This is the season of election in INDIA. We INDIANS are going to elect our next representative for five years(I hope so). This is a high time in INDIA of various kinds of debate. There are debates of Young vs. Old, Upper Castes vs. Dalit and many more; few are relevant and few are here just for elections. Meanwhile, day before yesterday, I saw the manifesto of Samajwaadi Party.......it left me astonished. Samaajwadi Party, which was started with the ideals of Jai Parkash Narayan, is now making mockery of the name of JP. It was a great shocker for me. Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav is opposing English education as well as Computerisation in India.According to him, Computerisation is giving rise to unemployment in India and the education of English is giving an edge to the students belong to opulent portion of society. First I would like to take up the subject of the Computerisation in India. Memories of some newspapers headlines of late eighties and early nineties are still in my mind when the Left were opposing the computerisation in India and the argument was the same as Mr. Yadav......And now, S/W sector is providing direct employment to more than 1.7 million people in India and the indirect number would be up to 4 to 5 times of that. All the newly emerging metros of India are attributed to this growth. The states, which have not participated in this great S/W boom saga of India, are now lagging behind in progress chart. UP and Bihar are burning example of that (I would like to mention here that NOIDA is more a part of NCR than UP).It is necessary to give proper attentions to other sectors also but no one can deny the role of S/W in the development of country and rise of GDP in last decade. I am not very much clear about the intentions about Mr. Yadav behind this manifesto, but I think this is only use of the policies of the British to let the people unaware and use them in your own way.That is why our politicians, whose own children get educated in topmost schools of country and world, want to make rest of the country deprive of that.
I have a question on this. How long we will tolerate this kind of politics ????? Few states of our country have only become a battleground of caste and religion based politics. Leaders (???) never asked for vote on the name of progress but only for the name of caste. The most dominating statistics is the number of voters of a specific caste or religion. And using the manifesto like we saw two days back, they only want to make the people fool so that our common man can never see the world outside his scope.
I feel pity of myself only because we are the only people who have given them a chance to make a fool of us. At the time of elections, we used to forget everything but our caste or religion, which is definitely not going to give us fruits of development in next five years. Now it is not only our duty but also a necessity for our survival to come out of this otherwise we will become fool for coming several years by those, whose children have been educated in foreign universities and they are stopping us to learn even one foreign language and barring us to use computers through which we can see the world..........
