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.

Mithun Chakraborty – Bengal’s one & only universal DADA (Big Brother)

When the announcement for Shri Mithun Chakraborty’s news of being nominated for Dadasaheb  Phalke Award for his iconic contribution to Indian Cinema made public, being a Bengali and an ardent fan of the legendary actor, my first reaction was that no one could have been a better flag bearer as a human being to bring back golden days of Bengali Cinema. As announced by I&B Broadcasting Ministry of India on 30 th September 2024, the award was scheduled to be presented on 70 th National Film Awards Ceremony on 8 th October 2024. In middle and lower middle class Bengali community, the word ‘DADA’ , means big brother is uttered with great respect. Mithunda is a person, who earned this respect across the strata of the society and age barrier by his sheer integrity, hard work and humbleness. Today, Mithunda, is not only a film actor, anchor etc, but we look upto him as a brand for every facet of life beyond barrier of merely film acting only. Already, he has earned his respect pan ...

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, ...

CAA-The Black Spot

Hit by protest against implementation of Citizens Amendment Bill (Citizens Amendment Act, now), West Bengal is writhing. Daily life has become immobile and the role of states’ administrative machineries has become questionable. Be it Rail & Road blockade, brainless destruction of public property or setting fire to trains & busses,    all sorts of vandalism are being showcased in different pockets of the state in the name of protest and instead of taking stern actions against those, state administration watching over as mere spectators is bound to raise eyebrows. If you interpret, after reading up to this point that I’m advocating in favour of this Act and thus voicing against protesters, it will be half truth. Problem with public pandemonium is that very easily sentiments take over from logic. Unfortunately, political intolerance in our country, across all party lines has become such that criticism is interpreted as opposition. CAA itself is deplorable since it direct...
