Talk to the "Shareef Aadmi" before....


When a common man wants to live peacefully, this society, the government machinery and various other civic agencies won't allow him to do so.
For eg - A law abiding citizen has some problem and he wants to complain, the police won't listen. The cops will try and threaten him. The city municipal corporation won't provide him proper roads and other basic amenities. If he has to deal with some government agency, he has to pay bribes otherwise he will keep waiting and suffering. Local netas (actually they are local goons in most of the cases) wont listen and act.

In nut shell, nobody wants to listen to a "Shareef aadmi'.

This same common man will get frustrated some day, will pick up AK 47 and start firing. His first aim will be to finish off all those who never wanted to listen to him - The cops, the govt officers and the netas.

Now, the entire government machinery will tell him that he should come across the table and talk. Violence won't help. (Chidambaram wanted to talk to Naxals)

When he wanted to talk to you and was standing in your office, you hardly had time. Now, that he has gone the violent way, you will talk. Does that mean that if a common man wants government to listen to him, he should pick up arms and start firing ?

Our society has a few million people who are millionaires or billionaires and enjoy power too. There are another 25/30 Cr people who belong to the so called middle class, there are 40/45 Cr poor people and another 40 Cr who are below poverty line(Numbers may not be accurate). These 70/80 Cr people who are struggling for basics are most susceptible to picking up arms and going the violent way.

Can we even imagine what will happen if even half of them choose to do so? No army, no police can control them.

Why do we not respect the fact that these people are willing to work for low wages and live peacefully so that the society runs smoothly.
Why do the authorities not talk to them and sort out their basic problems - Water, electricity, roads, sewer ?

Talk to the "Shareef Aadmi" before he becomes a terrorist.
