An absolution that would never come

Has anybody seen a revolution? How does it look like and what it affects could be? I haven’t, though have heard about it a lot. Actually I use to hear this term all the time. Faces have changed, so do the time, but the term revolution always remained stagnant. It seems like a good thing to me, may be it is the reason that everyone wants it. People starts following those blindfolded, who raise the slogan of revolution.

In real, it’s a fantasy, a lure to gather a mob. A mob of those who don’t know what they want, who are looking at each others pale faces, searching for any positive change, a change that would never come. Why it would? What we are doing for that? There are no quick fixes for the hoards of problems we have created for us. How one man can change the fate of 18 crore people? A magic wand he has that could change this valley of war into a land of fairy tales. Our leader is in ourselves. We have to find it in the inside before looking for any external revolution. It is an inside-out process and not the opposite.

The imported maulvi’s revolutionary saga is its open example. A script tightly woven come to its end. Is this something new to us?? No, every time before the elections we see these kinds of love-making-the-world-go-round stories, a full fledged flick, which begins with a lot of action, blood shedding and ends up with some tears, some smiles and a good whack on the face of the people in the name of justice, democracy and REVOLUTION…

Yesterday who were mocking each other…today hugging and passing smiles? And we like always consider their lie, a truth blindly with the hope that this time we will get the return of our patience, we think that the man standing at the rostrum seems honest, his agenda is in our favor and he’ll stand for us and fight for our rights…but that had neither happened in the past nor would in the future…and why would that happen, why some outsider who is not directly effected by our unjust system will cross the seven seas to save us from this misery…why would someone quit his luxuries to help us? One thing that we have to keep in our mind is that there is no quick fix to our problems. Why would someone stand for us and strive to bring our system on track? Would we do that for someone? No. Would we leave our houses and stay on streets for anyone else or to resolve the issues of the public?? Big No…We won’t do it even for our friend or our neighbor until or unless we have a good motive for that.

How long we will keep on becoming a bait, a title-holder of the tag ‘18 crore awam’, it is on us. How can we expect that we can have a system that other developed nations acquired if we are not honest to our work, if we are not literate, if we don’t care about the country. Revolution lies with in our own selves...and it is a slow process. We can do it by educating us and others, by being honest to our work and to the place we live in, by being liberal, open and absorbent and by helping each other in the process of progressing as a nation. That’s what we call a revolution. A revolution is what we can bring in the field of technology by making the best software…in agriculture by growing the best crop…in mechanics by making the best machine…and by not wasting our time in waiting for a miracle to happen!
