The month of August is always auspicious for people and nation, but in a very special way for children, who manage to venture out free of encumbrances to run around flying kites and enjoying the heat of the season, forget all the ice creams and lollypops. Ramdev also earned a few flying moments, quite reminiscing his younger days that took him close to 7th class, when he too made a dart for the vain fame giving vent to his hollow attempts to fly around with corruption.
Ramdev’s educational kit hardly measures up to an 8th class dropout. Yet the temerity with which he acted foolish, ignorant and ill-educated by overstepping his own stature was reminiscent of the early ages when barbarity and plunder determined the ability of people and dynasties. Those were days when kings and dynasties flourished at the cost of lowly human beings whose only livelihood lay in doing the bid of wealthy and powerful leaders.
His sudden outburst at the Central Government pointedly targeting a party of Indian National Congress fame amounted to rushing to execute the bid as stooge to opposition parties at the behest of the communal elements constantly gnawing in to the ethos and philosophy of the nation. His dubious tactics came to light when his pestilent activities received the support of communal parties, prominent among them being the BJP and their sympathizers. What could be termed as a power struggle was the nod he received from other regional parties consisting of SP and BSP who too chipped in their own version of support.
There is no denying the fact that the opposition parties including those standing solidly behind the present government at the Centre are gruelingly aching to savour power by hook or by crook. The hordes of communal fanatics who accompanied Ramdev in his wake to hoot and applaud his call to oust Congress Party were a clear indication as to which way the needle pointed to.
Even so, within his mean intellect he awfully failed to portray what he himself was blurting out, quite unsure of his own limits and ignorant of what exactly he was blazing to depict through his pipe dream viz. ‘ousting the Indian National Congress’.
He, Ramdev is quite ignorant of facts. The nation holds the party (INC) in high esteem having the wholehearted support by a whopping majority all over the country. Moreover, Congress Party having widely acclaimed roots all over the country, is literally a spontaneous culmination of a sublime dream nurtured by scores of eminent intellectuals and leading luminaries of the land and handing out a challenge to the party would tantamount to treachery and conspiracy against the nation, the people and the constitution. His vain attempt to erase a party from the national scene is reminiscent of many well educated and better equipped political stalwarts who had even earlier resorted to tarnishing its image but despite several summersaults had to ultimately fade away from the national scene in to obscurity and rejection. The INC has a better image than what Ramdev or his communal coterie might fancy. Daring to toss the image of the largest single party in the country which the nation holds in high esteem and which party was nurtured, upheld and elected by billions of professed minds and respectable people and citizens of better worth, only showed up the narrow minded communal gang and an emaciated ignorant frame under Ramdev assuming scale levels that demand better education, culture and Godliness. This could be a singular act which Ramdev or his fanatics would hardly manage to achieve. Can Ramdev be termed a conspirator against the national leaders and the nation’s interests? A brief pause for contemplation by Ramdev himself!
Little did his emaciated frame know that the Indian National Congress was the edifice of hard work by millions of dedicated and learned men and women of vision, of wisdom and people who knew their mettle!
His attitude to overstep a government and his call to oust a national party like Congress (INC) does not portray even a mind of 8th standard schooling he claims to have done, what to speak of imagining himself capable of ousting corruption or bringing back black money from abroad, so on and so forth. His blunt brain does not even realize that all perilous evils plaguing the nation emanates from Hinduism which carries with it corruption (greed for money), extremism (dowry deaths), narrow-minded thought process or approach (their dream blitz called Hindustan) and many more evils all of which account for their hatred of Muslims (their sworn enemy), their ire which saw much riots and attacks on masjids, churches, rape of nuns, butchery of innocent priests and many more to their credit. He joined hands with a people and party whose specifics point to destructive trends instead of adhering to a constructive approach for the betterment of the nation and a people. In short, Ramdev is forging a future in the company of people whose identity can hardly fetch a purpose.
Ramdev, for a change, would do better to steer out of his cave of animal wisdom and come face to face with a better world of peace and harmony, in states which house lakhs of Christians, Kerala being one, where people have always maintained peace and harmony. States where mind has not got corrupted and where one would not require communal elements to beat empty drums around for a call to oust the soul of the nation, the INC. It is another matter that Communism did wreak havoc on the psyche of people in few states, on account of which, even to this day the people are yet to come out the trauma that left them unconscious of the eternal harm they were wreaking on the land, on the nation and on a peace loving people.
However, if Ramdev imagines his wealth or fame can eradicate the very evil which has made him one, he is only imposing a failed dream in to his life of fantacies.
People who undertake fast in the name of democratic rights are guilty of violating or breaking the peace of the land, of the people or of the constitution.
