Much hyped in the media, in the middle of war of words Rahul Gandhi visited Mumbai today 05th Feb 2010 for 4hours … what did he achieve, what was his agenda??? First he bought Mumbai to a complete halt, 100 handshakes, a dialogue “Mumbai belongs to all” (Implement it... you politician) , a stunt of traveling in the Mumbai local and then zipping off to another location. Hmmm, A representative of Youth, lineage of Gandhi family & a student of “Ahimsa” (Non Violence)… what did he really achieve & what is the youth of the country really following?
Well in my view he achieved nothing else than pleasing the youth & other crowd who would have gathered to meet/ see a Gandhi. Now coming to what he really could have achieved… what could have been that one thing which could have really set an example about Unity in Diversity? What could have been that one thing that he would have done which might have been the first step (youth’s steps) to build bridges between two ideologies??? Do you care, do you have a clue?
For me & to impress me, I would have liked to see him land in Mumbai… do whatever business he was here for (which is useless by the way, what he doing it or any other leader does it) & then visit Mr. Balasaheb Keshav Thackeray, forgetting the political rivalry & becoming a young boy looking for a seniors blessing & discussing issues, (if one believes Mr. Thackeray has done nothing, for me he has spent 40years in the business, is a respected leader from some & is a Classic Artist). I would love to do this tomorrow, but because of being just a common man I will not be allowed anywhere near any two of them.
A youth leader could have proved today the maturity of the youth & created history for generations to read & learn from. “par yeh ho na saka… aura b yeh alam hai ke” (but this couldn’t happen & now the situation is such) that the abusing & counter attacks will continue in the media for the public to praise the respected one, he will keep shaking hands, gather crowds due to his persona & lineage… but I am sorry to say never will he be able to teach, change or do anything for the betterment of the country & countrymen. His "AMBITION" might get fulfilled in the future but for no benefit to the common man… he will remain what he is & the way he is…
Sad but the truth!
Wake up Indian’s stop following blindly… ask questions & “BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE”. Solution some ask for here it is, will you work for this to happen???
I request everyone to distribute this as far as possible… so that this reaches the not so “Youthful” in his thinking the Youth Leader of future India. I know many of my friends will be irritated of me sending them links to these kinds of notes… maybe it might not be of any interest to you but you might have a link to a link which could make these notes reach the intended person.
I care… let’s say together “WE CARE”
