To Hell with
History !
Are voters bothered whether ,
> Alexander reached Ganga or
Godavari ?
> Taxila was in Bihar or Bengal ?
> Chandragupta was a Gupta or a
Gandhi ?
> The patriot who died in London was
Shyamji Verma or Shamaprasad
Mukherjee ?
> China spends on education, 3% or
30 % of its GDP ?
In case our political leaders have failed to grasp the
truth , even after 66 years of Independence , the simple answer is :
No ! They are just not bothered !
Voters couldn't care less for such high level
intellectual pronouncements - and rebuttals - on either history or on
geography !
They are telling the politicians :
" To hell with history !
Do you have answers / solutions to our following
current problems ?
* My graduate son is jobless , even
3 years after graduation
* My daughter cannot get admission
in any college in my city
* I have no money to buy medicines
for my ailing parents
* I must commit suicide because my
crop is destroyed without water
* Municipality is demolishing my hut
to hand-over land to builder mafia
* If my 5 year old child does not
beg on street , she will die of starvation
Before we decide which party to vote for , tell
us exact date by which you will solve our CURRENT problems
For God's sake , don't waste your time - and ours too -
discussing , what " wrong things " long dead people did or what
" right things " they failed to do !
To hell with someone else's long-lost - and now useless
- HISTORY
We are only concerned with useful solutions to our own
immediate FUTURE "
