India & Its (dirty) Politics

Politics can't be good, atleast not in India.

I am feeling really very ashamed of Indian citizens who have played the fire lighters in Jammu & kashmir, then Kandhamal and now in Karnataka too.

Definitely, it was Bajrang dal responsible attacks initially but now its the bloody politicians. I strongly support a strong punishment to Bajrang Dal activists for the same but at the same time this is also true that they have got the full support from BJP. I don't know if you have heard/read our CM's or Home Minister's comment/speaks, they have justified the attacks and said that forcible conversions were the reason for the attack, but who are the people to take the law in their hands, they have no right, and in my terms they are even making a bigger crime. I was very happy to know that center has strongly and strictly ordered the state government to control violence and establish peace. Now when Bajrang Dal folks have made their hands down, now its the time to do the politics or I would say "dirty politics" to be politically correct.

That is the situation right now. Now the recent attacks and any attacks going to happen will not be from Bajrang Dal or any BJP backed groups, but the actually culprits are the Congress and the JD(S) politicians. Precisely speaking, its former PM Devegowda and his much famous dirtiest politics through which he wants to destablize the BJP government and make them responsible for the attacks.

To say it in Hindi, he is like "Dono Paon kabar main hai, lekin yeh rakshas phir bhi paap kiye ja raha hai" [Both legs are in grave, but he is a devil who is still doing sins].

I also strongly condemn the forcible conversions, and of the opinion that if any of the christian communities are involved in conversions, especially forceful conversions, they should immediately stop it for the sake of Jesus. And at the same time our Right-wing Hindu Groups shouldn't feel any problem in voluntary conversions. Instead of blaming christian communities, they should peep into their own so-called Hindu Community. Can they understand the situation of the widow in a far-distant villlage ? Can they understand the situation of folks from so-called backwards castes in many of the villages? Can they understand the feeling of the millions of people who are still not allowed to enter in the temples at many places even after 60 years of Independence, and they call "Mera Bharat Mahan", I feel very sad. Can they understand the emotions of the woman who just delivered a baby girl and her in-laws are preparing to abandon that new-born? So if people see an opportunity of a good livelihood, why won't they embrace another religion. We all know that God is only one but the hard fact is that we don't accept it.

Don't people from the villages come to towns, cities, metros in search of job and good livelihoods? don't many Indians go abroad for better education, job opportunities, and better lifestyle? Don't people switch their jobs for better salaries, better work and many more? So, why religion is considered so different? If it is voluntary, I see no wrong in conversion also. Our constitution permits this, but it should not be a bribed one. And in my opinion, if you belong to India, your religion should be "Indian' and "Indian constitution" should be your holy religious books. That's all.

At last, one very important thing, I would like to add here is that, "Reservation" and "Discrimination on the basis of caste" are tightly coupled. If you really want reservation to end, all the quotas to end, you have to stop discrimination people on the basis of their caste, religion, region or anything like that. Till you won't stop, you will have many Mayawatis, Mulayams, Thakreys etc to use it for their political benefits.

That' why I say, "Jab jaago tab savera". Please wake up as soon as possible and save India, save your surroundings. The "who cares" attitude can't work, if you want your coming generations to live in a better environment, live a better life and get good of everything.

"Together, we can, we will make a difference."
