This is a post about something, when we celebrate, one of the greatest freedom-fighters of India, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.
Today, I watched, the Netflix new-released flick " The White Tiger". Again something, talking about one of the real and cruel picture of our dark-sided India.
When I talk about the dark-sided, I am not bashing anything, it's just as the coin has two sided, any human being has two sided personalities, each atom is having both negatively charged and positively charged particles and so on.
The movie is shown to be based at Dhanbad, centre of coal mines in eastern India, and a rise of a poor and ambitious child, who wants a very fast growth in his life.
It is throwing some lights on things like casteism, communism too but along with that, beneath the layer of those, what reflects is actual problem like poverty unemployment, corruptions, Rich-poor disparity and exploitations.
Here I am not talking about the main character of Balram, but I am talking about the other driver, who belongs to one particular religion but disguised himself as some other religion, just to beat his unemployment and poverty.
He represents the common man struggling and diligently doing his duties amongst these elements like casteism, communism and many more, like many of us, and who is worried mostly about his livelihood and keeping his family alive and happy.
Yes, the real problems are poverty unemployment, corruptions, Rich-poor disparity and safety of common people, development, changing climate, pollution, spreading terrorism, water, infrastructure of the country which is being ignored and getting layered by unnecessary negative elements of the society.
And instead, of talking about this, we are talking about those celebrities, their views and their lives, who are already living a good and comfortable life, much above the common man struggles; about those television shows, which does not require so much of attention as, these are just a reflection of somebody's views and creativity.
We are worried and investing our resources in the security of those celebrities after creating havocs, instead of making provisions for women safety, where our country is ranked, one of the worst in the world.
I eagerly wait for the time, when our intellectuals, politicians, media and majority of our countrymen will talk about this more, may be, then we will cross the line of developed from developing, when I remember, Netaji, who also dreamt of a beautiful, peaceful and developed India.
