Sad and gross injustice types of incidents are happening around the world. India is immune to this as we are bogged down with innumerable such incidents where voices are forcibly shut down. Hong Kong, ruled by China since 1997, under ‘a one country two systems governance’ that ensures democracy for the former, has seen massive protests against a new law that threatens to take away their freedom.
While we hear nothing in mainland China due to the Communist control, protests in Hong Kong are seen live. Hong Kong has had a much better quality of life due to their democratic status. By contrast, mainland China has virtually been living at the wrong end of the stick. Today, the latter are much better off, economically, however, are not as free as their Hong Kong counterparts. They would definitely want that kind of life.
Strangely, in India, a similar condition regarding J&K exists where news is clamped down in a so called Democratic country! Hong Kong protests started in March 2019. The BJP has been a strong follower of such far right organisations and one wonders if the J&K issue was one such copy. Everyone else who is not a direct stakeholder speaks ‘for’ the same but the people involved in both cases, there is more of a sadistic pleasure of ‘bringing down’ others to their kind of plight rather than magnanimity. In today’s scenario of IIOT, we still cry One Nation, one Govt!
Elsewhere in Columbia, the absolute lack of freedom and right to life prevails due to the drug mafia control of the Government. What is going on there is scary! In the Philippines, drugs and corrupt tourism industry, has taken their toll. The ruler is battling the drug lords: but using Draconian methods which go against the innocent. In Goa, it appears there is a sadistic pleasure being derived by the powers in the degradation of Goan society due to drugs which explains the kid’s gloves handling of the same! All the leaders who are quiet on this front fool themselves into thinking that the people do not see through them!
In Nigeria, Boko Haram kidnaps hundreds of school girls at a single time! There are reportedly 200000 kidnappings a year! In Delhi, in 2019, there are 19 missing children every day, i.e. 7000 a year!! Delhi Police comes under the Central Govt. In Goa, there is a sharp increase in kidnappings, which is what missing children translates to. All over India the figure is 174 per day or more than 63000 a year. The Goa Government ‘informs’ us that in migration on such large scales will only affect those locals who ‘do not want to work’! How can they even plan for 5 years is a mystery! If Delhi, the country Capital, fares so miserably on the missing kid’s front, what hope for Goa?
Gareth Bale is languishing at Real Madrid, with even lucrative transfers being blocked! Footballers have a very short active playing span and such instances take away everything! In India, the AIFF seems hell bent on stomping on traditional organisations that held up football by being over pleasing to certain favoured businessmen who see the huge profits in the sleeping Indian Football coupled with self-aggrandisement!
Today’s world belongs to the unscrupulous. The rider here is they ‘want’ to believe they are not so, but, at the same time reveling in this very trait
