Somebody once told me that small businessmen in villages or towns who thought they were influential, who were once rich by their own right and arrogant because of their wealth, are fading away because now nobody cares for their wealth. I find this applies to zamindars too. I have seen once-rich-and-feared zamindars losing their teeth like old, frail tigers because nobody cares for their wealth or fears them anymore in their own villages. I have seen the poor who once worked as slaves under the zamindars, now openly defy them. This is the natural course of globalisation and commercialisation, you don't need naxalism for this. The landlords are being slowly replaced by these two factors. I wish to know your opinions on this.
“ What is the feeling when you're driving away from people, and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? It's the too huge world vaulting us, and it's goodbye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.” -- Jack Kerouac (American Poet and Novelist) From what I have seen and admired in humans, they are eternal optimists. Goodbyes seem to break us, but we straighten up and walk, holding our head high, blinking away our tears. And as regards the specks of people dispersing, when something moves away, something else comes near. Guess that's how laws of nature move. If a time comes when nothing else comes near, it's when we will become really alone; alone to live and love life without any reason, taking the next step forward.
Yes, can summarise that in one sentence- power of free market.
ReplyDeleteOur socialists politicians never seem to understand it, thats why we still don't have perfect free market. What we have is regulations, conditions, protections and licences (for them to make money). Not qualified enough to talk about naxals present agenda.
