We have heard a lot about reformation, privatization, liberalization and globalization. We have also heard a lot about stable GDP growth in India despite economic slowdown elsewhere in the world. Our politicians speak without any hesitation that India is decoupled with global recession. But the fruits of reformation so much lauded by Netas are available only to handful of rich persons. Large section of population still starve and unable to earn livelihood even for survival.
Powerful Babus entrusted with duty to govern the country and administer in effective way are actually indulged in corrupt practices and it is they who bargain with local rich businessmen for their own vested interest and for the gain to be provided to kith and kin of responsible officers, politicians and babus (junior level workers) working in collusion with each other. They get direct or indirect support from local politicians and political workers or local power points. It is really very much dangerous for the country that officers sitting at top and responsible posts have been bought by rich traders or prominent manufacturers or local political heavy weights. Even armed forces in country have been inflicted with unscrupulous infiltrators or mischievous local anti national elements who extend favour to enemy countries in lieu of some monetary gain. It is pity that the victim at ground level can say nothing and is forced to digest the poison of injustice silently. There is practically none in this country to listen to genuine problems of poor and downtrodden.
Munsi Presmchand, the great Hindi writer wrote “jab rakchak he bhakchak ban jaye to binash nishchit hai”. It means when protectors become destructors , there is none on the earth who can save us.
Hitherto politicians were playing foul game while framing policy .Even during the regime of Late Indira Gandhi, it is well known to all that tax policies were decided keeping in view the benefits or losses of big business house like that of Dhir Bhai Ambani.And now also tax concessions are provided or taken back depending upon the favour a company extends to the ruling government, especially Congress government. I say Congress Party emphatically because only during Congress regime prices go up speedily and invariably. In the farthest past, prices were stable or under control under Janta party rule and also under the rule of NDA in the recent past.
If senior officers responsible for execution of government policies at ground level also start favouring rich business houses at village or town level at the cost of government exchequer and shamelessly adopt the same path as their fate maker politicians do at higher level, there is no reason to doubt the severest downfall in the economic health of the country. Natural repercussion of such nexus among Babus, Netas and the Rich is that there will be rise in crime, social disharmony and social violent turbulence. This is also because there is practically none to stop rise in graph of crime taking place. Even person sitting at powerful posts in police departments and Indians courts are more or less birds of the same feather as dirty politicians and as other corrupt civil servants are made of.
In a country where millions really starve and where a few lac of rich and affluent person live luxuriously, we cannot dream of success of any reformation policy and we cannot imagine of persistent and all pervasive development .There is no doubt that the gap between the rich and the poor will widen .It is undoubtedly correct to say that standard of living of common men is moving from bad to worst and that of rich is going up from best to the best of the best in the world. Resultant consequence of such misrule and mismanagement will be nothing but escalation in unhappiness, disturbance in low and order situation and finally erosion in social peace. Might is right will prove to be true as the time passes away. Ultimately people revolt like that of 1857 will change the structure of governance from capitalistic to socialistic.
