Welcome Anarchy:

Jan 22/2014: Inpidual freedom of human beings is truly signified by a state of complete yet considerate anarchy. In the theory of Karl Marx, the culmination of development is perceptible when the State withers away. Similarly, many yogis and philosophers of India have produced thoughts that claim human emancipation is truly possible when awakened souls have total freedom, in other words - anarchy. Modern thought produced democracy which also speaks of inpidual freedom and development and it claims that only when the entrepreneur is able to work with freedom, the society in totality develops. Fear of anarchy crept into human thought when and only when a few people wanted control over the larger mass. As if to consolidate this thought, the larger mass, educated or otherwise, started behaving recklessly. When consideration for fellow beings is absent then only anarchy turns evil. 

Today, most media and the two major so-called national parties - Congress and BJP - have labelled the dharna staged by New Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal as a step towards anarchy. Digvijay Singh of Congress has said "Na khata na bahi, jo Kejriwal kahe woh sahi". It may be true that Singh is a buffoon but this smart repartee could not have been uttered by him without clearance from the highest command centre of his party. The BJP spokesman Prakash Javadekar seems to portray that his party is running scared from the Aam Admi Party (AAP) and he is condemning the rival by claiming that Kejriwal is demeaning the spirit of 26th January and creating a state of anarchy. 

Arvind Kejriwal might be signifying that the protester of the street has now become the man in power. Braving the cold and drizzle of Delhi yesterday, thousands of AAP supporters' dharna is derailing the traditional thought process of not only the two big parties but also the run of the mill political discussions. The political parties disturbed with AAP are putting forward an argument that basically says, now that Kejriwal has become the Chief Minister, he should fall in line and govern the city state. Somehow, this line of thought does not ring correct anymore. Kejriwal may or may not have a super political strategy that he possibly could be playing out but one thing for sure is that he has upset the usual political thinkers because they are unable to fathom his goals. While on this topic, one should not forget to mention a fringe thought that claims Kejriwal could be helping Congress with his dharna by deflecting public attention from Sunanda Pushkar's suspicious death (murder?), coal block scam and most other major corruption charges that have been pushed under the rug. 

A Rahul Gandhi can easily wear a turban, point a finger and try to shout like a Modi from elevated platforms. Similarly, a corporate backed Narendra Modi can spew venom against the Gandhi family without ever having to discuss any positive steps that he plans for the nation, if ever, God forbid, he becomes the Prime Minister. All these are traditional concepts with which corporates, most of the media and almost all politicians feel completely at ease. In such a scenario of - 'You or Me, Me or You.. the nation should get the cue' - is a binary political thought which should truly be called the new conspiracy hatched to create a puppet democracy in India. The moneybags of this nation want this system to function in such a manner that this side or that, whichever comes to power should be bending over backwards to help them plunder the natural resources of India. 

When an Arvind Kejriwal has arrived, there is obvious disruption of the placid situation that most of the educated elite of India have helped create. The abhorrence towards an oppressive police force as made out by Kejriwal is a point to ponder. Even after independence, the Indian police has consistently increased its rigid attitude of being anti common citizen. No police administrators or politicians have ever, in the past 63 plus years, tried to create a new mindset within that force. Kejriwal dharna's reasons may seem flimsy. Many office goers in Central Delhi must have been terribly inconvenienced. Yet, unlike the Arab Spring, no one has been killed. Whenever a change is sought in the status quo, suffering is inevitable. We as a nation have fallen into a premeditated stupor. Kejriwal's future success, longevity in political power or the spread of AAP are not issues one should bother with. Kejriwal is an indication that Indian society should be hankering for an alternative thought process. His dharna could be a ploy or drama but the mental play that Kejriwal has unleashed is definitely the need of the hour.
