The Dream

We do redeem our hope in a cherished dream after a

long journey of desperation indeed. Yes, we dream of
bright future when present is not worth living in
constant strife and tension. It is a dream of substance.
True it is a dream to move away from present
reality that is cruel and painful. And this dream is also
a strong denouncement of what we are forced to
live with presently. One realisation is overwhelming:
humanity is faced with a reality, which is a harsh price
peoples all over are paying for believing in cheats,
robbers and double-speak of a history as saviours.
We do not dream wild. Wild targets lead the society
nowhere. Our aspirations are well within reach,
rather much earlier these could have been a bench
mark of reality. It is not necessary that humanity is
placed in perpetual cruelty and uncertainty.
One fact of social life can be forcefully underlined:
humanity was not destined to suffer as at present; it is
entirely a man made tragedy of a trap contrived to
subserve sectarian interests of cheats and bad elements, banking upon muscles of an armed state that
timidly speaks a language of saviour to the weak while
subserving the powerful and the rogue.

Before history suffered a setback nearly four hundred

years ago by falling prey to a wild promise, man was
never such beastly in conduct to his compatriots as
he can be today. So, we, the peoples of all countries,
do dream to live in peace and live with dignity, where
none would deceive others on their labour.
No one likes ever to starve for no fault of one and die
unloved and unwanted. It is a reasonable case where
honourable living in harmony with nature and
with fellow beings in communitarian setting and in a
congenial atmosphere bearing trust, sharing, cooperation, brotherhood and the right of self-management
of ones community life is fully feasible. In fact, it is a
natural right with human beings, usurped so far by
cheats and double-speaks. All round discrimination,
indignity and inequality rule that cannot be the basis
of socio-economic and political-cultural existence
in any desirable variant of democracy.
Certainly it is not the case that no one had aspired ever for bright future before. Many strived many
times to translate a better future earlier; probably
with serious limitations in their times. A few of them
were honest experiments quite illogical and wishful
withoutunderstanding nature of their enemy,
while others proved blunders of high magnitude. A
new effort has to be made after evaluating current
problems and taking due cognizance of past efforts.
At present humanity is faced with an adversary force
that is crafty, deceitful and as cruel as cunning. It has

mastered this art of trickery and using perpetual fear

through a combination of armed power combined with
sophisticated methods for blunting thinking faculty of
people to keep them in mental and physical subjugation.
Surely, no one could doubt real intentions of the leading
force when it once propounded a captivating slogan,
Equality, Liberty, Fraternity, for a change in social,
economic and political relations, which it has translated
today into a virtual machine to keep hapless majority
everywhere under heels only to keep float the interests
of corporate capital. A butcher poses to be a saviour!
For almost four hundred years, it is a rule of capital
that made human society reel under unprecedented
agony, oppression and expropriation, under constant
strife and tension, but on principles like George
Bernard Shaw spoke of such souls as he described
for Englishmen:
There is nothing so bad or so good that you will not
find Englishman doing it; but you will never find Englishman in the wrong. He does everything on principles: he fights you on patriotic principles, he robs
you on business principles; he enslaves you on imperial principles, but he bullies you on manly principles; he supports his king on loyal principles and
cuts off his kings head on republican principles.
Yes, capitalist masters do everything on principles which
British represent in classic piety of gentlemen. They
invest to provide employment to hungry, they sell

their merchandise for keeping humanity satisfied as

saviours of Christian faith, they accept incentives on
their services from public exchequer to oblige tax payers!
So do our leaders in political establishments who sell
fake dreams, a field of their specialisation. They can
sell in confidence any of their merchandise any
where to varied takers in any climate with humility
at necessity-salesmen of quality. It is a tribe that
stands groomed, rewarded and cultivated during
times of youthful performances but more in periods
of serious challenge. It is neither said on malice nor
on hearsay but a result of study.
There is no doubt that today Man stands devalued. In
his/her place, property/capital has been made a master key to all relations at the cost of social values. To
lead a life has become a burden for majority of people;
many are pushed to unethical ways for survival . Even
womb of a woman has been turned into a paying industry
and female sexuality a highly profitable value that keeps
their industrial pursuits blooming amidst general down
slide. Still masters claim bringing prosperity and bliss in
modern way of life to humanity without parallel.
Itis nobodys case that living in sin is an honourable
choice, but a tragic hole per force of this system for a
good number of people for mere survival. No other
explanation is possible of any worth to keep it living.
Now is the time to have a purposive dream! And constant
efforts made to translate it to reality of hope.
