To Hell with History !



Are voters bothered whether ,


>   Alexander reached Ganga or Godavari  ?


>   Taxila was in Bihar or Bengal  ?


>   Chandragupta was a Gupta or a Gandhi  ?


>   The patriot who died in London was Shyamji Verma or Shamaprasad
      Mukherjee  ?


>    China spends on education, 3% or 30 % of its GDP  ?


In case our political leaders have failed to grasp the truth , even after 66 years of Independence , the simple answer is :


No  ! They are just not bothered  !


Voters couldn't care less for such high level intellectual pronouncements - and rebuttals - on either history or on geography  !


They are telling the politicians  :


"  To hell with history  !


   Do you have answers / solutions to our following current problems  ?


   *  My graduate son is jobless , even 3 years after graduation


   *  My daughter cannot get admission in any college in my city


   *  I have no money to buy medicines for my ailing parents


   *  I must commit suicide because my crop is destroyed without water


   *  Municipality is demolishing my hut to hand-over land to builder mafia


   *  If my 5 year old child does not beg on street , she will die of starvation



  Before we decide which party to vote for , tell us exact date by which you will solve our CURRENT problems


For God's sake , don't waste your time - and ours too - discussing , what " wrong things " long dead people did or what " right things " they failed to do  !


To hell with someone else's long-lost - and now useless -  HISTORY

 
We are only concerned with useful solutions to our own immediate FUTURE  "
