nobody really knows whats happening with me or my party, I am not in news any more. How do I showcase myself … make strong regional or religion based comments and I would be in the lime light.’ As easy as it can get.
We Indians, the hard working section of the society, are not the ones to be blamed. The ads we see on TV .. ‘tum chalo toh Hindustan chale’ .. very nice to see and hear. Lets get to reality and lets state some facts.
Who or what is the root cause of political violence … politicians and their goons. How many people from my house or your house are involved in these political riots … NONE. These are paid goons who care for no one but themselves and label themselves as common people. I wish there was a vacuum cleaner invented that would suck this kind of dirt from our country. There will be dirty politicians, they will have paid goons and these fights will continue forever.
This is my unperturbed opinion on the political crisis in India.
