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.
I miss the complexity of the book and am tired of the predictability of people. Reading each page of a book takes you to a different realm, and often surprises you with its observations. I agree books are written by people, but why do people remain predictable in life and unpredictable in fiction?
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.
