HOODLUMS TAKE OVER INDIA ?

While i was in Delhi for 5 days, I happened to attend a party in one of the elitist clubs of Delhi, where eminent people from different professions get together in the evenings for a social interaction, play cards or they enjoy their drinks in the pub. I came across 2 senior army officials ( retd. ), one high ranking air force guy ( retd. ) and 3 businessmen, one of them an eminent personality, in the same party. All of them were concerned about the latest events taking place in our country, specially bomb blasts and law & order situation in the country. One of them described all this as a pattern, the other attributed it to a foreign country, trying to de-stabilise India and others were putting in their bit. But all seemed very concerned.

I wonder why these discussions remain limited to AC halls and nothing happens on the ground ! I had all the intentions to ask them that instead of talking, which we all do, about the turmoil, why were they not doing something on the ground being powerful people, who had a standing in the society and resources to act upon ? But being a guest myself and unknown to most of them, i did not find it appropriate and prudent to embarrass them. But since I have their visiting cards with me, I will certainly email this page to them.While returning back to Amritsar in Shatabdi, i did some introspection and came to the conclusion that hoodlums have taken over our country.

On the economic front, as India expands into global terrains, a centrifugal force is gathering momentum. This force however, is being pulled back, through an equally strong centrifugal force that looks inward, is fragmented and savage in its execution. The most high-profile wart of this centrifugal force is the Nano's undignified exit from Singur. Ratan Tata had said that Mamta Banerjee had pulled " the trigger on his head ", forcing him to move out of West Bengal to Gujarat.. Ealier L.K. Chaudhery, CEO, of a foreign company was beaten to death by his own workers in Noida, some 20 minutes away from the national capital.

North Indians are being targeted in Mumbai by Raj Thackeray and his Sena as an investment into future elections to garner local votes. A young journalist dies a mysterious death in Delhi and its Chief Minister, Sheila Dixit says, women should not be " adventurous " and that companies, not the police, should take responsibility for their safety. Never has the need for law and order as the first and foremost electoral expectation of voters been so high, so acute. As this anarchy gets political support, we are gradually being pushed into a corner, where an unvoiced frustration with governance is systematically eating into our democratic and civilised innards. With weapons in the hands of a small clutch of ineligible political aspirants, the man on the street has never been in as much in physical danger as on today. Lawmakers are breaking the law as if it's their birth right. Those whom voters have entrusted with democratic power and white car privileges--- and with them the responsibilty to provide law and order----- are all but numbed into submission under this new force gathering strength, issue by issue, in state after state. And our freedoms (" Today terrorists are being worshipped ") said Justice J.N. Patel referring to Raj Thackeray who, in turn, instead of feeling the fear of the law is brazenly asking the court " to define a terrorist ".

The West Bengal Chief Minister Buddadeb virtually offered a free hand to Mamta Banerjee and her mob to stop workers seeking nothing more than an honest day's job from working. The Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Desmukh is standing still watching non- Maharastrians citizens of India being beaten and threatened, their businesses, taxis and trade being destroyed. Orissa Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has nothing more than to offer, just lofty words to Christians being mauled in the state.

We, the silent majority have allowed this small band of hoodlums to decide whether, we have the right to work, to religion, to celebration, to life, to love. A leveraged buyout is underway where a small bunch of private interest groups cobble together to create visible damage for maximum impact. We are being forced into believing that violence is the currency of political or social intercourse in a modern, trillion dollar economy. These mobs and their political masters need to be dragged under the purview of the law, before this belief system becomes a mass religion.

In the last elections, with a focus on economic growth, our attention moved from " roti, kapda aur makan " to " bijli, sadak-pani ". Its time now to go back to basics and devise a new slogan around " suraksha-kanoon-dand " and implement it ruthlessly. POLITICAL PROFITS ARE GUARANTEED.

Until thast happens, can anyone tell me whare i can buy a gun ? DO SOMETHING. KUCCH KARO !
