LAND ISSUES - GOVT OFF THE PEOPLE

As all tales begin, once upon a time, there were two monkeys quarrelling over a bunch of banana. Unable to divide the banana among the two of them, they decided to call on a fox, who was asked to fork out equally. However, the fox as sly as he was, had a better plan. The fox balanced the scales and weighed them in such a way that, a side was heavier. Then he took a big bite in a way, the other outweighed it. Thus, the fox, continued in the same way till all of it was completely ravished leaving the monkeys with nothing. Thanks Grandpa for the tale. Land issues? THIS IS WHAT’S HAPPENING IN NAGALAND.  

What do we, the people do? The recent anonymous definition of Democracy just seems so apt for our present government. As it reads, ‘Democracy is defined as the government off the people, force the people and buy the people.’  

Any decision taken by the government on land issues, I’d say has this logical reason behind. That, they take decisions narcissistically. That brings us to thinking as to, why the government is so keen working on their selfish cravings when it should be shouldering responsibilities and administering them justifiably. Is the government seriously aberrant or just greedy?  How long will you be after us?  

Respected Bureaucrats, are you not educated enough to stand up against corruption? Or are the suffixes of your names mere last names? Educated people run after money. So, who is to reprimand our incompetent government?  Please have mercy on us, your people.  

You bribe us, we do not shout. You shout at us, we lower our heads. You come late to office comfortably, we wait patiently. You squander our money over your kids, we sweat for money.  For all that, can’t you at least deliver justice?  

Why be the fox? Why be egomaniac? It’s time you look after us. You’ve had enough. We ask for nothing but JUSTICE!
