... And now the "Vedic" vandalism

History has evidenced. So did we. Long terms of repression by the dominating side has created some of the biggest turmoils in the history of civilization. And a small instance has again cropped up.
Parts of Bengal have started their protest march against the 33 year old regime , thus bringing in the winds of change. The stagnancy needed to be stirred and 2008-09 has already started moving down the pages of History. The huge uproar of “onicchuk chashi” followed by downswing in elections and proceeding to the Maoist protests have shaken the ground beneath the ruling government. And such is the huge impact, the left front seems to break down like a house of cards!!! With none of the injuries seeming to heal up ,another sudden impact slashes down its roots in a quick succession!!!! The latest that adds up : the scathe at the Vedic Village!!!!

My father practices at a Nursing Home in Baguiati and he has his several patients lining up from the areas where Vedic Village stands. The patients used to discuss the worsening of situations in livelihood as their lands were forcibly occupied for the development of this establishment. I hear my father citing an example of a farmer…” on one fine morning ,some promoters came up to his house and asked for the land in exchange of subscribed monetary …and after the deal was set… on that very midnight, the promoters made a comeback armed up to demand back the money from the farmer. The next day the farmer is landless without a single penny!!!! “…..

Just the story of a single individual… this kind of harassment and repression were carried by the promoters with the help of the ruling party over several lives to acquire the land for Vedic Village and take home the profits!!!! … The evil spirit of domination has acquired such a position that a defeat in a football match created in a fierce shootout!!!
Innocent lives lost, injured in this sudden outburst!!!

Just a perfect stage set up for the villagers to charge up and their wrath took the televisions by storm!!!! The seeds of suffering had been long sown by the promoters with the help of ruling party and after the sudden firing , the affected had no reason to stand back ; they retaliated..and retaliated hard to bring down the posh Vedic Village into ashes!!!

Nothing surprising!!! Maybe disturbing at the first look..but understandable with the second. How long can you pose like Gandhiji’s three monkeys and sit ??? As I mentioned before , its just History is on its repeat mode. Curbing of democratic rights followed by decentralization has to end somewhere. It is time for Bengal to witness it.

Yesterday , a patient has turned up at my father’s clinical den… he was shot at one of his legs yesterday during the football match. Well, I’m praying that he gets well very soon and immediately join the bandwagon..!!!! For the good, of course..!!!
