Mayawathi has achieved her ascendancy in UP because of the dissilusionment of the masses with all the previous governments - they have promised much more than they have been able to deliver and the electorate comprising all castes has decided to ditch them if only to teach them a lesson ! The really poor and the dispossesed have been treated shabbily by those in power - you have only to read SHANTARAM by Gregory David Roberts to know how some of the thakurs brutalised the socalled Dalits . India is cursed by its citizens being preoccupied with it.Will God ever bless a country where some of His children look down on His other children ? Touching on a completely different subject -why are the popular film stars allowed to hog almost all the advertisements ? It appears as if the advertising agencies are devoid of any originality of ideas to promote their products.The subsequent amassing of wealth by film stars only perpetuates and increases the disparity between the very rich and the very poor in India.This must definitely lead to frustration among the dispossessed - one of the reasons why the so called Maoists are swelling their ranks by garnering the support of the locals.Many would not want to accept this view but just see what happened in Nepal - the GOI was surprised by this turn of events but a similar scenario is developing in India - there are none so blind as those who will not see ! Will the advertising agencies read this message and take note ?
