Media is trying to create leader

Democracy reigns supreme in India—anyone can raise one’s voice against the government and its policies. It is unbelievable that a yoga guru is leading a mass of 5000 followers and ordering them to remove the corrupt government which was hoarding black money. Last year, the same yoga guru had led a group of people to fast as a means of protest against the faulty government. The protest was stopped by the police who had “lathi” charged against the sleeping protests in the middle of the night. The media had shown it immediately to all people. The erring politicians took measures against the police who were merely following orders of the politicians. This time, the police were wary; they had arrested the leader for a little while who wanted to march into the parliament(which is in session now). But policed had immediately released him at an empty football stadium.Police had remembered last year’s events and made plans cautiously. The protesters had refused to board the buses to take them to football stadium which can accommodate them. But when rain came down pouring, they had to board the buses. Police had taken him to the football stadium where yoga guru was allowed to “fast” and “protest” along with his followers. Live TV and 24*7 media coverage have given protests big boosts. It was a day long  game of “lets fool the cops”plan and it got live TV coverage. It did not prove anything nor did it accomplish anything. People exercised their right to protest that’s all. We, in India, have a vacuum—no leader. Anyone jumps into the limelight and claims to have a cause. The masses are suffering without proper food, while surplus grains are rotting without proper storage space. Demands of electricity are immense and power companies are having a difficult time providing the metro cities with electricity. Drought situation is grim as water tables are drying up.Too much water is drawn from them and there is no way to replenish them. This is no time for playing games with cops and politicians by protesting like this. Addressing immediate needs of the nation is most important at this hour of adversities. Who is doing that?no one. Too much media attention is being given to trivial affairs.How can a yoga guru lead? At no place on Earth saints or gurus tried to change governments. Total chaos is what is being created,as no leader is found yet.
