Burning an effigy of Gaddafi in Noonepalle













It was funny, shocking, and surprising to me when I was reading the news of Noonepalle (small village in AP) in district news section of an Online paper recently, I found a ludicrous mob led by a notorious local leader (name is not disclosed), burning the effigy of Gaddafi, to protest Gaddafi's atrocities in Libya. The irony which I think is that, whether he will able to locate Libya in world map or at least answer in which continent it lies, yet he protests. He protests because the issue is attractive and his photo might appear in the news, which he believes it as the token of popularity. In the same edition of news, it is mentioned that students in a government school are suffering because of lack of quality of afternoon meals in a free-afternoon-meal scheme provided by the government. It is also mentioned that government schools are not having adequate number of teachers, the number currently is appalling. They wont advocate an inch about these because the issues are not that appealing and he might not appear in the news. Instead of worrying about issues happening somewhere in other part of the world, if he can concentrate about problems regarding welfare of people in his locality, he might not appear in the news every time but he will, one day find a place in peoples heart.

  1. + This kind of activities of the local politicians is just to polarize the people and to divert the attention from actual problems. Some time they succeed, some time not. The reason being the "Chaltahai attitude" and "adjusting attitude" of the common man. Kab tak chalega?

    Good one Sir. Keep writing.
