The Politics: Devil-May-Care

Bihar is a land of unfortunate individuals who always think that Bihar will shine one day. They try to outdo what “fortunate” Biharis have given to our state in the form of anarchy, chaos, confusion, disorder, disregard, hostility, mob-rule, nihilism and turmoil. These “fortunate” Biharis have similarities in their conduct, competence, deportment, deeds and delivery irrespective of their caste, creed and religion. This has made “Bihari society” a divided lot.

Only severe punishment in whatever the form to these muggers, marauders, criminals, jail-bird and their empathizers will allow Bihar to shine one day. But their remotely-controlled pestilence activities always silence the voice of unfortunate individuals by adding few phrases such as “embarrassment for the state government” and “condemnation by human rights organization”. Act of political party whosoever got the chance to oppose have always strengthen the morals of these blackmailers and racketeers. I am equally concerned about the involvement of media belonging to “virulent class” in this business.

Highly agog policemen in Bhagalpur might have thought that the morals of criminals could be demolished by such caustic castigation, tiding a chain-snatcher to a motorcycle and dragging them several meters. Mind that large crowd cheered the policemen. “KOI HIMMAT NAHIN KAREGA AISI HARKAT KARNA” might be the feelings of the frustrated policemen and dumb large crowd who have gone “saluting” criminals in the past. No “enlightened” persons can certainly praise the way the case has been handled by two policemen and the large crowd.

But, what is happening on the streets of Bihar after recent Bhagalpur incidence is much more shameful than the act of policemen. The chain-snatcher “Aurangzeb” has been made hero of minority front and symbol of “Alpsankhyank Virodh” or Minority Oppression by the people of vested interests. {See the photos taken by Shashi Uttam in Patna Daily}. I am appalled to see the behavior of “fortunate Biharis” making mockery of administration, forcing administration to remain under “siege” and at the same time they are silently strengthening the hands of criminals and their empathizers.

Political “incorrectness” has always given opportunity to suppress the voice of individuals in Bihar. Hundreds/thousands of innocents lost their “human rights” to live and work in Assam and elsewhere, but no organization thought of giving attention. The way everything got connected from Bhagalpur to other cities of Bihar is a dangerous sign of political rivalry. Criminals in Bihar are loosing grip everyday, and this “Aurgangzeb” has given them opportunity to blow it out of proportion to gain ground. Criminal is criminal and must be dealt severely without seeing their names and surnames. Time demands matured political masters as well as responsible media.
 

Comments:
Sudhir Ranjan ji, I appreciate your view points.

I never have witnessed such protests over the brutal killings of hard earning innocent Biharis in Assam and humiliations faced on other states. Also surprised by disappearances of human rights, NGOs and lackluster of media on these vital issues.

But, my head is downed with shame to see the support for this thief. The secular RJD is reaping communal crops over this incident. This chain snatcher may be offered ticket to fight elections on RJD ticket or Ram Vilas Paswan might be thinking to project this guy as his dreamed Muslim Chief Minister on next election. I predict the fanatic supporters of this guy may raise mazaar on his name after his death. Once this scoundrel becomes MLA or MP, he will punish those constables and awakened citizens and again Janata Janardan’s voice will be sealed.

The behaviors of LALUs are expected but the surrender of Nitish government disappoints us. Such incidences have emboldened the morals of thieves, dacoits, eve-teasers, rapists, and kidnappers, so called pillars of anti-social worlds and demoralized the enlightened citizens and cops. Nitish Kumar should have stood tough against the thief and in support of masses. - Parshuram - Aug. 31, 2007

I can understand the motive behind beating "Chor Uchakka" in front of mob. Policemen should give this message to everyone for not to do this "chori-chapati" again which is prevalent in all over India particularly at railway stations, bus stands, airports, and other common places. Many a times, we see mob catches 'chor uchakkas' and beat them up in public which is good, not bad and then the people hand them over to the policemen. The policeman, after taking some money and after beating "do char thappar", leaves him so as to allow him to continue doing the same crime again. But I can understand the pain when you are being robbed by these "chor uchakkas" in bus stations and railway stations. Most of the time, people cannot catch them but when they do and a policeman is called, then a beating gives good message to all "Chors" of that area to refrain themselves from committing such acts. In my view, in that case, media should make news that "Ab Bihar me Choron ki Khair Nahin", but instead they make the news in different ways. One person made the video clip that erupted hungama in whole nation. I found Human Right Commission acted so fast; this is also good.

Though I don't understand the motive behind making this as a big news by print and electronic media but somewhat this is also ok because local reporters wants to send "Masala news" to his boss and his boss will give huge money for this great act without verifying the news before broadcast, at least that's what has happened in the case of "Sushila Mishra".

But giving religious color of it is ridiculous and shameful.

How can we think about the development of the state or nation where people come out on the streets with banners, disrupt normal life, adjourn Parliament, police firing and so on?

I am not frustrated at what the media have shown to the whole world, rather I am frustrated at what our politicians are doing in this episode. I cannot condemn and write against the police but I seriously condemn the acts of politicians of Bihar in particular and India as a whole. It's a shame! - Bibhuti Bikramaditya, Seoul, S Korea - Aug. 31, 2007
