Social Security and Responsibility

Wen v talk of security, the first thought that comes to my mind is that “whether v ever had secured society??” reason goes back to the early post independence period... On Jan 30^th 1948, wen our mahatma was shot dead, the British stated something to the Indians who were enjoying their newly gained independence... The statement was

“Hey u Indians, u termed us as brutal, cruel, inhuman greedy souls on earth, but v succeeded in something which u cudnt... inspite of the various riots n the controversies that arose, V saved Mr. Gandhi’s life for a long period... N u ppl cudnt save his life even for a year... “

Isn’t the statement true... V cudnt save his life even for a year... It hurts badly... Our society has never been a secured one... as time goes by, the extent of insecurity has risen gradually... V haven’t paid the necessary attention to this growing weed in the society over time n suddenly v stop to wonder at this massive growth...

People mite judge that i belong to a minority by reading this blog. But isn’t the truth. Its the other way around. There is a constant increase in the working women population and this is directly proportional to the growing insecurity. When I think abt our society all that comes to my mind is the increase in murders and rape, the latest being the murder of TV journalist Sowmya. Though everyone wud blame the police force at the outset, it isn’t the duty of the police alone to safeguard the society. It is the duty of every individual. How many of us wud stop on seeing an accident r stop a thief trying to escape? All that v think is “Why the Hell shud I, wen I am not affected?” I wud tell u people - wen it strikes u; it wud strike harder...

As citizens we shud ve some social responsibility. If a majority of the Indians have a heart and b true to it, organizations like RSS and VHP wud ve been out of the window. These assholes (pardon me for the language) think they are the guardians of the country and the culture. They believe in violence and dadagiri. The followers of these organizations enter the houses of these innocent people, rape them and murder them, finally providing justification for their activities. These people shud b shot on sight. The first one on the list shud be the Thackareys. The poor nun was raped in the centre of the market and the so called responsible citizens of the society keep watching the hungama.

I had a personal experience with one of my friends, thought I don’t wanna name him. He met with an accident. He had a head injury and if any person wud ve stopped the car to help us, v cud ve saved his life. Today v stand without him. Why is this society so selfish without any concern for others? I also live in this society. I help persons in which ever small way I can. Infact many of my friends and family members do it. V read in papers that Indians lend out money and aid to the affected people in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia etc. Why don’t we do the same when it comes to our own country? I think this is reflective of our human behaviour. We try to be nice to the outside world, but to our loved and dear ones – we show our anger, our aggression and arrogance.

To put it in one straight line, “Helping hands are the requirement of the hour than praying lips”. Be alive to the society, react and respond to our country. I suppose that, one day our country wud become the best place in the entire world to live.
