The blame-game currently at its peak with the land’s people in many vociferous circles confronting the top brass in the Governments both at the Centre as well as in the State seems to have resulted in both parties side-lining the onerous task of getting on with the agenda of the nation’s continued progress and welfare of its citizens. The game is both unique and complex, there being no rules to be complied with and no referee to oversee the proceedings and declare the winner and the loser, unless the game ends as a draw. While the nation is unarguably heading towards chaos on various fronts bearing on its economy and the society is witnessing unprecedented turmoil, hardly anybody can be found accepting the role for creating the mess. The nation’s sovereignty and safety of its territory, particularly at the borders with ill-behaving neighbours in the region, engaged 24x7 on encroaching land’s area illegitimately, seem to be in safe hands of our defence forces. But, the internally created atmosphere, far from being congenial to sustain harmonious and orderly society, is brazenly bereft of any mechanism to arrest its drift.
The underlying factors impacting the nation’s social fabric, despite the highly rated Constitution, not forgetting the amendments, are being expressed by many analysts, but only drawing from hindsight. Even at this late stage, they can wear their thinking caps and draw the road map for the nation’s people and later Governments to pro-actively work and achieve synergy in restoring the country’s past glory.
