PINPOINT- it's not a pen this time

Day and again I keep glancing on too many repetitive things that keep on happening in our country and even without a single inch of improvement in the desired sector, which made me think profoundly of the fact that exactly where are we heading with this headstrong attitude. Unlike every smart human being i also tried to figure out the grim nuances of the problem by hearing debates and thinking over the probable hypothesis which could lead to such fore bearing in our cultural country.
But I wasn't able to get the answer. So I tried an old trick
“When foresight gives you no idea, take the help of past”
And my musings knew no bound when I did find a little solace from the answer that i received from the problem. Let’s start for that matter of fact with the greatest of scriptures we know (for the matter of fact I won’t be an iconoclast proving wrong the traditions)- the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. There always been this Indian tradition of pin pointing everything that has come up in our way. As a matter of fact had not Draupadi pin pointed “a blind’s son is always a blind” the great distressing events of Mahabharata would have occurred. Though it did add a little bit of melodrama to the thought of it being the largest epic. Even in the Ramayana had not Kaikai been pin pointed the great fact that her soon won’t be a regal patronage the kingdom of Ayodhaya wouldn't have witnessed such dire circumstances too. One will question that even the scriptures wouldn't have been written without these events but then I must ask what actually did these events teach us. The fact that step-mothers are bad or for the fact in order to seek revenge we must cheat our cousins or bereft them of whatever they ever have had? The answer was just a simple NO. But the English lived in the communion without pin-pointing and ruled us for 200 years. Amazing isn't it!!! Stats don’t lie at times.
Looking at the debates we see on television where people are just delving their brains, accusing each other and even the public for the unrest. But what we never do is just find the real problem and implement it at the grass root level. People have to die to make a bill pass. And that’s what hurts our democracy. We will just sit at our tables read good books, drink great tasting tea and coffee and give our expert opinion on the naive behavior of the criminals. While the actual problem is left unaddressed, while us on the other hand try to understand the problem through these mass discussion. But when at one point we think with our rational brains we understand – what understanding does a son or a daughter actually needs when his father is actually shot by two assailants and police can’t catch them or the regards for a girl who has been raped by their own countrymen.
And through this article too i wish this hypocrite could just waiver people from just pin-pointing others and blaming unknown people for the things that they are never accused off (at least they will never be accused off). Just a fact that if we have problem it has to be dealt with in an urgent manner because “A stitch in time saves nine”.
