I was speaking with an indian friend who is in Australia a few days back. I mentioned that Australians must be very happy with their performance in the common wealth games. <br /><br />He went morose & said that in those days Australian Media was giving negative publicity of the event on daily basis - shoddy accommodation, stinking toilets, corruption etc; & he was having hard time to save face?<br /><br />Unfortunately in our country there are two sets of communities basically divided by money power. the first type are the 'haves' who have political clout, muscle power, brains wrongly tuned, education, are well placed in the social hierarchy & are corrupt. They will scheme a situation, manipulate affairs to gain unlawful advantage to themselves.<br /><br />The second type are the 'have nots'. They possess none of the above despite hosts of rules / regulations to up - lift their status in all walks of life, as very little is implemented on ground by the design of the 'haves' who have the audacity to mis - appropriate the share of the 'have nots' in their kitty. But they say, ultimately the system corrects itself & that is what maoist / naxalites are trying to do. They find themselves driven back against the wall & hence left with only one choice to move forward & try to force necessary changes through militant means. As the Constitution / law has failed to protect their interests, they care not for the same. We all know theoretically, how to redress these ills & in our wisdom would try to correct the same. But at the very least, we should be sympathetic towards the 'have nots'.<br /><br />Do we feel a pang in our hearts when we see beggars in streets or just want to walk away from the scene because the same is not compatible with our life style?<br /><br />Pradeep Saklani (saks/saku)INDIA OFMY DREAMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08354654681348443147noreply@blogger.com
