One honest chance

The kind of pessimism we have witnessed among the Aam Aadmi of India, during past one year is unprecedented and to some extent uncalled for. The anti-establishment sentiment among the plebeians is not an uncommon sight through out the history. What makes this current anti-establishment wave peculiar is the section of Indian middle class, which is at the forefront, voicing their opinion against the government. It is very easy now a days to find a pandit wearing the hats of an expert in public policy, administration, governance, constitution, foreign policy, finance and everything else that the government deals with, along with religion, culture, Indian history. When asked about the current policies of the government regarding governence and fiscal management, they some time turn a blank face but can give sermons on Secularism and development.

It appears that suddenly the middle class on India has drank a vile of wisdom and knowledge, though not reflected in the stats of economic development but can be seen flooding the Internet under their self-righteous banners. I am often flabbergasted by the clairvoyance of the people about how corrupt, crony and communal the next government will be, leader of which was elected 3 times as Chief Minister of a state that has grown faster than China during his tenure. At the same time singing sermons for a revolution which will transform India into an eutopia. The supporters of the party, advocating the revolution can be often seen wearing a white cap and can be very dangerous if debated with and their logic and arguments will be as authoritarian as a Modibhakt or a congressia (last seen in 2009). If you are expecting the same calmness as shown by their leader yogendra yadav then you are in for a surprise because most of them Ideolise Arvind Kejriwal and are often against everything that has anything to do with the government, even judiciary.

I don't know that how the new government will carry forward its business but as we have a new government, we should support it with a positive intent to full fill our aspiration. The point that i want to highlight is that though people are voicing their opinions, its very rarely that the opinions are voices through proper channel. Every body will complain about the roads and electricity but how many have written a letter to the responsible authorities regarding their concerns. The kind of pessimism many people are showing is neither good for their health nor of the country.
