Number of bullet proof cars
you are entitled to, number
of pilot cars that proceed and succeed
you, number of commandoes
that surround you,
number and kind of weapons they
are entitled to, the uniform they
don, and the badges their uniforms sport.
Since
politicians are always running for office to running for cover, approximate
status is measured by proximate security.
If
you can swing a personal gunman
who follows you like a shadow, it is public acknowledgement that
you wield a significant amount
of clout in circles that
matters. If you can ensure a whole battalion
of commandos to clutch at heir AK-47s and
protect you, you’re parents, your wife, your children, their children, and your
pet, not just for a day but for a ten years
span. It means that you
belong to that exclusive club of people who do
nothing for a living but cost the
country half its treasury receipt
to keep them doing whatever they are doing.
Prediction
is that in future there will be only two types of individuals will be left in
Delhi. The protectors and the protected. Everyone else will be crushed to death under the
wheels of a speeding VVIP car, gunned
down by a sharpshooter for stepping
of line as a VVIP passes by
or sentenced to hard labor for
daring to presume that they have the same
right to a public road as ministerial
cavalcade.
Democracy
is a system by which you do a great deal of mathematics and then conclude that
you need those minority votes to remain in power. You must have at least one muslim, one schedule cast and a couple of
women in the party for right representative flavor. Muslim for secular credentials,, a dalit for
anti-sectarian appeal and two women for progressive image.
To
be an SM or Sarkari Musalman, requires unfathomable depths
of hypocrisy and a raw
courage especially if the party
one represents has come
to power by whipping up
multifarious election, friendly hatreds against multifarious minority groups.
No
political party can survive by opposing justice for women
