I avoid writing
about religion or politics as a rule but happenings in the recent past have
made me make an exception to that self imposed rule.
I firmly believe
that religion is an individual’s choice. It is in ones heart and there is no
need to show that one is very religious. God is one and it is we who have given
different names to pray in the way we want to. God is not deaf. A silent prayer
said from heart reaches God rather than all the noise we make in our unwanted
efforts to send our request to God. We project ourselves as followers of
whatever religion we believe in but indulge in acts which no religion would
ever preach. Unfortunately some leaders with eye of what they can gain misguide
the gullible youth in the name of religion. Can anyone enlighten me if there is
any religion which preaches violence against unarmed, old, women or children
going about their normal duties? Don’t we think that any person who does this
needs to be penalized? I know our police has earned notoriety by indulging in
corruption, favoritism and fake encounters to please bosses – political mainly.
Police reforms is another subject which needs to be paid attention by each and
everyone of us. Even keeping shortcoming of police in view, does it make us
correct in supporting one who has indulged in such ghastly activities against
humans? I know that it is difficult to come to terms that our near and dear one
may be wrong but we should think with open & logical mind for the sake of
humanity as whole.
Politics, we all
know is dirty as we have been hearing about this right from our childhood –
family politics, society politics, school politics, college politics, office
politics etc etc. I have very serious doubts if any political leader ever
thinks of what nation needs for progressing. In my opinion each & everyone
of them first think of themselves, then kith & kin followed by party and in
such cluttered mind there is no space for national interest. All they see is
CHAIR and how to garner votes to get that. Do they ever think rationally about
what they do, misuse of authority or power by promising what not, just to get
votes may damage the fabric of nation. Again who is to blame for this - WE the people who accept all this with
attitude HOW DOES IT MATTER TO ME?
Food for thought,
isn’t it?

We can change at an individual level,it looks like nobody can really change the system
When Anna's Lokpal movement happened in 2011, we were actively involved..my husband and me...later it all crumbled apart!
Now Kejriwal and his AAP is being harassed...honest officers are being murdered/falsely imprisoned/transferred
JYOTI :
Unfortunately those few persons who are clean can not do anything due to being outnumbered. We all need to join hands to bring about the change so badly needed. Let us start with using our right to vote judiciously and also speak against wrong doings. Take care
VINAYA :
You have very rightly said that we need to start this at our individual level. You must be aware that though all parties have major differences with others but when it comes to saving their own skin they all join hands, even to take on Supreme Court which is trying to clean the system. Take care
