Elections are here, medearie!

India's Press Freedom Index at present is worse than Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Colombia, Zimbabwe, South Sudan and many other seemingly 'regressive' countries that will surprise the hell out you.
Although the fictitious nature of any social survey can be put to question what's important to note down here, is the progressive Indians who think industries and more jobs will change the society for good is a farce. Otherwise, boy-gangs in fancy cars wouldn't go out and eve-tease girls at night. If that's development for you, fuck you.
As a student in erstwhile Presidency College, I saw how a CPI(M) aiding daily sensitized news and changed the entire version of a teen angst-story into a political battle. We live in a society where media manipulation is at large. With the recent predicted Namo Sarkar, that's what's at stake - already dwindled freedom of free expression and speech.
You take food out of the stomach, you do that, but the resilient humans live, but you take thoughts out of their minds, suppress them into your way of thinking, that's unbearable for most, that's what creates a Nazi Germany. I understand people working in a hierarchic system who are used to licking their superiors ass and have no say in their lives whatsoever don't get it, but think for sometime before acting.
I believe that's what your education was meant for.