An indefinite fast cannot be termed peaceful. Even suicide is termed a crime as per law of the land. A Constitution is no mere text to be bypassed; rather it is the embodiment of a collective resolve by 1.3 billion people (Indians) who honour the sacrosanct document as a guiding feature for the masses. Dismembering its provisions under the garb of protest, disregarding the government put in place for a term of 5 years or subjecting the government to unnecessary strain, push and pull or diversion of its programmes, ought to be and need be held a grave crime amounting to provoking the people and opinion against provisions embodied therein, and as such, wholly and entirely guilty of demeaning the government held together by a Constitution adopted by the nation on the 26th day of January, 1950.
Moreover, such act of authritarianism, under the garb of peaceful protest, tantamount to hampering smooth functioning and working of general public, government departments and gross obstruction of government servants from adhering to duties earmarked by government or the Constitution. These irresponsible and negligent acts by people of mean intellect drain crores of rupees (much more than what an act of corruption could do to the nation) of public money including government working days, besides making public as much irresponsible as the very hoodlums blocking the passage of dialogue, which being the sole medium of resolving issues arising out of finiteness of human lapses. In a nutshell, such highhandedness by ordinary public and citizens ought to be deemed a pestilence fit to be construed as deliberately obstructing the government functioning, constitutional adherance and hampering of smooth follow up of people’s mandate, verdict of which was given by the election commission on 16th may, 2009.
Furthermore, such overtures by people with hardly a vision to take the 1.3 billion forward tantamount to robbing the peace, rest and right of the people in power, who are expected to abide by the dictum of a government, voted in place, in consolance with a constitution adopted by the nation on 26th January, 1950.
Democracy is not a divine right handed over by the Supreme Being to a particular individual or group to wield power and influence over a government for usurping powers of the government or of the people, in the name of people’s welfare or people’s rights. In the present instance, these bunch of hard-to-yield members under Ramdev pretending to fight corruption in a country which is duly governed by an elected body of people’s representatives, is unnecessarily robbing the peace and harmony of the land and withholding the right of a people and country from abiding by the dictum of government laws, in consonance with a constitution the people adopted on 26th January, 1950.
These acts under the hood of fighting corruption only enhance people’s power to become overcorrupt or overact to attempts made at pacifying the nation on crucial issues and menaces that plague the lives or hamper the smooth running of a government in power. Flinging aspersions on government or individuals is as much as taking law in to public hands with vested interests, which cannot be condoned as a populist measure or divine ordained right to deal out justice or to cause to deal out a judgement. As for the rest, the nation does have courts for redressal of people’s grievances which is the only medium of public protest.
People like Hazare or Ramdev, with little or no education to their credit but daring to circumvent facts to belittle a government, the elected representatives or dignitaries entitled to supreme respect, ought to know that the nation has a very obscure and dubious past which does not speak well of its own people and history of old. And in this arena, he too is a party to corruption as he also descends from the Aryan tribe.
Much blunder has been committed during the early ages which cannot be repeated. It may be recollected that during the early ages when Dravidians crossed over from the Indus valley in to the northern regions for settling there, the land was an arid waste with shrubs and infertile soil. But through the sweat of their brow they eaked out a living by tilling the soil and taming cattle. Those were days when they neither had a religion to rely on, nor a government to cater to their needs. However, with firm faith in their ability to rely on nature and its produce, they kept up their bid to live and let live hordes of other people like themselves who too made a living through hard work and the sweat of their brow. Unfortunately, it did not take them long to understand that their peaceful existence could be shattered by a hostile people called Aryans who descended upon them, driving them out of their settlements.
The Dravidians had to flee the northern territories
People, like Hazare and Ramdev, who dare to assume extra-constitutional or divine powers to enforce unilateral decisions on a people or government, unbecoming of a world that has advanced up to a 21st century era and still making giant strides on all fronts must read in to their own folly of indulging in barbarity and indiscipline. These blurred minds must awaken to a new era of advanced technology and sophisticated approach.
Even terming a government or a particular functionary of governt as corrupt is wielding non-existent immunity or defying one’s own conscience. They ought to know that the present government is a directly descended entity of the Indian National Congress and its break-away groups who have collectively held aloft the ethos and rationale of a nation that was built up from the scratches of barbarity and chaos. As such, any offensive course such as the one adopted by these ignorant elements amount to misguiding the public and hampering smooth functioning of a government and the nation and therefore, guilty of a crime which attracts punitive measures to bridle their arrogance, waywardness and conspiracy against the government, the constitution and a silent people who have elected them to their respective position.
