To Balwinder Rana-Armed revolt??

[Guest guest]

Dear Balwinder

 

I am sorry that I cud not write earlier-because I was extremely busy with

exams and was unable to link my thoughts coherently about this discussion but

here I am.

 

It was nice to read ur mail about naxalites and naxalism; I was really pleased

to know that there is a young doctor who has interest in political science.

Yeah! as a class 6?7 student back in 1967?68 I had collected one cutting of

naxalbari station and also of Charu Majumdaar from the famous magazine

'Dharm-yug' (TOI Publications). (Now discontinued)

 

I agree very strongly with u that a change is needed. But ends dont justify the

means! We have to look at our country in a wider perspective. We are a

continent-so many states, so many languages, so many differences in the culture

in the hinduism itself. AND ABOVE ALL we are surrounded by hostile countries. If

an armed revolt takes place - which no doubt can happen - there wud certainly

be anarchy for some time; AND the history will repeat itself; we will be invaded

by our western neighbour OR  by the mongol breed and once again----(I dont want

to even say it!!). As it is History is already repeating itself (Mahmood

attacked india 16 times and was defeated, 17th time-Year 1012- he won and

blinded and arrested Prithvi Raj, the great last hindu king of

Delhi-Chauhan-Tomar Dynasty). Can u NOT appreciate that all these terrorist

attacks are like those 16 attacks on the soul of India?

 

Which brings us back to the terrorist attacks. See there is an inherert

difference in the terrorist attacks and the NAXAL  strikes. Naxals are US and

the terrorists are THEY!!

Naxals want to change the political system; terrorists want to annihilate us. I

agree that the political system is corrupt to the core BUT  democracy is an

IDEA. How well we implement this idea is upon us. May I ask u - Did u go and

cast ur vote in the last assembly or lok sabha election? Almost NONE of my

doctor colleagues had gone-because of frustration;the situation is really

desperate. BUT please dont suggest an armed revolt(if u consider the above cited

reasons). I believe that u have some nagging doubt about ur own statements-that

is why u have said, ''Please do not conclude that I am condoning Naxalite

violence " . If u had trust in ur convictions, NOT only u wud have condoned it,u

wud have justified it and wud have probably joined them.

 

Presently at least, democracy is the BEST system of governance known to mankind;

maybe we Indians are implementing it in a shabby manner- thats why people like

Madhu Koda can accumulate a wealth of 4000 crores in just 4-5 years; OR the

swiss banks report that Indian money amounts to 70 lakh crores(???how many

zeroes???)and the congress govt does NOT want to even request them to reveal the

names, and many of these politicians wud die without ever using that money, and

that money(our money) wud become the property of the swiss banks. AND  on the

other hand thousands are dying for want of food.

 

The need is NOT  to find an alternative form of governance; BUT  to implement

the democracy in a better manner, so that this great country can remain UNITED,

people like Raj Thackeray (and similar ones elsewhere) are routed out and

honest and sincere workers can attend to the illnesses of this rich country

inhabited by poor people.

 

Probably, the Election commission shud be given more sweeping powers; OR maybe

we shud improve our judicial system first, so that the guilty dont go

unpunished,OR may be ACCOUNTABILITY  shud be implemented so that public

servants become answerable to the supreme court (and thereby public). We

(responsible citizens) shud put our heads together-maybe at NGO forums-and find

out ways and means to implement democracy in a better manner -without an armed

revolt. India is NOT as small as France; is more diverse than entire western

Europe and has many incongruent interests.

 

Winston Churchill had once said, " If we leave them to govern themselves the

power will very soon go into the hands of the scoundrels and there wud be

anarchy " . Lets prove that he was wrong.

PS : Also, u haven't suggested WHAT CAN THE COMMON MAN DO AGAINST THE TERRORIST

ATTACKS. (If he starts changing the governance- he wud be aiding the

terrorists).
