'Politicizing' Calamities

Even the media seems to have picked up points from the AAP. Now they are having 'live' Interviews/Debates/Discussions on the AAP style.

+Headlines Today was having one just now. It was on the tragic Double Gang Rape and Murder of the 16 year old in Kolkata, and the subsequent political drama.

The thing that caught my attention were the words: 'politicizing' the incident.

That is True Indeed. For some, like the Parents, Family and the Near and Dear ones of the Deceased Girl, it is Fire in the Belly.

What has Not been talked about enough is the Fear in which the People have to live, where rowdies come and Threaten, Carry off one and Gang Rape, where police takes No action, and rowdies come and repeat their deeds a second time, well, the whole rigmarole. Society is Traumatized.

And politicos want to make mileage of all this. If there are enough People behind the Protest, the Opposition jumps in, organizing things. The ruling party cries 'conspiracy.' Both are trying to sway the masses to vote for 'them.' More votes mean coming to power, and able to take commissions for each and every contract.

We, the People, shall have to Rise and Tell the politicos to Change, to Deliver Every Basic Necessity, Justice, Dignity and Safety, and that, if they do not, they will be thrown out.

rowdies - and politics!

"You make the rogue at home into a rowdy on the Street,
 The rogue of the Street becomes the rowdy of the Constituency,
 And then he becomes an mla (member legislative assembly!), or an mp (member of parliament!),
 A ruling minister of the Administration (down with the word government)."

The above is a rough translation of what is being repeated on the 'ADITYA,' the Tamil Comedy Channel.

What the Channel is presenting is supposed to be comedy. (I supposed the presenters have not really Reflected on the Seriousness of things there).

Literature, in ALL its forms, Reflects the Mind of the People. ...Many Movies, both Indian and Western, show how the elected act as as criminals.

But the above few lines show how 'rowdies and criminals get elected.'

And that the People are Well Aware of this.
