The newspaper has become almost a part of me and not a day goes without giving at least a glance to it. Just like everyday, I picked up the newspaper in the morning and was indeed shocked to read its headlines. “We’ll ban English, computers: SP” was what caught my attention and made me rub my eyes to see if I was dreaming. But much to my surprise, this wasn’t a dream. The statement made headlines all over and Mulayam Singh was showcased releasing his party’s manifesto in the Times of India.
It’s already 2009, and making such silly statements in public makes me wonder – are we heading towards development or are we pushing ourselves backwards? Banning English language and computers shows how narrow minded one can be. I was taken aback after reading the fact that Mulayam Singh’s sons have passed out of English public schools. This is nothing but cheap hypocrisy and in this hypocritical world the common man falls in the trap of cheap politics. What is Mr. Mulayam Singh trying to prove after all? Computers are invented for the betterment of our society. English is the language that dominates all around the world. Does he want Indians and India to be called a never-developing country? International relations build only when we have something in common. Communication is the solution of most problems. Does he want Indians to sit dumb-headed at global meetings? The advent of computers has not cut jobs, but has made jobs better.
Samajwadi Party leaders very well knew that this will be the reaction once the statement hits headlines. Very smartly the party leaders are now putting it all on the media. Sanjay Dutt also blamed the media by saying; it had “twisted words”. My question to all those blaming the media is, when you know are so sure of the media twisting words, why can’t you be careful with it? Samajwadi Party’s such statements have triggered a sense of doubt in the party itself. If such a party comes into power, India’s future is sure to get hampered.
These days, one thing has become very easy. Whatever happens, play the blame game and free yourself from true-untrue allegations.
