Might is Right


Winning an election poll cannot be synonymous with significant attainment of great work done by politicians or their respective associations, influencing people in such a way that there deed will be commemorated by future generations also. It is not so simple, albeit our politicians are relentless in trying making us believe so. With self propaganda to its extreme and backed by numerous pet media around, more often than not people tends to fall prey to their trap. But history, no matter how unscrupulously depicted, will reveal the truth ruthlessly and hit people’s life for the misdeed done by their predecessor.

 

While leading to Panchayat Election 2018, West Bengal is witnessing series of incidents, which can only be compared to Avengers: Infinity War. Jokes apart, the prevalent conditions are far from cinematic. The court of law has to prod almost every administrative decision. It is no exception in case of Panchayat Elections date of Filing nominations and date of polling also. With the ruling party wining almost one third of the seats uncontested, even before the election could be held, propriety of the process can be questioned.

 

A supposed celebration of democracy is getting into a terrible fiasco, for which, every political party is passing the bucks to other while themselves showing their brawn.  If reports of media are to be believed, people are living in trepidation, which undesirable in a democracy. People are more concerned about their life & sustenance amidst this political brawl. The ruler is trumpeting their success in making lives of ordinary people better, while the oppositions are trying trade dreams of better future. In a democracy, witty argument and counter argument is healthy and people should be final judge of their argument. Political parties are showing least tolerance and faith on people’s wisdom, instead they are doing exactly opposite, probably giving new definition of democracy “Might is Right”.

Piyali Island – Your Weekend Jaunt

More often than not, whenever we contemplate about taking a break from routine city life, our mind starts wandering about destinations pretty common to all of us.   While discussing a jaunt on a fall winter weekend amongst friends, the onus was upon me to find out a place which is close by, beautiful yet not very commonly known to masses. Instantly, the name of Piyali Island popped up in my mind.   Earlier, somewhere I’ve heard of the place but never happened to be there.   However, I’ve started scouring in the internet as well as amongst people who might be aware about it. From the internet, I got desired information to be able to put up to my association. Most of the people I asked though told me about the picnic spot Piyali which is en route to Canning, 24 Parganas (S). But, since I knew that what I was looking for I didn’t pay any heed to it.   Four of friends, including me decided to take up the excursion on Sunday, 21 st January 2018 by local t...

India And Her Malicious Neighbours

  Pakistan, as always, from its formative days has only had one point agenda, and that is to keep trying to disturb and disrupt our motherland. Despite being slapped time and again in their every malicious intention, they seem to be adamant that they will stop at nothing. All kind of atrocious activities, deception, deceit, falsehood, human right violation, patronising terrorist activity and eventually shameless denial of all proven offences seems to be in their social DNA. Day after day, they digging deep hole for their own country by trying to disturb our countries inner peace. Yet they do not have will to learn from history.   ‘OPERATION SINDOOR’ will be written in the history of mankind with a warning that there is no respite for the perpetrators involved in conspiracy against our motherland. Son & daughters of our soil will avenge them for sure. We have always believed and practised assimilation over destruction as our country’s strength. Unfortunately, Pakistan, ...

Political Entrapment

Education and health system in West Bengal is in complete dismay. Teachers are busy protesting on the roads, since they have become victim of the limitless corruption in the system. Healthcare workers too, including doctors protesting against the system for exposing them to hooliganism in their job places. Why only them, everywhere around us, we can feel a sense of anarchy has taken over. As if, this anarchism is the new normalcy for them, people of West Bengal have accepted and living their life through smart phones, in self centred cocoon into the virtual world of social media. It is not that there are not protest and rebuttal coming across, but the problem is those voices are nose diving midway either in the political whirlwind or withering away as ebb tide and being taken over by new issues. Honestly, sometimes, it feels that negative issues are becoming addictive and people are willing to discuss negativity, as past time more than seriously contemplating over their impact on our s...
