Frustrated and Furious
Sometimes we
see that the otherwise calm and peaceful people
became
furious and their behavior is totally unexpected. Within last
3-4 days,
Kolhapur witnessed such two things. The Anti-Toll
Agitation
take a hostile turn after unjustified / unnecessary lathi charge
and the agitators from Chandgad became
destructive in Collector office.
It is said that if the diagnosis is
wrong, the treatment too will be
wrong. In
the matter of Chandgad issue, the Collector had ordered to
inquire into
matter and also had ordered to impose proper force at the
events of
agitations. The logic behind it is that if the more force is employed,
we can be
safe and it will solve the issue. How it is possible? Is it a only solution
to avoid
such rage? NO. The problem is somewhere else. The administration
is running
off from the common people. It should know that the citizens are a
part of government
in democracy. In a dictatorship, decisions are made and
implemented without
considering the people. If the administration listened the
problems and forwarded it to the government,
it is enough. After all the
administration
cannot take decisions, it only can implement the decisions taken
by the
representatives of the people. In the Toll issue too, it was the inaction of
the
administration which made the situation worse. Lack of communication and
lack of interest kept the administration away from
the real condition. Moreover,
the tendency of avoiding responsibility was
shown again. Chacha Neharu had told
that conversation
is important in the private life as well as in the life of the nation to
resolve the disputes.
Appointing more force cannot save.
When revolution starts, all the mighty
forces get
swept in a whirl. And revolution always begins with the common
unrest in
the minds of the citizens. The Red Attacks are just an advanced stage of
unrest and
frustration.
