Two cannibals
having an urge to have oral sex
What went wrong with ANNA movement?
The AAP is a frustrated bunch , very justifiably frustrated
bunch, who started venting their anger through a movement which started off
sincerely addressing some issues affecting a major section of the population
[who or what it is I will come to later on]. What went wrong along the path was
impatience and impotent anger of this group that their genuine cries and
concerns were used by TV stations as a new show and totally ignored by the
ruling class and then gradually due to various reasons the media became
indifferent.
It was during these testing times for these bunches of
frustrated , educated, salaried, tax paying
middle class that some hidden vultures both within this group and
funded and fueled from outside started enveloping them in their[ vultures]
ideological cabins, an ideology which can be an equivalent of fossil genetics
in social systems, called Indian brand of Marxist Leninist Left.
This confused, silenced and sidelined the serious followers
of the movement and instead slowly became a small group with smaller outlook
which tried every wrong trick first from insulating from anything and
everything political and after realizing that the TV channels had their
commitments with IPL, Cine Stars, the pay masters from the Ruling class etc
felt that they were left lonely in putrefied ideology and petrified reactions
from public, it was then they ventured in a very puerile way into politics.
Where even great sharks are finding life difficult and naturally when you put
on the mask of politician you resort to the same gimmicks of other politicians,
sometimes vying hard and end up totally disconnected from the group/class of
followers who spent their valuable time, energy and their hard earned money to
support your movement thinking you can effect some change.
It is very unfortunate that these followers, good Samaritans
joined a new gang of ANNA and co impulsively without realizing that their woes
cannot be addressed through mute revolutions and TV shows and getting
emotionally charged up. They can be addressed only through proper governance
paying attention to the overall economic development of the nation.
I empathize with this group of followers, who have been very
often misled by the media, they are the triple EEEs, educated, employed and
exchequer feeding [tax paying] middle class who are always sand witched between
the very poor [ those who have an urge to satisfy their hunger] and the very
rich [ who have the urge to satisfy their greed ] and what most governments do
is to satisfy both these classes one for votes and the other for currency
notes.
Make no mistake that now a situation has been created
through uncontrolled and non governmental funding for parties [from the very
rich ] and the necessity of parties to go on announcing freebies to obtain
votes [from the very poor]and the scenario is like two cannibals [very rich and very poor]
having an urge to have oral sex and the triple EEEs[educated middle class] are caught
in between.
Now that AAP is also only talking about satisfying those two
cannibals just using different vocabulary. So, discern and decide for people with
proven track record on overall economic development, and when there is real overall economic
development then there is no need to use any oxymoron like inclusive growth.
