Bhagalpur Airport: Pride & Prejudice

 

In comparison to fortune, the list of misfortune much longer for Bhagalpur, the city number 2 of #Bihar. A septuagenarian can draw a vivid picture explaining the the fate of this unfortunate town. Which was once a commissionary extended to the border of Malda, a district town of West Bengal.
However, the town enjoyed the flight facility in 1960s. After a year or two Most of the time this ancient is cheated and suffered lethargic attitude of the successive political leaders. In the year 2002-2003, an effort was made again. There was National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government at the Centre then.
There appeared an ego problem which turned the effort to ashes. The question was to curtail the surrounding residential complexes. Which could have been considered amicably. But the ego problem distorted all.
Coincidentally, the both leaders belonged to the same political party. The state leader, who represented Bhagalpur assembly constituency, held several important portfolios later. Neither development the city witnessed during his tenure.

RESERVATION : Until The Pyre


 In what sense the privilege of RESERVATION is necessary for promotion to Scheduled Caste(SC),Scheduled Tribe(ST) and Other Backward Caste(OBC).During the implementation ot the Constitution of India, the aforesaid classes were provided the facility for their development. And the period was fixed of ten years. This provision started getting extensions incessantly for the same period of time  thereafter since 1950 and is still continuing. A relevant question arises in this context: Aren’t those sections of the society able to stand on their own till now? If it is, then what is the reason behind. The conclusion simply is there might be (rather is) lacuna within the system.  Does the system still feels helpless to provide the ambience that the reservation is needed even for the promotion?
The Central Government has put the draft in this connection on the Parliament’s table. The government is also highly concerned. Some Opposition parties have also extended their support. Here the question is how it is justified. The goal of the provision is being either distorted or confusing. What has been with the RESERVATION for approximately seven decades? Its just a matter of shame that the several parties /coalition governments have fooled the republic. It has just been a means for the parties of their political melodrama. I want to mention one thing in this context; Politics is indeed a nice thing but politicizing is extremely perilous (often proved too). In the system prevailing here it is in vogue. Again, the word system comes. I want to clarify that despite being a good system the reign might be disappointing (rather despondent).Because all depend upon how it is being handled (operated) and managed. It just means that they are yet deprived of it.
On the other hand, those who are in sound position taking most of its benefits. Why such happens? Why this discrepancy exists? It is hard fact that is a huge one. There is enough diversity. The most common excuse ‘it would take time’ won’t do. Again the question appears: How long? Isn’t seven decades enough? Until 1967 there were sixteen (16) states in our country which has increased to twenty-nine(29).Once the excuse that in the case of large states, the benefits and requirement take time to reach to all. What would the government say now when number of states have been decreased in shape and size? So, the excuse appears to be quite impertinent.
Regarding this, one shouldn’t hesitate to say that the ruling class symbolizes a VULTURE.I do agree there are only two classes in the world: one is work providing and the other is working class. But why such a huge gap between the both. One earns millions a month and the other has to sleep empty-stomached. The ruling class has become more or less a puppet of the capitalists. Those who talk about the development and improve the condition of down-trodden are also not honest to their words.
The reservation is being justified by most of the political parties. The leaders are talking about the reservation in promotion. Why is it needed in promotion? Why not be decided on the basis of performances? Isn’t anyone competent to perform on his/her own? Its obviously a spoon-feed. Its evident that the reservation, which starts from the education, must be continued till the one reaches to the pyre. Obviously it is the only motive of the government(s).
Again there is a question about the system. Isn’t it competent enough to judge one’s capability and unable to provide the minimum requirement? Mr. Nitish Kumar, the Chief Minister of Bihar says in an overconfident, rather challenging mode: If the privilege for reservation in promotion is not bestowed, then it won’t be a complete social justice.
The motive of all the political leaders is not to improvise the condition of the suffering class but obviously a political gain. The one and only conclusion which can be drawn is ALL A POLITICAL GIMMIC.
The most important, rather significant, matter concerning to the public is EDUCATION. It is evident that the government institutions are shrinking/sinking whereas the private ones are thriving in abundance. The commoners are quite concerned with the indifferent attitude of the government. Most of them are deprived of the facilities for their improvement and development.  It is obvious that the non-governmental institutions would try to make their money more and more. It seems that nexus between the government and the capitalists are getting more and more intimate.
It is a hard fact that now the country’s population is above 100 millions. But this excuse doesn’t seem logical that the growing population is the big obstacle in the way of PROGRESS.
Just like a ruined parlour with a shinning façade.
