A Zoological Survey

[color-box color=yellow] NOT A TONGUE-IN-CHEEK SATIRE THUS BUT A MOST SOBER EYE-OPENER SUBMISSION , TO BE UNDERSTOOD BY THOSE WHO CANNOT REACH OUT AND ALL WHO CRAVE FOR REAL FREEDOM FROM EVIL by Pamarty Venkataramana [/color-box]

kjGive the dog his bones.  A cat her carcass. Parrot loves the guava fruit while snake relishes milk. Goat eats leaves and the cow eats grass. Tiger loves the meat even as jackal eats the left over flesh . Rodents love to eat insects even as the donkey eats paper with relish.

Voters love the notes just as no political contestant hates hogging the limelight, catching all attention and capturing a majority of these voters’ imagination of getting succour instead of being taken for a ride, season after season of elections!

Is it animal behaviour or would it be human instinct which is responsible for the irresponsible acts of both candidate and voter, alike during election time?

All niceties and promises listed in election manifestos appear to go for a toss soon after being elected to power over the entire society or even a segment of the nation. Distance does lead enchantment to the view but familiarity breeds awareness too. And yet, why do the naive ,innocent citizens get carried away by machinations of evil and get brain washed, losing patronage of goodness and in turn siding with the foul play of wicked characters that abound ,at every turn and twist of life?

Humanity is dead. Long live mankind !

All hope is not lost, yet! Fair play, good conscience and principles of natural justice still circulate in the air filled with polluted mind sets, lazy bones and devilish impairment of right-thinking. So, shall the vacillating minds settle the inner turmoil, silent battles and seek to restore sense of dignity by edging out faulty thoughts. The impostors of inner democracy would be exposed and when earth quakes, the skeletons of sinful evil-doers shall come tumbling out of the closets in designer-made homes. All leading to a loud gasp, of consternation and asphyxiated souls screaming for a release from the bondage of evil who diverted these less strong persons from treading a oath of peace, progress and righteousness.

Vote right. Think clear. Elect to win the cumulative battle against corruption, nepotism and parochial tendencies .

Our society is not an animal farm. And, yet it is but just an anthropologist ‘s delight. Betrayals by the dozen; shaky alliances and coalitions of convenience have for long weakened the moral fibre of the Constitution. Hence and therefore, it becomes the need of the hour for all good to stay calm, muster the courage to vote out evil forces and join in the victory parade, very soon.

Stay confident. Elect right. The food-chain does not justify domestic animals turning into wild creatures, or vice-versa. All education and erudition of thought will come to nought if  ‘settling scores’ alone becomes the game-plan. Be awakened, restore real democracy. Vote right for righteous candidates: do not be misled by mischievous characters that are less endowed with goodness, wisdom or good faith.

India can ill-afford an immature, hotchpotch coalition ‘front’ at this juncture of world economy. Business folk who tamper with records to bail themselves out of prison for defaulting on accrued bank loan defaults must become an extinct tribe. We need more of honest entrepreneurs who mean to carry on real business with ethical sense of management and only then can really useful productive works in our society be carried out – for ultimate good of all people. Gross national income, per capita income, real value of Indian rupee around the globe and happiness quotient of leading a wealthy lifestyle are key factors to be borne in mind before pressing the button on the electronic voting machine. Big fish eating small fish trend must disappear with the NaMo-tsunami hitting the mainland post of governance in our country!

A zoological survey reveals that the voter is a domestic animal whereas the contesting candidates at the ongoing general elections belong to category of wild beats ,out to bore the gullible to death in style of a boar or a man-eater.

Long live democracy; the monarch has arrived, to dislodge an uncrowned empress who failed to live up to her vows!

Humanity be restored. Man is no animal if cultured with aid of an evolved mind set on becoming a civilised being. Money, as the saying goes is as transitory and impermanent as life itself is. In the interregnum of life and death, let mankind come alive. Give a life to goodness, sincerity and good faith !

Vote with a good conscience . Brutality is as beastly as the monsters that thrive by it : it will boomerang . So, beware evil !

Moral?

Rise up to put your foot down. Say no to evil machinations. Restore self-esteem and the strength of character which alone enabled freedom from yoke of slavery. All that transpired be it physical torture or fiscal hardships was as real and do not allow a repute on of the dark ages by succumbing to sweet nothings from the evil ones, again.

Freedom does not visit the meek often . Elect to win ; not to lose the advantages gained in being isolated from demons of the past. This is a struggle for existence ; not just freedom from slavery!

Jai hind!

  2. It’s already high time to realize what’s in the store for all of us….Excellent Article…Thank You…. 🙂

    1. Humane streak present on every beast ought to inspire all human beings from falling prey to beastly machinations of monstrous ones mingling among mankind. Jai hind!

  3. The voting system in India, is not at all taken as system even by well-educated citizens. Most of the people, just look at the person who is representing the party (if he is known or not), which is sometimes, fair also, as its the leader at local level, who is going to work for that area. But, this approach harms the scenario at larger level. In my views, there should be an awareness, about the whole election process. A system by which, citizens, should read and understand (in case of inability to read, listen to) the manifestos (an independent body might be created for this task) and on that basis, the votes should be cast. In this way, The voter will not be atleast a “domestic innocent animal”, but, an awakened citizen, and then, no question of existence of any beast. Due to our carelessness only, people make use of you!

    1. The solution lies deeper than ‘you’ among the ‘us’ of society. Transformation in thought process, practices of governance and individual character are pre-requisites of the desired change. Hence, let policy makers usher in an uniform civil code ASAP. Best.

  4. Cartoonist deserves all praise for deriving his/her substance from the essay . Cheers. All goes in the season of election campaigning? PVR
