Bachchans Vs Sonia Gandhi

The manner in which the government of India is officially and unofficially harassing the legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan is a very sad face of our so called great Indian democracy. (I find anything written by me on this topic as fruitless; because I fear those would neither change nor console anyone: decades of such deeds have been tolerated by our masses and the same culprits are elected back to power term after term.) Yes, I am definitely talking about Nehru/Gandhi dynasty. Any individual or family which challenges or harms the interests of this dynasty is doomed. The harassment may start from the levels of slandering (accusing AB of supporting so called mass murders in Gujarat) and reach allegedly to the limitlessness of being sent to the gallows (so many stories on the round about politicians eliminated for challenging one Mrs or Mr Gandhi – who knows how many of them are true). If there is a permanent enemy (anyone who challenges the dynasty is seen as an enemy) like one CM of Gujarat – the person would be damned for life, thanks to the sponsorships and seeding that our main stream media gets from the ruling deities (Nehru dynasty).

So many years have passed, but some Special SIT is still probing a Chief Minister who called Sonia Italian (which was no lie). On the other hand, it seems no one cared to bother if our late tainted Prime Minister (courtesy Bofors scandal) Rajiv Gandhi was probed for his role in anti-Sikh genocide. So a Narendra Modi would be ostracized and an Amitabh Bachchan would be seen as a pariah if they dared to question and criticize a party or its leaders. I wonder if this was the democracy which we opted in 1947.

Is it time we ask the despots to step down? Is it time we reclaim our democracy? I doubt – after all just a few days back Sonia Gandhi was again made chief of National Advisory Council which gave her the rank of a Cabinet Minister (and still some people say she never enjoyed power herself). This happened after the chair was removed from the Office of Profit list – especially for her to enjoy it! The sad state of our democracy is that it has been scrupulously tailor-made to serve the interests of one family and one political party. Real democracy and Amitabh Bachchan, both can wait till eternity.
