Anarchy a disruptive tool to create political vacuum
Currently all over the world it seems RULE based order has gone for a toss and we are in for yet another disruptive phase which if not checked early may not only lead to political disruption only but shall have a devastating world order and misery to many.
Whether it is the Ukraine-Russia war, Gaza conflict,
Iran-Israel-US war, Gulf war, American attempt to maintain the hegemony,
religious divides, technological domination, resource monopolization. control
over sea lanes and or political upheavals all over the world are indications of
yet another disruptive phase in our civilizational progress. I-Me,-myself -mine has overtaken the I-we-us
and for all approach.
India though a believer of RULE based order is no exception as apart from being affected by disruptions in world
order but still managing to grow and control inflation is now domestically
facing an anarchic disruption by the no-haves, failed politicians, anti-Indian
forces, fake narratives, habitual protestors and The crumb-eaters.
Instead of positively highlighting the deficiencies to
improve system or rectify error and constructively help the progress of the
society and the nation as a whole, the ultimate objective seems to be just
remove the current dispensation with total disruption and lead the country into
a chaos else how can you explain shifting of goal posts on every issue, taking
to streets , abusing police, threatening violence for issues which are fairly
decided by the institutions and or under reforms for betterment.
Instead of following democratic principles of opposition
and democratically coming to power, these so-called game-changers
ultimately seem to be more interested in weeding out the current players and
dominate the space to rule the roost. Whether these so-called disruptive
changes bring positive and constructive values to mankind or only few is a
billion-dollar question?
From what started as disruptive methods to gain market
share, one-upmanship and lead in business now seems to have become a mindset.
Disruptive politics, disruptive technology, disruptive digitization, disruptive
viruses and the wars, disruptive narratives and disruptive ideas are resulting
in disrupted economies, livelihoods, Janata and the world at large and benefit
only to a handful privileged entities.
Is this for the progress of mankind or is it a devolution of values. Are we now just stones in the game for thrones? Guess that is the “New Normal”- change or perish, be trendy or become obsolete, disrupt or get disrupted.The problem is with mindset, as deep technology and scientific advances are as important as the spiritual thinking for the sustainable progress of mankind and sadly in the race of materialistic gains, we have lost the values of Respect, understanding and love for all in pursuit of selfish gains thus not evolving together for a better world. Need a spiritual mindset and not disruptive one to live in harmony with all and nature.
The ball is in the court of silent majority which has to
rise and stand up to these disruptive elements vociferously, negate them with value-based
approach in a systematic manner, stand firm with the democratic principles and work for a
RULE based order, need of the hour for course correction for for a better tomorrow.
