May Day: Some Words Beyond:

It is my firm conviction nowadays, transformed from sheer doubt, with the political environment prevailing in West Bengal, that every political party is struggling to prove that it is far better a 'leftist' one than the other ones, and even better than the leftists during historically record-breaking Left Front government ruling for long thirty-two years. Successfully, with wonders, they have established it because, excepting the Brigade Parade Ground and any good cause, the lefstists are found nowhere else. It appears to be almost an extinct political constellation of leftist political parties. 

Leftists chiefly believe in the projection of the prevailing poverty all over the country, and their work-apex lay in the utopian aspiration to bring about 'equality' in the society, and the pathetic fallacy lies in the fact that within the uneducated mass of our country, it is firmly believed that firstly and foremostly, if someone is speaking about bringing about 'equality' in the society, it must be the 'financial equality' with a sweeping wipe-out of the feud between the rich and the poor, keeing aside all the other prime factors of 'equality'. 

The present leading political parties are doing the same - the projection of the administrative top-brass living in the slippers and khadi, exploring and interpreting Hinduism even beyond Swami Vivekananda and even aspiring to promote a glorified but adulterated sainthood that has the lion's share of an abominable politics - are all directed to one singular objective, to become a better 'leftist', under the facade of different names, and apparently, different philosophies. This show of 'differences' is nothing but an empty falunt. 

The entire nation is misdirected towards glorification of poverty and poor education through promotion of the heads of states having the same stature. Everyone is not an Akber, the great Mughal Emperor, with exceptionally sharp mind and wisdom to foresee the entire Bharatbarsh, though illiterate, during becoming the Boy King. Everyone is not an APJ Abdul Kalam, too, to rise from such poverty to rise to such height to make our nation proud to the world like noone ever did, after independence. It would be foolish to treat some miserably wicked political minds of the present time to equal to these wisest personalities of India, irrespective of their religious beliefs. 

Now what the nation sees is that, Education and Health are for the rich, so is the Law. The goverment organisations are being made crippled in a very planned way, in a very slow and steady manner. The private organisations are rising, where there is no place for the poor and the lower middle class. So, the role-models are changing in the minds of the greater youth in the country. They are no longer the freedom fighters of the country, who had education and primary values of life. The nation is observing rightly that, in the last two decades, to gain power in India, one does not need to be educated. Straight pursuing of 'politics' as a profession from early puberty, without attaining even basic education, being abusive to all the other parties and the people asking them questions blatantly, are the very USPs of them and these all amount to a very bright future. And voila, in the next fifteen years, if one is daring enough and has managed to go to jail, for a couple of times due to political reasons, she/ he will surely be winning the crown. 

NOW, she/he, without any education, has the power to dictate millions of people who have struggled to get properly educated. 

The entire nation is in a state of frenzy to celebrate that its top ministers did not have proper education even. These leaders strike poses as role models in India, because the two best things that sell in our democracy are, poverty and illiteracy. A leader with such qualities are to be treated as God. Having these two are the great qualifications for the budding leaders of the nation beacuse these are the exact two socio-economic factors for the mass to empathize with those uneducated leaders. Their success is treated as the very success of the poor and uneducated mass. The mass is very easy to be moved thus, sentimentally, and it drastically fails to identify the clever politics played with them. 

I believe to run a nation, the biggest democracy in the world, with one hundred and forty one crores of population, the respected heads of it, at any level, must have proper education, through successful completion of their higher education.  

It is pathetic to see that even a century has not passed after independence, and where the country has gone to. This was not the 'Independence' our respected freedom fighters had conceived of against their honesty, education, values and sacrifices.

Everey politician in any democracy in the world sells the 'leftist' philosophy' in different packages so that we fail to understand and recognize it. 

In West Bengal CPI (M) and its allies had the great fall because they, in their last ten years of reign, had greatly deviated from the very foundation of 'leftism' they had built their empire upon. They failed to take criticisms and warnings from within the party cadres. Those same cadres, frustrated with the autocracy, in the name of democracy, shifted to some alternative with expectations of better days lurking in 'leftism' only. 

The present ruling parties in both West Bengal and India have not been least heuristic and thus, shall be meeting the same catastrophe. The tragedies are not of fate, but are of an inevitable 'hamartia'.
