Not Alone
Not Alone.
Let me start by congratulating youth4equality for organizing such a successful rally at Ram lila Ground on 27th. I too, like so many other non-students who thronged the place, extend my heartiest support and wish you good luck.
I find it necessary to mention few things, which cannot be ignored by any one.
1.First and foremost is the support this movement has generated and received from various walks of our educated society. This is amply evident from the participation of middle class, who has been blamed by all about being self centered and isolated from issues concerning the masses. Therefore neglected by all political parties and treated by them as dispensable. Unlike political rallies organized by political parties, who do all they can to mobilize the people by dubious means like hiring buses, offering money or by simply providing them a chance to see Delhi? All those non-students present there, were there because………………………
A)
They understand and believe that this issue is very important and concern of national importance.
B)
They reached there because they know that remaining aloof will certainly spell doom for them, forever, in particular and the nation in general.
C)
They know that if they do not wake up and be counted, then the coming generations will not forgive them forever.
2. Second thing, which I observed is equally important and that is the commitment of people and their resolve to fight it out, once for all.
3.I personally do not agree with any one who disputes the support generated and often parroted by politicians as”MUTHI BHAR LOG” there. Simply because………………
- The people present there had come on their own. Unlike the crowd brought to the political rallies by their agents or small time politicians with the sole purpose to impress the boss and derive favors.
- Second, as stated earlier the commitment of those present and their belief in the cause is more important and can only be disputed by, dime a dozen politicians at their own peril.
4.In the light of SC’s instruction to end the strike all that I can say is “AT TIMES WE HAVE TO RETREAT TO WIN”.
I strongly feel that even if Doctors call off the strike the momentum this agitation has gained, thus far, will not be lost. For the simple reason that like yours truly there are many many more who shall keep the movement going one way or other.
I WISH TO CONVEY YOU THAT YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
