FATAL APPEASEMENT BY POLITICIANS AND ARMY CHIEF



This democracy has turned the table from ancient Darbargiri (appeasement )by the courtiers to their kings /emperors/Nawabbs /Rajaj /Maharajaj dancing openly to their tunes for their personal gains and promotion of wealth and file. The power rested in the hands of their rulers then. Now the rulers in democracy are rushing to the people, their vote banks hardly trust worthy. The decisions are bound to be influenced to the level that may lead to decay between the giver and the receiver. The Government in India is now at the receiving end. The chief Minister of U.P.Akhlesh Yadav visited the deceased rape victim house at Balia Uttar Pradesh with an offer of twenty lakhs.
Very un precedent is the visit of Army Chief Bikram Sighn to the residence of Saheed Lance Naik  Hemraj at Mathura Uttar Pradesh  on Wetness Day ,the 16th of January 2013. The novel protocol  inducted by his visit shall raise a number of core disciplinary issues .This was his  emotional  trip. Are the army men also landing in the trap of emotional trap not required at this level? His successors will not be able to practice such curtsies in the years to come .His failure to discover /invent some better alternative speaks volume of the changing patterns. This is not fair for a  healthy nation. I
I recall a student (Akhil Bhartiya Vidyarthi Prishad cadre) in a training college , demanding the principal  to condole the death of six children burnt in an incident in the state of A.P. The principal politely refused to yield for good reasons .Such incidents will continue to haunt us in some or the other ways in our day to day professional life .such pressurized gestures cannot be practiced on day to day basis. He black mailed the students who were forced by him to stage walk out. The principal did not yield. Next day ,he campaigned to get closure of the college. The students refused to follow him. He fell flat. Next time he on the eve of Independence day, he wanted to place photographs of some freedom fighters and diety Sarswati  and break coconuts before unfurling the flag (National Tricolor).The Management knelt down but the principal refused to budge an inch .The principal  refused to hoist the flag under such condition He left and thought that the community of students will boycott  the ceremony with him .It did not happen. We need to lay foundation of rarest of rare values which could be practiced for the uplift  of the  highest values. I am sorry to say both have stretched very far.
