Left views on Anna Hazare

The movement of Anna Hazare has been enriching day by day against corruption and for introducing Lokpal Bill.It is a peaceful movement that everybody can understand.The movement may be on the Gandhian style although millions of people have accumulated to support Anna-the great hero.He became so popular that the UPA government was bound to think otherwise and had changed their direction of attacking strategies.On the other hand , the left parties criticised Anna Hazare on his path or style of movement and opined that the act is not changed in the field.It means that the movement requires MPs who will move against the corruption in the Parliament and would force the Government to pass the Lokpal Bill but the initial movement requires the maidan and for every fundamental protest needs paths or roads or maidan to attract the force of civil society or the general mass.Any party knows it very well.The tragedy is that the left parties fear to protest against corruption or corrupted government.When and how they will get the mass support,I do not know.They have lost the governments of Kerala and West Bengal and even lost  huge seats of MP,yet they are not supporting any honest movement that Anna is fighting now.How many people will support this type of strategy on the issue of corruption is debatable and questionable.I think this is a negative attitude towards the basic feelings of the people to protest against any unethical activities of the government.The left parties should analyse this issue otherwise.

WestBengal = Pashchimbanga

Today,in the Assembly , all- party decided that the new name of West Bengal has been changed into Pashchimbanga.The Bengali name is unaltered.There are several views reported in this context.Most of them ,directly or indirectly opined that the leaders have done in their perspectives,yet , the word Pashchim is not disappeared since there is no state named Purbabanga or EastBengal. However,what will be the effects being changed the name of the state.Will it attract more funds to this state? Will it wonder the fame or heritage of the state? Will it improve the status of the state to the center? Will it inspire the human face of Bengal towards the path of development? Will this new name improve the human development of Pashchimbanga? Will it the new name be catalyst for change? Was it a really problem too? The answers may or may not be fictitious , on the contrary , it will emerge complex debates around the state.

Where we are !

We have been observing corruptions since long.Ministers were arrested.Trial is going on.Black money creates parallel economy.Everybody  agreed it whether he is a politician,or a social reformer or a citizen.Everybody is asking how to tackle this situation.Somebody agitate or someone protests.Protestors may be under the banner of a political party or may not be .What harm?They , all are saying the truth.The constitution says freedom of expression but where is the freedom.We fear about our freedom,about our identity , about our movement.We are bound  to act speechless.We should not have any opinion to highlight in this civil society.Politics are the last words and the politicians and their army will be commanding on all events and we should remain spectators.
Then whats our role? Our role is to adapt , is to negotiate , is to go hand in hand otherwise we will be abolished or will be thrown into prison.
