That post about the protests was neither derogatory nor cynical in nature. Neither it shows biasness nor it is inspired by any ideology. I deliberately chose some (a few) issues to expose some basic imperfections in our society which are well known and concerns for all, still we knowingly avoid it.These protests have their roots in jingoism, segregations, hatred and callousness not only towards humankind but also for environment; above all I should say for life on the planet. And i am baffled with the thought where does lie our responsibility.
I subsequently discuss these issues in my posts. Here, I will reflect upon one touching issue. Whenever we talk about reservation and subsidies we discuss (debate) with the same hatredness as usual that have been existing since time immemorial. Our rational thinking always plays with the idea of meritocracy. One question that intrigues is what lies beneath the meritocracy. Are we able to provide level playing field to every player in the game? For a large chunk of society basic amenities like education, health, drinking water and sanitation are distant dreams in this modern and hi-tech world where distance is limited to only two digits i.e. 0 and 1.We don’t think about sharing and caring. In country like India meritocracy is blended with aristocracy. We need to eliminate the ceiling of privileges to get everyone in the mainstream.
