It was only in the morning that I was told. And something flickered in my throat. <br /><br />While our young leaders are busy currying the favor of the avowedly impoverished farmers (who form more than half of the population), the common people who work hard to earn their living and their luxuries are left to the mercy of bombers.<br /><br />I can no more keep a count of the really fancy cars I see each time I go out; the number of people who fly abroad each summer; the number of women with Louis Vuitton bags at the dentist’s. But the sick thing is that everybody complains when there is talk of removing the subsidy on LPG. The people need to realize that the govt. has only a certain amount of funds to allocate to different uses, including national security.<br /><br />What the government fails to realize is, that it is precisely this resilient, much bombed lot of people that works hard and pays taxes to subsidize fertilizers, fund NREGS (etc) and provides NSG security that keeps the politicians safe in their white cars, enabling them to come up with more vote bank politics. It is this much overlooked aam janta that keeps the nation going, despite the corruption, the hunger strikes, the insurgencies and the scams.<br /><br />It is only a matter of time before the reservoir of resilience runs dry and a hysteresis is reached; before the people actually running this country decide to call it quits.rasagya kabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09213189147374591314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171798382705471918.post-42573010319333968282011-07-14T11:52:20.807+05:302011-07-14T11:52:20.807+05:30Beautiful.