Founded on 28-12-1885, the INC or the Indian National Congress rose to be a major player in defining independence movement, which culminated with the nation achieving its objective on 15th August, 1947. Common man, whether educated or illiterate across the country, needs to accept that this organization came to be unified under one platform primarily with a view to fight colonial rule of the British Empire . Since the start of independence movement, there would have been much untoward happenings, both on the part of British who then held the administration or by the natives who were determined to fight the British for clinching independence from the foreigners. In the process, whatever the guilt or crimes committed by either side, was either censored or underestimated or even unrecorded because the primary objective of the Indian masses who held the advantage of being sons of the soil was to drive the british out by hook or by crook. There is therefore, no doubt that during the entire span of nearly 200 years, much butchery would have been carried out by either of the groups which would have been overlooked by way of sympathy for the cause of the former and the administrative duty of the latter. Accordingly, in such a state of rivalry, much of what the natives suffered were highlighted in bold whereas the evil or the agony heaped by the natives on the British were either ignored or underestimated.
While dwelling on this particular topic, a crucial fact which escapes everyone’s notice is that the British who carried out orders of the administration were either doing their duty or even if acted crude by riding rough shod over a highly invigorated mob. Much of what British did, they did so after having been driven to the wall by the natives who were more vengeful than fighting for a right. We need to remember that the British would have been more disciplined than the natives who fought in random groups to stave off any threat from British commanders. Accordingly, the acts committed by the natives were more under personal vengeance or to pay back in terms of what they would have been brainwashed by individuals and groups for attaining their ends. Ultimately, independence was achieved at the behest of a dialogue started between the natives and the British. However, the nation failed to accept the truth that the British rather than letting loose their ammunitions to wipe the population and country out, merely decided through a supremely ordained conscience vote that they must leave the country without any further bloodshed. Can Indian community accept this largeheartedness of the British? Till today this fact is yet to seep down under in to the bowls of Indians.

British were magnanimous in holding out the olive branch to finally pronounce
Where then does corruption originate? It also indicates a serious lapse within the Indian mindset which exhibits more of a selfish attitude within Indians than the show of patriotism manifested in their overall acts and deeds.
Even today, every Indian runs for money and be it through film world or through cricket, the greed for money has never satiated their less virtuous lives to abide by a dictum of their own conscience. The recent instances of match-fixing or kidnapping for extraction of money is quite relevant here. Moreover, despite the nation having sufficient hospitals and doctors, the country has no dearth of people impersonating as doctors and disbursing medicines and consultancy services to patients who flock ignorant of the hood worn by these compounders and criminals.
If a thorough check of people and individuals are made, much would come to light on the extreme corruption resorted to by every one including those crying hoarse on corruption.
After Kisan Baburao Hazare, now Ramdev has thrown his hat in the ring in an attempt to rid the nation of a menace viz. corruption. The nation, in a very special manner, needs to be reminded that the particular instinct to amass wealth by people is but an innate characteristic apparent in every individual or read every Indian. No man is ever satisfied with his share of income and it is wholly natural and characteristic of people and citizens to enhance their position by earning extra amounts through dubious means. All irrespective of any particular individual nurse an ambition to stock money and riches for future needs, looking to the increasing need of one’s family or for leading a comfortable or luxurious life, now and till the end of time. To this end, it would be natural that everyone would grab money through whatever ways or sources one can for increasing his bank balance.
Even Ramdev is no exception in this particular area of mischief. The very fact that Ramdev too is amassing wealth under the garb of medication and yoga exercises, which has not had the final say from the Almighty, whose Holy Will even today is making people succumb to the ultimate finale which is death. The nation is also not in a dearth of medical facilities and qualified doctors all across the country. Whereas, Ramdev cannot be pointed out as a better qualified doctor with operational facilities in case of demand, adept at safeguarding the health and welfare of people and nation at large. Furthermore, any little bit of relief that people assert as being on account of his yoga exercises cannot by itself be counted as meriting sole advantage due to and on behalf of Ramdev only, because he is himself a below standard person with hardly any qualification (8th standard) to his credit.
Incidentally, the nation is being pulled down its climb to self sufficiency by people of lesser education such as Hazare earlier and now Ramdev, which tendency to pitch the nation against all future prospects of a progressive rise needs to be seen as mimicking being done first by Hazare and now by Ramdev.
This man Ramdev, who claims to be an expert in the field of yoga cure for various ailments and goes about under the garb of a Hindu sage, which exhibits his meanness in focusing his body and mind to a particular religious belief or faith and as such not trustworthy by a nation and people, India being a nation of diverse people and customs. Moreover, his antecedents, his integrity, his past-present-&-future life etc etc are all shrouded in an otherwise hazy and suspicious profession not confirmed through education or research. His undertaking a fast ought therefore, be seen as overruling the stretches of a constitution the nation adopted on 26th January, 1950.
Slap a strong deterrent & criminal case against Ramdev and his coterie, including his followers for deliberate obstruction of government functioning, constitutional adherance and hampering of smooth follow up of people’s mandate, verdict of which was given by the Election Commission on 16th may, 2009.
