I see a man fighting all on his own with the system today. Someone, who had never left the field without giving a hard fight to the corrupted evils. Someone who was not joined by many even at the start of the LokPal bill campaign. Someone who shook our heart with an empty stomach and an everlasting smile. Someone who never waited for anybody to come forward but took the mission in his hand and moved ahead. And for whom was he doing it by the way? He's probably burnt his skin in the scorching summers all these years than the CM who today questioned of no inclusion of any people from a certain caste. What has caste got to do with a fight which is trying to establish an egalitarian society. What has it got to do with the CM herself who has assets worth crores her name? Whether the LokPal committee consists of people from certain castes or not is not the intention here. These are the proposed suggestions made by Anna, where the accountable has to pay and not get a chance to run away with the public money that they looted all these years.
As for the divide on the name of caste, reservations etc, which is created more by the Politicos than it residing inside the countrymen, it is high time we start looking forward to measure the achievement about such laws. Can some one counter a bullet in a war-field to be shot in his knees and not heart or brain, just because they chose a particular religion/caste. Do any of my fellow countrymen from other caste who joined the defense forces, wanted any concession or subsidy in the harshness of the field training. I don't think so, for they never thought of themselves to be different from anyone else fighting for a cause. They braved the many who dilly dallied in the quest of being the best. It is high time that we as countrymen should also gather and fight this evil of in-equality not from the society but from our inner self first. Injustice is not limited and is not a by-product from any one caste in the society. Everyone in the system is vulnerable to it. And the only way to break it is to bring the social, communal change that brings everybody on the same platform. Where everyone appreciates each others progress not because he comes from an elite society or not that he gets in because of the advantages provided, but because of the mere dedication, hard-work put in by the person who earned his position in the society and in the eyes of those competing with him. I am blessed to know few people who even today, write the religion as Indian in their kid's school admission forms and deny any priviledges, bringing both them and their kids as a main stay of the society. I salute to the spirit of these true Indians, who by all means and measures, have decided to remain grounded and have inculcated humanity above everything else, irrespective of the caste/creed, in their children, who are our future torchbearers.
