Raped Public of India
The smoke has subsided. The fervor of holding rallies and burning candles has melted. People are back on the run (as no one in Bombay walks), and we like to pacify ourselves with terminology as the ‘resilient spirit of Bombay’. What a load of bullshit is this pacification. What choice does an average Bombayite have? If he does not got to work he and his family does not eat, as simple as that. So where does resilience come into the picture? It is a matter of no choice.The brutality in the way people died during the terrorist killing will be commemorated with some plaque in some corner of some building, and that’s it. Then we sit and wait for the next attacks and make a hue and cry. Some wise crack will garner support through the Net and get a crowd gathered and bask in the moment of glory, fame and publicity. Some lyricist / script writer and an (m)ad man will use that opportunity to boost their public image, and pride in the cheap publicity and claim that we made a noise………..empty vessels.
R.R. Patil who shut down an Industry of ‘Dance Bars’ under the stupid flimsy and lousy excuse that these places breed anti-social elements, and is an underworld den when gangsters meet. Which dance bar did the terrorists visit before creating carnage in the city? Has anti-social activities stopped after that. Has the underworld hung their boots……..No, but instead it is proven that Dawood Ibrahim has funded the recent terror attacks. Now what else are we going to shut? Good thing is atleast the jerk Patil is shut out of office, but then we would have bigger jerks that are in the waiting. We have Raj Thackrey who hid like a rat in the hole during the terrorist attacks and after that whole fiasco is over comes to congratulate firemen who braved their lives. Why could he not show his face or base when the city was held to ransom? Where was his bunch of party workers who were ready to offer him protection when Z category protection of his was withdrawn, and the dick got wet his pants later, and went to the government begging for protection when there was an incident of a guy from UP who hijacked a bus and wanted to bump him off………wish he had succeeded.
The biggest terrorist threat our country has lived with, has never been external. It has always been internal, which is the political institution of the country, and for that we have to blame only ourselves. The country needs a revolution of people; a new system. What is the new system I don’t know, but all I know is the present one does not work. Once elected politicians behave like dictators and moral police me. Dance bars are bad, Valentine’s Day is a western influence. If not elected vandalise property to remain in public and media glare and project they are fighting the cause of the people like drive North Indians out; display boards in Marathi; etc. In the process hold the city to ransom. Deprive the average common man his right to earn his daily wage. Is this also not terrorism? Can these political arseholes be not treated on the same law as for terrorists? Cause at the end of the day the common man is nothing short of being terrorized.
Who are these politicians to decide to change the name of my city? Then change name of the Airport and confuse a visitor to the city as today in Bombay both the Airports the domestic and international are named after Shivaji Maharaj. Wouldn’t it have been better with the old name of Santacruz Airport and Sahar Airport. Has Shivaji Maharaj’s name being added enhanced the reputation or services……….No, instead has become worse, and judged as the most delayed arrival airports in the world for 2008.
Why can’t we not unite and fight for a change (not just protest) to get the name Bombay back. A small beginning to prove we are not going to take it anymore. The big stuff or creating awareness, burning candles, silent marches are all very momentary and temporary. The politicians know that Bombay has no spirit, and public memory is short as short and we can do nothing.
So let us on this coming Republic Day of India, send a message that we the Public of India will not stand this raping any more
