Everyday you hear stories of murder and violence and they do affect you badly. The latest in this line, Journalist Dey's murder leaves one speechless.
Dey has become a hero but he is not alive to relish it. The number of such heroes who died on duty is on the increase. what a meaningless pursuit of democracy if all that happens to one is being shot at the end of it. Some of these deaths are explained away as arising from the needs of the deprived and hunted people. So why can't this be erased and why can't the deaths arising from the greed for money and power be done away with. Would life be any less interesting if power games in their present magnitude were done away with. And who is it interesting for anyway? The few billionaires-many-times over who indulge in it? Won't jobs be created through creative enterprise and common welfare practices like cultivating green patches or some such endeavour? Won't research thrive if it is on less esoteric subjects?
On every count a massive rethink is needed and at every level. Who is (or who are) the person(s) going to deliver this message when every group that has a voice is only demanding more power for their own needs?
