Inactive Government, Hyperactive People

When Akhilesh Yadav took charge as the new CM of UP and flushed the state cabinet with rowdies and goondas, little did we know how the state of the state would turn out to be subsequently. But now, after the Baghpat region issue, where senseless laws were levied on women, there is something more from the same village that is creating turmoil across the nation.

The rules laid on the women were simply insane and awful, and what was more horrible was the way the villagers reacted to the policemen who had come to investigate the matter. The policemen had taken two panchayat members into custody, and then had to face an alarming and brutal attack from the villagers including their motorcycles being set on fire, after which the villages fled away upon freeing the arrested panchayat members.

Now, lets try to raise a few questions. Where do the terrorists and talibans come from? Even in the modern era, when the world is opening up to new horizons of development, why are there still such narrow minded people? Why do we tend to be hyperactive with irrelevant issues and completely inactive with serious issues? Why are parents afraid to give freedom to their children, or rather, why aren't the children brought up in a way where the freedom they get is not misused? Why are we not taught about the importance and sweetness of love in our schools? Why do the school and university application forms still have religion and caste columns? And above all, why are we still developing?

For all the questions above, most of us point our fingers at the government and wash down our complaints over it. We blame the government for everything. We complain, and the worst part is we are not willing to take action and clean the messed up and muddy government. Our government is anyway inactive, and it's of absolutely no use if we wait for it to take steps.

The solution lies within us; to WAKE UP and GO ACTIVE.
