Last
week has been terrible because of the news of
the social evils. In Kolkata, a young woman had
to lose her husband, as he was poorer and of
different faith. Her industrialist father got
her husband eliminated with help of the police
chief. Even if the husband committed suicide, it
was due to the mental agony he had to undergo
because of police pressure and threat.
The news of conviction of Bihar’s politicians
attached with the killing of Gopalganj DM, G.
Krishnaiha provided some hope. However, the
politicians of Bihar live on the caste fodder.
How long it will go on? The news of George
Fernandes visiting the convicted politician in
jail to lend his support was just disgusting:
‘Thakurs bosses from parties ranging from JD (U)
to BJP and LJP accompanied Fernanades including
one independent MLC.’ Why can’t the politicians
and caste biggies fight the legal battle with
evidences and appeals in higher courts rather
than showing their affinity and affection for
the caste of the convict by massive support in
courtroom or visiting jail showing their might?
And then why can’t Fernandes retire and leave
Bihar to its people? Did he ever visit Mrs. G.
Krishnaiha and her daughters or did he provide
any assistance to see that the family could have
a respectful living once her husband and the
father of the kids was murdered? Why should
Fernandes keep on taking the people of Bihar for
granted to support him for all silly things that
he had been famous for since the days he
banished IBM and Coco Cola?
Like all other politicians of the state,
Fernandes also have hardly done anything for the
benefits of the people of Bihar who kept on
electing him though he was an alien. I wish he
had shown some magnanimity and kept Nitish out
of his criticism. Are Lalu and Ram Vilas not
good enough to do that?
I do also have some sympathy for the convicted
couple. After all they are from respectable
family backgrounds. I feel really hurt when such
persons leave behind some real bad examples for
the other young men and women of the state. The
convicted leader alone could have certainly
persuaded and stopped the mob because of his
leadership quality from lynching Krishnaiha for
no fault of his own except that he was a
government officer.
People of Bihar are feeling proud that Bihar is
becoming the first state that has come out
heavily on the politicians who are criminals too
in real life. The court verdict if anything has
provided a landmark. Fast Track court is doing a
fine job. It must go on like that till the law
and order is restored and people of Bihar as
well the investors feel confident of a peaceful
living in Bihar. No rally or political gimmickry
of Ram Vilas, Lalu, or George should slow the
process. Bihar needs ruthless handling aiming
for having no place for criminals in public
life, be it Sunil Pandey, Surajbhan, Shukla or
Pappu or Shahabuddin. They must be behind bar or
in the other world.
Let the lords of the land be humble and forget
for ever the feudal habits and practices. Let
the law and order prevail at all cost. Let the
caste system die forever and a new order be born
and get established fast for a lasting peace and
prosperity in Bihar.

The
order can never change. We are all
hypocrites. The only advice to the
oppressed is to live like lions and
not like lambs as said by Dr
Ambedkar. - Atma - Oct. 18, 2007 |
