Calling it Democracy?
While this is quotidian to cry for our perpetual state of agony, we also assert to be the highest democracy in the world. Democracy? All the citizens of the country with no relevance to their age, caste, class and gender are equal under the law? Perhaps the actual definition of website has altered itself to - ‘A public propaganda to contest elections and fight to be on the board of a business with no losses, POLITICS.’
While in 1947 we were freed from the British rule, we still are ruled by the norms of Divide and Rule. Though, it’s not wrong to call our country a democratic country, after all we elect our rulers and choose the government which is what democracy is all about, but mockery in our system is to such extend that they broadcast propaganda to be a part of this money making factory. They can go to any extent to win a seat without even contemplating the true meaning of Democracy. What a stain on this beautiful fabric of our great nation.
They say women should be treated equally in the society while they are the ones who make Metro rides free for women; they say men & women deserve same job opportunities while they are the ones who reserve special seats for women in government job; they say every individual is equal under the law while they are the ones who punish men fatally than women for the same accusation; they say both the parents have equal right on their child while they are the ones who make it strenuous for men to take the custody of their child in a divorce. The list is legion. It is apparently a lust to divide, not to unite.
Not disregarding the fact that back in days women were not treated equally as men. There were times when they were not qualified to make a public appearance; there were times when female infanticide was killed in it’s mother’s womb before even stepping into this world of unconventional hypocrisy; there were times when women were regarded just as sex figures; there were times when a women was burned alive with her husband after his death. This apparently gave rise to Feminism. With getting all the support, it triumphantly helped women get their deserved place in society. Although some places in our country are still struggling for these rights, and they are the ones who actually need the buttress now.
Such an irony that a positive movement of that aura is now used as just a mean to win a seat in this money making factory. Feminism was a movement but the sensitivity if this issue makes this a direct entry to the parliament. Our country is losing it’s greatness. While assuming out the actual criminal which led to the destruction of our great nation in general public, the pillars of our nation ignored the one sitting in those decorated offices. From once exhibiting the most wealth and culture to today promoting false democracy, we have led down the flag of our great nation.
Democracy is what they say, while the definition is what they ignore. Equality is merely a word of zero gravity while divide and rule is what they support.
