Henry Louis "H. L."
Mencken one of the most influential American writers and prose stylists of the
first half of the twentieth century quoted this marvellous line “A
good politician is quite as unthinkable as an honest burglar”. Modern
India is not an exception rather it is the epicentre for such words.
Learning of oxymoron has become easy.
The best illustration is “Honest Politician”. “Honesty” is the term which is
restricted to Concise Oxford Dictionary. Jurisprudence on GOD says that, he may
share all the Assets but not any liabilities. He may take part in every profit but
not in any losses. Politicians have become God. They can acquire any assets but
they will not discharge any liabilities. They are undeniably ready for all the
profit but not any losses.
Politicians of modern days has wiped
away certain terms from their life: Accountability, Responsibility, and
Liability. Nani Palkhivala once said that greatest source of corruption in
Public life is the total immunity of Political parties from accountability. On
such fact,Democracy have become a burden rather than a boon.
Men of Modern day are trying to
cherish their liberty by perishing their Freedom. Distinction between the
former and latter, latter term is an inclusive definition. FREEDOM includes
RESPONSIBILITY while liberty does not include such good terms. Freedom is not
transferrable through a will. It cannot be inherited like a property. It shall
be available only for collective wisdom and not for the Individual Intelligence.
Exigency in India today is to
save the India. Like a Slow poison, today there resides a concept of Slow
Emergency which shall destine in the death of fading FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS. Albeit
my understanding is Daughter-in-law is slower than the Mother-in- law.
Processual Action might be slow but it is an effective dispossession of
FREEDOM. V.R.Krishna Iyer once stated that “It
is the Myopic Wisdom of one lady which paved way for the darkest hours of India”.
In the year 1993 on 24th
JUNE in TIMES OF INDIA, there was an extraordinary article of Nani Palkhivala
namely “PRIME MINISTER IN OFFICE BUT NOT IN POWER”. 20 years later, today is a
re-telecast of such words. I saw Comparative picture of a JAPANESE ROBOT and a
JAPANESE INSTRUCTOR with PM standing as the mere robotic element of Italian
instructor. The fortunate part of the JAPANESE ROBOT is that atleast it has the
instructor from its own nation.
Being a Man of law, I could not
be without appreciating the legal knowledge of Economics person. When blame flame
against a person is flowing and glowing from all the corners, he stands as per
the principle of Contract law “Mere
silence does not amount to Acceptance”.
I appeal to MEN of Paralyzed
NATION to ARISE and AWAKE. Today’s need of India is a MORAL LEADERSHIP with the
courage, intellectual integrity and a sense of values. India is also waiting
for one “Lee Kuan Yew”. http://www.lee-kuan-yew.com/
