We Don't Care

Fikr karo e Hindustan valo, Musibat aane wali hai

Tumhari barbadio ke mashvare hai aasmano mein

Na sambhloge to mit jaoge, tumhari daastan tak bhi na hogi daastano mein.

These lines of Kavi Iqbal are apt for the present condition of our country. It seems to be that the entire nation is on local anaesthisia. Even animals are sensitive and concerned if any harm is being done to them or their family but people in country are untouched and unmoved by the bureaucrats and political termites eating up everything making the entire country socially, economically, ethically and morally hollow and we don’t care. I think we have forgot that country is not an entity in isolation it is the collectivism of people like you and me, so ultimately we are being eaten up but we don’t care. A 71 year old activist was fasting for the sake of us to fight corruption but we don’t care. Praying for Anna Hazare or sending mails and SMSs in his support is something which I will call an active cowardice. For someone else’s wrong doing I should keep fast to make them realize that what they are doing is not correct, this brings out the real pathetic and helpless situation of democracy in our country. This is by no means a democracy, this is extortion, this is organized crime by the self proclaimed public servants but we don’t carew. Another pitiable situation is that we care about cricket so much that the amount worth crores in the form of money and property is given away by the government forgetting the fact that its not their money its our money. It’s like somebody else is spending our money wherever they wish and we don’t care. How many of us remember when our hockey team had played world cup finals. In a democratic country where we talk of equality how these actions are justifiable. Declaring a public holiday on the day of cricket match costing a loss of lakhs of man hours and crores of rupees but we don’t care. The ministers who are for the people, of the people and by the people comes and says publicaly that the price of sugar will not decrease and people will not die if they will not eat sugar, it’s a shame on us that we have such ministers ruling us but we don’t care. Finally a day will come when our coming generations will question us that why did you spoiled our future why you were on anesthesia, then we will have only one answer that we did’nt care.
