Politician bashing has become the favourite hobby for the Indian media and the so called civil society of this country. Don't ask me, where do i belong? Being a blogger, i belong to the media and am an equally culpable member of the civil society. So this blog is more to me, than to people out there!
Today morning one of our esteemed minister from Madhya Pradesh has asked a small school kid to tie his shoe laces. Shoe Lace! What a shame? The media pounced on him; Two major parties started scrambling for the two votes which would spill out of this shameful act and the internet was filled with so much hatred for the politician from the civil activists.
Dear media, civil society and the shameful political parties, have you ever been to a city called Delhi? There are some fifty metro stations in that city and outside every station there are a small children sitting with a brush and a shoe polish to polish the shoes! The shoes of not the politicians who show it to them but every individual who passes that. Hundreds of youngsters survive in that city touching our feet. Where did you all go then?
Of course, if that minister had done this intentionally to show his superiority, kill him if that is what the law says. But please before throwing mud at others make sure they don't fall on us.
Anybody there?
