On 24th November 2011, Mr.Harvinder Singh is a very happy man.As they say, any publicity is a good publicity-He received all the attention from media for slapping Union Agricultural Minister Mr.Sharad Pawar.I won't comment on his rationale behind the act as one may be able to justify his act at least in spirit if not in form.
What's intriguing is the fallout of the incident.Why should a common man in Pune,Mumbai or Aurangabad going home after a tiring day in office get affected by someone slapping someone else 1300 Kms away?Who has given any right to anyone to harm public or private property?Why do people gather in numbers only to attack the innocent? Is calling a Bandh after such a petty incident in an economic powerhouse like Pune justified by any stretch of imagination?
These are just few of the many questions that need be answered by ourseleves.It's no secret that, most of the times, people who gather to protest are paid puppets backed by some political party or the other.Do political parties ever intend to keep a law and order situation in control?While our GDP grows by 8%, we need to question whether we have achieved enough political and communal maturity to absorb that kind of growth.
I am really really looking forward to that day...if at all it is to come..
