3 - Why This Kolaveri Di?

Have you ever wondered that the Tsunami of youth participated in the freedom fight of India where it is disappeared in the independent India? Where is the Josh? In fact, we need equally strong and determined youth power now in India to lead it in a right socio-political-economical direction.

Does freedom just mean that liberty from social and national responsibility? Or it is confined to I, Me and Myself? Or it is an unwritten agreement between me and every other person that “I don’t ask you and you don’t ask me?”

The major fraction of the youth of this country is put to struggle hard to get their day dreams to reality. There vision is restricted to Roti-Kapada-Makan (Bread-Cloth and Shelter). It can be observed that during any period of independent Indian history, people were put at least an arm away from adequacy of their basic needs. So, people were never given a possibility to look out of their routine. Even if they find some time, it is to feel nervous and have pessimistic view about everything around (Chalata hai attitude...).

There are three sleeping pills served to Indians (especially Indian Youth) either you agree or not.

 
The one is, Dirty Picture - Silver screen and Home screen (Films/TV) up to a certain extent (clean entertainment) are good. But, now they are feeding absurdity into the society. See the language, vulgarity, violence they are injecting into the young minds. There were days when people had very less opportunities to grow and choose their passion as profession. But, now 4 year old to 40 year old have got access but, it is snatching the child’s childhood, teenagers’ life.

Many times we say today’s kids attain maturity so early. Today’s youth do not fear anything. Films are showing whatever nuisance and violence they want to show till the climax. In the climax something they demonstrate that the evil doesn’t yield anything or it is bad. And then they say their movie has a massage. Do you call this a message? TV serials are axing the very base of Indian family system. It is emotionally d-energizing / weakening every one. It’s creating walls between hearts till suffocation drags us to grave yard.

Today, anything and everything is accepted in the name of modernization. Beep and blur are the only statutory controls over these social howl. People are so busy with life that nobody has even a voice against it. Talking against it is considered as socially backward. And our newer generation is breathing in such careless and self centric world. It is washing out all our values which are time and again from centuries proved right and good for social balance.

I know, people who are reading this might be cursing me saying "what you have to do for this? If you don't want to watch them all then don't. But, don't give Gyaan".

The second one is Dirty Politics, a value less and no service mindedness in politics is infusing negativity in the minds of our youth. Corruption and Political dadagiri, endless desires, carelessness in the people ruling and public servants is increasing the nervousness and hopelessness in the youth. People don't want to get into politics rather want to find their way somewhere out. That is why youngsters want to go to foreign countries and settle there and lead a peaceful Life. The leaders of any nation who do not have value for their values, and lacks a vision, that nation have no future.

Last one is Dirty Play (Cricket). Till it is sports/game it is well and good. But, it is silently killing the time and health. It stubborn youth emotionally. It is not only stops here; rather it stops people considering other games as secondary. To Indians if there is a sports then it should be cricket, hardly people, society accept any other sports.

There is one more dose which is Media. Only media keeps all these 3 in limelight. Don't, take media so serious. Media is no more reporting. It is a sensation creator. For them reporting any news which is more than 30 minutes old is like rotten reproofing. If everyone is happy in the country, city then they won't be happy. They won't feel good. 95% of media is negative. Make your choice, limit and don't let yourself flow with it. If possible boycott.

All of us are put to sleep by one or the other dose at different stages of our Life. In this situation, we have to make conscious effort to get access out of these and take at least a tiny stand for the betterment of our social condition. 

Why This...., Why This...., Why This Kolaveri Di?
