Overreactions of the public have been often identified as the major reason behind any of the controversial issues ( sometimes doing good, some other times doing no good to the society), which can be regularly found in the newspapers and 24 x 7 news channels. Weather it be the case of Ganguly's exclusion from the Indian cricket team, khooshboo's idea on premarital sex or the discussion on the length of skirt worn by Sania, everytime some self-proclaimed contractors of social justice and euphemism try to use these as the tool to make themselves alive in the memory of general masses. If you are putting various politicians in this category, then you are pretty close to whom I am actually referring to.
An incident, which can be irrelevant to everybody except those who are directly involved; is being blown out of proportion. You must have witnessed the various interpretations made by some media geeks regarding the mute discussion between Dravid and Ganguly just before the start of the first test match in Lahore. Everybody is having their own opinions about everything which they see, observe or feel. If people are expressing it, sometimes this is categorized in the overreaction category as in the case of Ganguly's exclusion and Swami
Ramdev's episode as well.
Living in a democracy should be accompanied by these type of public awareness. People should express their feelings for the proper functioning of democracy. Sometimes it doesn't seem rational but slowly it will make the leaders more responsible to the people. Mind you, I am not advocating the cases like Khoosboo's. Also the public should not be prejudiced to anything like religion , caste or any political interest, while expressing their anger.
Most of the politicians are using the public emotions, feeling to fulfill their own dreams. First they create situations, controversies and then they are faking their philanthropic interests. So do express your feeling, but with a caution. Sometimes you will be heard, sometimes you will not. But keep on expressing your feelings, suggestions, ideas. And why not, after-all we are the one who are ultimately get affected by all these happenings around us. Shakespeare wrote in one of his plays,
If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?
In similar fashion, if we feel something, should we not express it. But while doing so, always be in the limits associated with the fundamental right of speech and information, as per our great constitution.
