CATCHING
THE WILD PIG
AN
ANALOGY :INDIAN DEMOCRACY

"Remove one freedom per generation. Soon you will
have no freedom left and no one would have even noticed.”
I don’t remember who said it.
May be Stalin, or Hitler—but that doesn’t matter. Read the story below:
Teacher (T):"Do you know how
to catch wild Pigs ?"
The students (S) thought it was a joke and waited. The teacher said that it was no joke at all.
Teacher continued:-
"You catch wild Pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and
putting Corn on the ground. The Wild Pigs find the Corn and begin to come every
day to eat the Free food.
When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence on one side of
the place where they are used to coming regularly.
At first, the Wild Pigs are scared, but when they get used to the fence,
they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence.
They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you
have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side.
The Pigs, which are used to the Free Corn, start to come through the
gate to eat that Free Corn again. Then you slam the gate on them and catch the
whole herd.
Suddenly, the wild Pigs have lost their freedom. They run around inside
the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the Free Corn.
They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the
woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity and they are slaughtered
thereafter."
The students said that that is exactly
happening in Indian Democracy today.
Teacher nodded.
The Governments keep pushing the people towards Socialism and keep
spreading the Free Corn out in the form of programs such as Free Rations, Free
Electricity, Tax credits, Caste Benefits, Farm subsidies, Welfare Schemes, Free
entitlements, Free medicines, while the people continually lose their freedom,
just a little bit at a time."
And we vote for the same
Government, again, and again. Two times, Three times…
This happened with WEST BENGAL, DELHI, AND started with PUNJAB. And is
still happening.
One should always remember a
simple Truth:
There is no such thing as a
Free Lunch!
If you believe in that,
someday you, or your next generation will find that the gate is shut!
Most of the problems we are
facing today, are because the people who
work for a living are now outnumbered by those who vote for a living...!
FAMILIAR...?? THINK!! ACT.
YOU CAN SAVE THE COUNTRY.
