The Rebel Indian

रोज अखबार उठाकर देखता हूँ। दो खबरें सामने आती हैं - कोई नया जादूगर और कोई नया साधु पैदा हो गया है। उसका विज्ञापन छपता है। जादूगर आँखों पर पट्टी बाँधकर स्कूटर चलाता है और 'गरीबी हटाओ' वाली जनता कामधाम छोड़कर, तीन-चार घंटे आँखों पर पट्टी बाँधे जादू्गर को देखती हजारों की संख्या में सड़क के दोनों तरफ खड़ी रहती है। ये छोटे जादूगर हैं। इस देश में बड़े बड़े जादूगर हैं, जो छब्बीस सालों से आँखों पर पट्टी बाँधे हैं। जब वे देखते हैं कि जनता अकुला रही है और कुछ करने पर उतारू है, तो वे फौरन जादू का खेल दिखाने लगते हैं। जनता देखती है, ताली पीटती है। मैं पूछता हूँ - जादूगर साहब, आँखों पर पट्टी बाँधे राजनैतिक स्कूटर पर किधर जा रहे हो? किस दिशा को जा रहे हो - समाजवाद? खुशहाली? गरीबी हटाओ? कौन सा गंतव्य है? वे कहते हैं - गंतव्य से क्या मतलब? जनता आँखों पर पट्टी बाँधे जादूगर का खेल देखना चाहती है। हम दिखा रहे हैं। जनता को और क्या चाहिए?

Cal Sagan, Great Sage of Science-

The gears of poverty, ignorance, hopelessness, and low self-esteem mesh to create a kind of perpetual failure machine that grinds down dreams from generation to generation. We all bear the cost of keeping it running. Illiteracy is its linchpin… literacy is the path from slavery to freedom. There are many kinds of slavery and many kinds of freedom. But reading is still the path.

Frederick Douglass in 1867: “We ought to have our government so shaped that even when in the hands of a bad man we shall be safe.”

"when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.” Carl Sagan

In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and nothing was true… The totalitarian mass leaders based their propaganda on the correct psychological assumption that, under such conditions, one could make people believe the most fantastic statements one day, and trust that if the next day they were given irrefutable proof of their falsehood, they would take refuge in cynicism; instead of deserting the leaders who had lied to them, they would protest that they had known all along that the statement was a lie and would admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness. H Arendt
