An ode of lamentation

About the Shri Krishna Commission Report:

On one side you have a government involved in accusations of conducting communal riots hideously, as indicated through the findings of the Shri Krishna Commission Report, while on the other is a government that has failed to implement the findings of report despite their claims to do so during their term if brought in power (that promise made 5 years back still remains to be fulfilled).
And yet you ask why I don't vote!

Notes from a politically aligned defeatist

Everything is so closely linked.
On one side, you have the government, thought to be at fault in a lot of cases (take for example- communal riots), while on the other you have groups/organisations like the Naxalites, anti-governmental grps/organisations whose USP in philosophy is mending right what the govt does wrong. Yet how many times do we actually acknowledge/appreciate their agenda. We don't so much so care to even hear their agenda out. Don't get me wrong. I ain't no Naxal supporter coz here comes my next argument, if the govt is wrong & the Naxals are against the govt, but if they lead to killing of a few innocent people in the name of a just backlash against the govt, where would one go now. Anti governmentalists, leading to religious extremists or simply mass murderers, the point is simple. The greed won't ever die. Its the greed one has for religion or other luring aspects in the form of religious supremacy, money, fame, body or any form left. The problem is with the greed or the want to outdo another; form is not the matter here. So be it the government or these anti governmental organisations, the root cause of corruption is the greed they possess innately. Well there's the theory but what's the solution to it. Seems like we've all got our work cut out, but the question remains whether we are all up to it?
