crab culture & indian civil society

respected all ,   post successful nationwide movement against corruption , we are coming across some very interesting developments . the corrupt india are in a state of  extreme unrest , hence they are resorting to their mean ways to make the issue so controversial that the common man should loose faith in the movement. The worst part is that some of the so called civil society groups have joined hands with these traitors of the nation and are trying their level best to designify  the issue. I name it crab culture.   this reminds me of a joke that goes like this -    once Indian crabs were shipped for western countries , packed in large containers. while the ship was on its way to destination , a high tide resulted in a jerk and lids of some of the containers opened. the caretaker reported the matter to the captain of the ship and asked if the lids be fixed again. The experienced captain said " do not worry , the crabs will not  go anywhere . these are Indian crabs . as soon as one crab shall start climbing up , the other shall pull it down . "   at this juncture of time a poem that i read in my textbook way back is also coming to my mind . there may be alterations from the original text but the sense is same -   The mountain and the squirrel Had a quarrel, And the former called the latter "Little prig." Bun replied, "You are doubtless very big; But all sorts of things and weather Must be taken in together To make up a year And a sphere. And I think it no disgrace To occupy my place. If I'm not so large as you, You are not so small as I, And not half so spry: I'll not deny you make A very pretty squirrel track. Talents differ; all is well and wisely put; If I cannot carry forests on my back, Neither can you crack a nut."   Everyone is okay in its place and should contribute constructively towards this goal of getting the lokpal for the citizens of India. No destructive approaches please.   time of  introspection for civil society members across the nation . united we stand , divided we fall . an activist should never have any ill-feeling for anyone.   means adopted may be different but destination is the same. so please help save honesty & fight corruption with an open n generous heart.   best regards urvashi   -- Urvashi Sharma RTI Helpmail( Web Based ) aishwaryaj2010@gmail.com Mobile Rti Helpline 8081898081 ( 8 A.M. to 10 P.M. )
