Reader Guru Gowda left a comment on this entry I’d written about saving Bangalore. It impressed me enough that I chose to make it a separate post. Here goes:
Globalization is a two-faced coin. While it might open opportunities for some where there was none, it might also force difficult change on others. This is where the Government (which should, in a true democracy mean, we the people) need to be a watchdog and grow the reforms in a manner that benefits the masses and not just the elite few.
However, having said that and being someone from Bangalore with close family connections to people in villages in Bangalore rural district, I am a witness to the fact that the opportunities for people in these villages as well as those masses who migrate to bangalore (looking for jobs generated by IT support industries) has been a boon. It is amazing to see the very mentalality of these people completely transform when they see the opportunities and its unlimited potential, without regard for caste, color or background of these people. In a true sense, economic reform has been more effective than centuries of social reform in a society like ours.
It is easy for today’s painfully unconcerned politicians to play theatrics and stir emotions to create confusion and distract focus from what they REALLY are doing to improve the “problems” and “injustices” that they claim have been burdened on them due to the IT economy and how things would have been much better for the masses in the absense of such an industry! All of us should want to know from such politicians who have now been in power for almost two years, what they REALLY have done apart from bickering and turning Karnataka into one of the most corrupt states in the country to the extent that its become a “normal” part of life for our representatives in Vidhana Soudha and very sadly, even to us.
Kudos, Guru
