Politically Apolitical

Politically apolitical!

I’m sure that most individuals will ridicule the term if not downright reject the same. Why we always shy away from accepting bare facts and try to cover it up with pseudo satisfaction as if it was never present? Why we always like to keep truth behind our back and run for illusive objects?

 I have never been an advocator against positive thinking instead always try to look at the sunny side of things. Having said that, putting your hands into fire and expecting it will not burn, if that is what is meant by positive thinking then please excuse me! According to me that is non-practical. Either you have put out the fire or refrain yourself from putting your hand into it.

As a responsible citizen, it is very appalling to fathom out what is happening in our society and thereby my inner feeling tries to voice out through my writings. In one of my earlier blog also I’ve expressed my distress on how Bengal’s politics is getting increasingly polluted with communalism. Menacing effect of the same is evident by way of mutual disrespect filled up with suspicion amongst two major communities.  Both the ruling and opposition are responsible for playing the cards as per their political game plan.  Another aspect of Bengal’s politics, long looked upon by masses as innocuous with respect to communalism and therefore fostered by earlier rulers and thereafter successfully and more blatantly carried forward by present ruling party is politicisation of everything under the sky.  Interference of politics in every minuscule incident, even in the matters of administration makes things worse.  So much so, that common people of our state probably started to believe that involving politics is omnipotent and they have right to do so, as precedence and everyday occurrence corroborates their belief.  It has been successfully inculcated by ruling political parties over period of time that anything and everything in our daily life is about politics and politics only (especially of the ruling party) can be our saviour.

We have dumbly watched how administration, judiciary become almost non-existent over a period of time.  Hooligans and anarchist, by virtue of being under the shade of ruling party has taken over.  Colour of the Ruler changed; these peoples changed boat and kept proximity to the power epicentre and ruled the roost.  Administration has become lame and can’t steadfast without nod from ruling party’s Supremo. 

I’ve used the word ‘probably’ quite judiciously; as I would love to believe that still there is large number of my fellow citizens who are inclined to keep administration independent and moreover,  apolitical strata in them, who unwillingly has to become ‘political’ for a ‘cause’ is looking for a leeway to breathe free.
