A honourable (?) minister gave a call to all women to fill the pubs on valentines day, to show their opposition to ram sena. 'Pub baro' campaign it was called. But is this the real freedom of women? Am echoing a friend of mine, when I say "Do they consider themselves liberated, sitting on a couch and drinking the night away?". Well, in India priorities are always misplaced.
1. We have a band of hooligans, Ram sena, Hanuman sena, Vanar sena, and likewise, who hate westernization and the resulting deterioration in Indian culture, when they could have displayed the same vigour against corruption, bribery.
2. Our health minister targets the smokers of the nation, goes all out to fight them, when the more pressing need of the hour is Primary health care.
3. Glitzy IT firms and real estate companies, having the muscle bargain for sops and get them, when the leser known cousins like textiles dont. (Someone even asked for a bailout for Satyam)
4. Few of us support terrorist organozations (In Tamil nadu, atleast), take up their cause passionately, fight for them, create unnecessary ruckus (Am happy they were treated the way they were treated police), but comfortably ignore farm suicides.
5. The chief minister of Rajasthan is more concerned about young guys and girls, walking hand in hand than the numerous developmental issues in his state.
What else do we expect from a patisan media, with each of the channels and news papers being the mouthpiece of a political party? We certainly are a nation of misplaced priorities...
