I am trying hard to recall the civics lessons from my school days, so correct me if I am wrong- isn’t it said that ours is a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic (all spelled in bold).
Millions of rupees are spent on campaigning by our “netas” who dole out eloquent promises, sweeter than my favorite rossogolla, and then, conveniently relapse into amnesia. Their deafening cry “ Hum Saab Ek Hai……..blah…blah…”reverberates through the 1000 watt speakers, strategically placed, flouting all the laws of Pollution, startling the new born babies from their reveries,disturbing the concentration of the students and rattling the nerves of the aged.
And then, from their air conditioned, cushy office, they devise strategy to create more fissure among the masses by deliberately segregating humanity into schedule caste and schedule tribe, upper caste, lower caste, etc, etc... (Did I miss out any… oh yeah…OBC!)
God Almighty… that’s what they think they are. (Or am I the cynical one)
