You can not "roll-back" History

Some elected leaders out perform "support for the common man"routine. For instance, removing the rail minister who had proposed a small hike in freight rates is too much. Agreed, that the needs of the poor should be kept in mind, but sacking a minister for making a sound policy is not correct.The hike was "rolled back" so that the "common man" can travel easily in a lower fare.This may not be good.We should enable the ordinary average Indian to pay for the new rail fare by giving him good wages and an enhanced way of life.

There is news today that the school text books for class 11 and 12 will not have any chapters on Marx and Engels or on Russian revolution. In a state that was ruled by communist party for so many years, and which has now voted out communist party, the students should know that communism had once ruled. The new elected leader perhaps feels that by erasing it from history books,all will forget history. Actually this move would mean control of thoughts, its like re-inventing new form of communist ideology.
There are other methods to deal with poverty, and the needs of the poor.Always hammering on "common man" syndrome would not work. How  to implement successfully the policies for erasing poverty is more important.The ordinary citizen should be enabled to travel paying the new fares.His standard of living must be raised.

Communistic ideology cannot find a solution to problems in India.It cannot bring equality in India. We have a long history of institutionalised inequality which cannot easily be erased. Western ideologies imply that all men are created equal. Our religion has taught that all men are created unequal and there are innate differences among men. We have to evolve new ideology to deal with our problems. Policies will have to be adopted for the uplifting of the backward castes and tribes. Good educational systems will erase,in due course of time, various  inequalities.Controlling thinking by banning books or erasing chapters will not work. We cannot "stop, re-wind and erase" history or "control undo" history. And a "roll back" in history(education is healthy) is preposterous, is this a free India?
