You cannot ignore this guy. You can love or hate him but not ignore him.
Haters call his actions as theatrical. Lovers hail him as the crusader. But his actions definitely asks for your action. To love or hate him. To take positions.
The issues are such. Long has India been in slumber and Indians are yet to wake up and question. Subservience runs in the blood. Indians have got freedom from the physically spottable enemies. But they cannot see the latent enemy. British had long left. But the mindset of the politicians are no different. Indian political system has shown us some of the biggest and baddest scams. The scams are what appears on the surface. Deep within is a craving to gather more and more and more and more and more. This could have roots in the way princes ruled this land. If citizens have to go with a begging bowl to their own people whom they voted into power, it cannot get worser.
The model where Government created jobs miserably failed and it became a obstacle in the path of growth. Globalisation has opened the door for more goods, more jobs but it has had its dark side with the strong and powerful politicians of India who were the maximum beneficiaries of the produce.
As a entrepreneur I would have expected how I set up business and the completion of the same in a jiffy if I comply with the rules. Here you see a powerful layer called the politicians and the system they have created called the Government colluding to flout every norm, every rule to reap the benefits in the process driving away genuine businesses. Letting in those who are sort of flexible in dealing with this 'layer'.
And this man supported by a new crop of general public exposing this 'Layer' that has been created over decades, its sinister designs, its collusions and crony capitalism is obviously hated and questioned and derided by the beneficiaries of this 'layer'. People who are passive observers are obviously confused by the mid night raids in Delhi or the Dharna etc.
These are not the things they are used to. They are used to being subservient. They are used to being 'give me something to eat and I will mind my own business' and the 'layer' is used to throw some bread crumbs whenever things hotted up a bit and they used to have a seven course maharaja lunch.
How can the maharaja suddenly disappear? What will happen to our image and the lives we have led all these years? How can there be no palace? How can there be no dictums? When some one is sleeping on the road in bitter cold to protect the women in the city, the image built over decades, the subservience built over time, the crony mindset exhibited by us when extending a bribe to get some personal work done ….oh all of this if it has to disappear, then where the hell is this I? The I, I have carefully nurtured and built in this so called society.
Some one out there is breaking your mindset. He is calling you a lunatic who has been adjusting to this system for years without raising a voice. Without questioning for fear of getting ridiculed. So, the natural reaction is you turn around and call him a lunatic, a joker and so on. Why disturb when all of us are sucking this nectar? Happily able to write whatever we feel like in the media and sit back to look at the next email from your boss who is directly or indirectly linked to the way we are today.
You often do not get a chance to wake up from your sleep. This is one such opportunity. It is not about Kejriwal. It is not about AAP. It is about a inner awakening to question things which you had conveniently ignored all along.
Wake up! Question!! Observe!!! Act!!!!
