*ARE WE A RECKLESS PEOPLE?* Our democracy and unity in diversity is now greatly polarized with riots and the law and order machinery busy with conspiracies,alleged custodial deaths,riots and preventing people and political parties from violating each other! The Covid pandemic and warnings to use masks as the danger is not over, falls on deaf ears. We boast about our culture, but the present behavior does not reflect it when the people recklessly pollute everywhere and police find it hard to control traffic violations despite heavy fines being imposed. Police sem to do their duty by concentrating on fines and not basically ensuring coordination with all departments that sineages are proper and visible, potholes and footpaths maintained, people's lives saved by prevention better than cure action.On the other hand people will not follow rules and berate a cop for doing his duty.The excuse often is lack of funds. Politicians ensure their VIP status and influence is maintained, plenty of money for massive propaganda and very expensive media coverage! The government professes sub ke saath etc and it appears hell bent on doing just the opposite. Our opposition parties are high on ego and will not get their act together to provide a united strong front. We have a divided India with one section of people doing extremely well and another desperately trying to make ends meet ! Everywhere politics trumps economics. Who are we fooling?
