Sovereign,Socialist,Secular,Democratic,Republic OR Political Gunsmanship

"It is rare to be born as a human being,

It is still rarer to be born without any deformity.
Even if you are born without any deformity,
It is rare to acquire knowledge and education.
Even if one could acquire knowledge and education,
It is still rare to offer service to the mankind and contemplate on the higher self.
If one leads such a selfless divine life,

The gates of heaven open to greet such an evolved soul"

Are we living In a democracy?

Recently we did have an exodus of people moving from banglore and Mumbai back to NE eastern states.

We are told they did not feel safe and we did have thousands of people living in the major cities travelling back overnight. Did you have the same feeling anytime on your own.

I am told the same scenes happened in the 1970’s when the south Indians living in Mumbai and more recently with the bihari’s and baiyass living in Mumbai.

Leave the normal citizens aside event he stars like Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh khan had to face the brunt of the so called political class. When these stars themselves had to face the brunt forget the common man.

The issue with Amitabh I am told was him praising the Allahabad and Shah was about having pakistani players in his team. These people had to face the brunt of the political class by violence to the man on streets and also tearing away of the posters of their films .But more importantly creating a fear cykosis in the people themselves.

Are we a guinune democracy if we are not able to speak out issues touching our heart?

I am told that the freedom of speech also states that we are not supposed to  hurt the sentiments of the people, which are grossly misused by these politicians. I am sure that neither shah rukh nor amitabh bachchan were hurting the sentiments of the people.

So are we still a republic which functions on the whims and fancies of these netas who use political gunmanship. They do have the right to respond by saying they do not agree with the person.Also at these points in time none of the so called other progressive  democratic parties have condemned the incidents by their contemporaries or supported the victims plight.

Are these qualities of a vibrant democracy or a so called timid neta raj ?.

Though coming back to the N-E the response from the parliament has been in Union and has been categoric  and quick ‘That people from any part of India can live anywhere’.

A wise person  has said life is about serving not gunning them down.
