It’s been months now that in some or the other way an
anti-nationalist or nationalist specific agenda has overpowered the prime time
news bits and grabbed the headlines of various newspapers, journals and
periodicals. Jibes by one party worker and counters by others, stalling the
Parliament’s functioning, rethinking about our Constitutions’ fundamentals and
its validity today and religious/caste/creed based issues are most widely
discussed in forums, conclaves and confederations. Does our populations’
majority ruled middle class is actually concerned about these debates and their
validity? Do these issues have any fundamental effect on their lives? Mere
topics which are much talked about during their free time tea rounds with
friends and families. That's it!!
We are actually
indifferent about such issues, believe it or not. Then what actually is
important, what matters to us and what these political establishments should
discuss to become relevant. Simple and the answer is known to all but it’s the lack of intent
which is the major problem. Survival of a 5 year term with more of discussions
on these sensitive cum invalid discussions and no elementary work on ground is
the way a government finishes its term. And if a regulator shows any intent
then opposition halts every ounce of efforts displayed by the legislature.
We are only concerned about development, upliftment of
infrstructure agenda, bringing people above poverty line and making mass employment
opportunities. Do we hear about such agendas on a daily basis? We would have a
broad grin and laugh off. Whether you are tolerant enough or intolerant to
issues, basic survival necessities is what a person needs and direly awaits
for. Till the basic survival amenities are not fulfilled, these anti-national
or national agendas are just discussion points. They stand no relevance for
major section of our society. That is the reality and it’s relevant. Hope the
political parties take a note and just not work for another term but a decade
of relevance for masses.
