Farmer, Laborer: The Cursed Son

 

Farmer, Laborer: The Cursed Son

1. Cricketer: Price of one six – Millions of rupees
2. Actor: Price of one performance – Millions of rupees
3. Politicians’ Five-Year Plan: Price – Security for the next eight generations
4. Black Market Traders & Corrupt Officials: No matter what happens… they still get their two points
5. Government Officials: Serve any way you want, but benefits are still squeezed!
6. Farmers & Other Laborers: Work as hard as you can, but the reward… is like a stone!

Imagine:
If the above five “Pandavas” stop working, what will happen? Nothing special; at most some inconvenience.
But if the sixth hero “Karna” says, “I will do nothing,” what will happen?
They won’t even get food as alms, and the value of their notes will be just “pieces of paper.”

Oh democracy! Even if the above five Pandavas are royal princes, the sixth Karna – the cursed son – is the real power of society.

Amazing government! Allowing such a system is wrong.
