Kya Soti Praja Jaagegi?
Meaning: 'Will the Sleeping Citizen Awake?'
It is Very Interesting. So here goes.
Once a king had filled his courts with Robbers, Rapists and Musclemen, so his Citizens kept Quiet out of Fear.
Many tried to get the Citizens to Awake, become Conscientized, Aware of their Dignity and Rights, all to No avail.
The king raised the price of Oil. The Citizenry kept Quiet. he loaded most Unusual taxes on them, the result was the Same.
Then one day the king got an idea, he dug up a Perfectly Good Road, and built a Bridge on (over?) that, which was Not in the Least Required. But the People did not protest.
Then the king stationed a man there and started collecting taxes there, but Nobody Protested.
Then the king got bold, he told his men to...
...BEAT THOSE CROSSING THE BRIDGE WITH SLIPPERS AND SHOES.
...And he had placed there, a COMPLAINT BOX!
Nobody complained.
Then one day he was informed that there WAS a complaint in the box! he opened it. And found written:
"your highness, PLEASE INCREASE THE NUMBER OF MEN BEATING US, AS DUE TO OUR SHEER NUMBERS, WE ARE GETTING LATE TO WORK!"
Gk Khanna goes on, alluding to Anna Hazare and all, but You can look it up after a search for his name.
To Recognize him, am adding his profile picture.
