Year 2012 has been a year off with lot more emotional moment and personal. Today, when I see a "Sea of Crowd" via the News congregating at Jantar Mantar, Raisina Hill, Parliament and many other places protesting against the #Rape of the #BraveHeart. It makes me think, how much we have allowed ourselves to be deignerated and allow us to fall to such levels.
The question that pricks my conscious is "How did we fall to this level & state as individuals and at a higher level as a society?. I don't have answers but few thoughts, largely unstructured, what is that we are not doing correctly that at every step their is heinous crime that comes our way and forcing us to think and making our generation get on the roads to protest.
We the generation of 1990's who were born in late 60's & 70's were divided by an arch-type Politician Mr. VP Singh, who divided the Young India of that time into "Higher & Lower Caste Young India" The Anti-Mandal Commission was one of the spontaneous protest started from Jubliee Hostel of Delhi University with Student Union Presidents gathering in the Lawns of the Hostel amongst us. We took to streets, protests, Mashall Jaloos, self Immolation and getting badly mauled by Delhi Police through Water Canon, Tear Gas Canon etc. The youth students were smart they applied Chunna water around eyes and wet handkerchiefs to avoid hurting eyes and throwing it back on the Delhi Police.
Where is my generation, which all will be parents of this generation in the street protesting:
- How did we allow state of our country to come to this point?
- Why are we not voting in a Govt. that will be responsible to our children safety?
- How come we allowed such corruption to happen, while we were enjoying the fruits of un-plugged, economically resurgent India?
- We were the politically conscious generation, knew what these political class can do to our society, still we did not do anything?
- Why don't we vote and our voice make impact ?
- Why didn't we stop giving bribe for anything & everything?
- How do we turn around our face from a crime happening in front of us taking it to be some one else problem?
- We don't ask uncomfortable questions in the forums that we interact in society may it be in our "Resident Welfare Association" etc
In nut shell, have we not dithered from our responsibility of making ourselves accountable to "Ask Questions? in right forum.
The True Tribute to "Young BraveHeart" & many other "Brave Hearts" that we ask questions and not bribe our way and make ourselves accountable for act of omission and commissions.
