Any Publicity Is Good Publicity?

                                                                                                

        

                                                        

        
                 Few weeks back when i was visiting pages as my customary task on Facebook i encountered this page called "Beautiful thoughts".I read some wall posts and was thoroughly fascinated by them.Beautiful insights on life,emotions,relationships.Impressed by the insights,in a jiffy i clicked on the like button.I really found the page beautiful,but regrettably i flunk to hold on to my liking for long.The page owner shared a wall post accrediting Indian army for something which never belonged to it.

                Ostensibly,the cavalry person in the picture are not Indian soldiers but People's liberation army(PLA,China).Some Chinese folk saw the wall post and shared it on a Chinese forum,this paved the way for all the unhealthy debates and bickering.I was startled to see the animosity between the nationals of India and China .More startling was the ignorance on part of Indians commenting over there.They were hollering about Indian army heedlessly and by the dint of which the Chinese folks got hefty opportunities to hurl aspersion.I tired my best to stop the madness,but flunk to do so.I got frustrated with the heedless attitude of my compatriots,they didn't even bother to investigate.I think the country never demands this kind of reckless nationalism,for it just fosters irreverence for the nation.

              All the more stymie was ,why was the page owner not apologizing?Was the administrator oblivious about the ongoing madness?Can't be so.Isn't it the responsibility of the page owner to post something after thorough analysis,and especially when something concerns the dignity of the nation.I posted on the page owner's wall,but was startled when my post was deleted in less than a minutes times.Now it was pretty sure that the page administrator was deliberately fostering this grotesque debate to fetch some attention,and succeeded also.The incorrigible page owner hardly bothered to stop this unhealthy bickering and even denied other's the right to do so.I was baffled,is publicity so important than one could barter nation's pride also?
 Simultaneously,i realized how reckless some Indian's are, philistinism and foolhardiness engulfs some of our compatriots terribly.They flunk to demystify the obvious at times.

Dissidents Of Democracy

                                                  

       

             
           India is the world's largest democratic country, of course ,it's like i am stating the obvious .But let me ask you are Indians democratic? Regrettably ,the answer is no.Perhaps, Indians are the most undemocratic people living in the world's largest democracy.We as annotators of democracy ,just behold democracy as a form of government in which people regardless of their status have an equal  say in the decisions that affect their lives.Anticipating the present dissatisfaction of nationals with the government,it would not be fallacious to tag the government as undemocratic in it's approach.Unhesitatingly,we hurl criticisms at the politician's ,accusing them of graft and undemocratic approach,but what we fail to comprehend is that to cleanse the system first we need to depurgate the nucleus.


                       Sudhir kakar in his book "The Indian's :Portrait Of a People" writes 
      "In the hierarchical nature of Indian society ,if the perception of another person has to first to do with age ('Is the individual male/female),followed by age (Is he/she young or old),and by other such markers of identity,then in India the determination of relative rank ('Is this person superior or inferior to me?)remains very near to the subconscious questions evoked in an interpersonal counter."
                                         So,undemocratic beliefs stems from the hierarchical pattern of our society.The principle of equality and freedom are denied at core level.If we deprecate the politicians and the government , we should belittle our core undemocratic beliefs also.
          ~Why it is so that a women's opinion is disregarded ,mostly remains unasked?
          ~Why we are skeptical to consider or rather plainly disregard what is suggested to us by someone younger to us or our subordinates?
                        What we practice on micro level,the government exercise at national level.Consider answering these questions !
