Silent Election going on 2

Election is on the last phase,temper is rising day by day.At the same time temperature rises like a hell.
The success of Voting lies here,in one way you are not allowing voting due to  tremendous heat  in other way you are fabricating a design of democracy,with minimum mandate.
Perhaps BJP will win the race this time. Netaji speaks more softer,consummate,in measured voice with
determination of changing the face of India.
What change they will do,showing colored balloons of dreams?As if they will change everything,as if no more people have to die in hunger,no more communal hatred,only goal will be development.And here lies the fear, people could understand what is called 'development'.
Development and Democracy are two golden bowl which will share and pass among only within billionaires,not with the middle class nor with that footpath dwellers or those laborers who left their villages for more earning and forget agriculture.Now these voter have to buy everything for his living.He could not have that money of dreaming car,a good accommodation,a proper sanitation,even a glass of clean drinking water for that he need to have a big amount of money.There will be no chance to get enough money for living for them.But a billionaire or millionaire have every chance to promote himself,so they have definitely interest in 'democracy' as well as 'development'. We were observing  development for the last 10 years.What did we get out of it?Nothing absolutely nothing.Rather our future are in danger,environmentally,economically.

The receding underground water,swelling oceans creating so many natural calamities,perhaps US is worst effected.Everyone can estimates the speed of tornadoes increasing day by day.This are all due to development.Actually we really don't care,know and understand that  development does not mean big buildings and roads only.Development mean a complete peace, a confident bright citizen,who never feel ashamed to be an agriculturist,because agriculture is one and only industry which could help to stay alive.But now in India and in world agriculture is most neglected,that will create havoc within few years,we already know food shortage started affected African countries,India is also  already a worst affected country.
But numbers of Billionaires increasing day by day.All this development are due to sacrificing of this Voters of India who are knowingly and unknowing become slaves of rich people,nothing will change merely with their single Vote.The cycle of mockery of democracy is really frustrating. 

Leaders of political parties have hardly any time to discuss or argument on this grave situations,they have vision but they kept this vision secret within and  showing something bright,colorful,non-existent utopian development. We know,understand but we are helpless to do anything.

I am adding some of the snaps of Indian Voters.Who really don't know who is our Prime Minister,Or what is
Human Development Index.
Happy shuttering.

Silent,Election going on.

                           

Again election has come in India,with pomp and show.
Perhaps the biggest fanfare in the world.
Who exactly knows how many crores and billions will spend for the peoples "Election"?
But that much confirmed that who else will come in power could change nothing.

Each and every party publishing their manifestos.I have every doubt that manifestos are written after
consultation or discussion rather there is every possibilities of hiring 'Ad mans' for their copy writing.
May have chance that agency using those copy-writer who are just recruited.This is the right time to
practice copy writing.In real sense party manifestos hardly reflects any peoples concerns.The true design of
democracy already understood by the citizens of India.

Election give so many jobs to so many people I really admire those parties who at-least show their power of expenditure.Say fastoon,placard makers,banner maker,all they get sufficient profit for their next business venture from a election.You can not say that this election can do nothing.

 
What about people of India? The true Indians who are  living below poverty?Who cares whether they spending 30 rupees or 20 rupees a day?Everyone judging or comparing life styles of urban people,who bother to think of rural people ?

Who bothers scams?Who bothers mud throwing?Personal De-masking as campaigning.
People are starving,their hardship for sustenance push them at the corner,where they will go?
These days people hardly get news of Farmers suicide,hot topics of the News Papers are 'rape' now.
Are anybody willing to understand why sudden this factor rises?Why so many incident of atrocities rises over the women?This proves the clear indication of social unrest.Women are the most soft and weak target,people really don't understand the cause of their deteriorating financial health,their  dreams are shattered,their hardship do not show any light of hope.Low calorie intake make them frail and sick.Anger is continuously brewing inside but they really don't understand where to burst,they found only women where they could atleast satisfy their physical might,their deeming valor of fighting.What a tragic situation. The social disparity make their position worse than slaves.All their money systematically pick pocketed by the unseen system or a conglomerate of rulers,business houses.So poverty is really a great need for the election or for permanent settlement of the parties who want to rule.
Isn't it time to ask who are real culprits for damaging our social frame works,who creating such social mess on lieu of interests of big companies?
If this is not a right time to ask,then suffice to say that they forced people to be slave for ever in near future.

I will presenting a series on common man of India.
I will publish 1 photo in 3 days.
Hope you enjoy
Happy shuttering.

Indian Fair (1st Part)

Joydev Kenduli Mela
 Jaydev Kenduli (Bengali: জয়দেব কেন্দুলি) (also known as Kendubillo) is a village and gram panchayat in Ilambazar community development block in Bolpur subdivision of Birbhum District in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is believed by many, to be the birth place of Jayadeva, although its authenticity is contested, and in spite of the academic controversy, has developed as a religious centre with many temples and ashramas (hermitages). An annual fair, popular as baul fair, is organized on the occasion of Makar Sankranti.

Jaydev Temple

Jaydev Kenduli is located at 23.63°N 87.43°E. It has an average elevation of 48 metres (157 ft).^[8] It is located on the banks of Ajay River.^[7]
Villages in Jaydev Kenduli panchayat are: Joydev Kenduli, Tikarbeta, Sahapur, Janubazar, Raghunathpur, Mundira, Balarpur, Santoshpur, Bhubanaswer, Sugar, Chhata Chak, and Akamba.

A fair is organized in memory of Jayadeva on the occasion of Poush Sankranti or Makar Sankranti.^[11] It starts on the last day of the Bengali calendar month, Poush and continues up to 2 Magh.^[7] The start of the fair commemorates the auspicious day on which Jayadeva is claimed to have taken a bath at the Kadaambokhandi ghat of the Ajay river at Jaydev Kenduli.^[12] In 1982, the district authorities took control of the fair to provide a better environment, a good sanitation system, drinking water, lighting and security.^[13]
Several thousand bauls, a community of wandering minstrels who sing devotional songs to the music of the ektara (one stringed instrument), assemble for the fair and as such it is also referred to as Baul Fair. The bauls stay in 160 temporary hermitages at Jaydev Kenduli for around a month. These bauls appear to have inherited the legacy of Jayadeva songs.^[6][7][10]

Spending time in train

Observing Baul in Moner Manush akhra

Performing Bauls

 That night we have wonderful experience of hearing baul song  at "Moner Manush akhara" which is a baul akhara run by Sadhon Das Bairagi
The akhara is basically a camp side where every day from evening to morning different singers perform. This akhara was located just beside our camp.

Next day the morning onward we were strolling on  the fair which is a typically rural,I wonder the  people who came here buying few luxury materials probably could not understand the urban folks.The face-cream,kitchen utensils,red ribbons.These are silly things, perhaps for the urbanized people.But here lies our true picture of other side of India,where people don't know GDP,fiscal growth...blah..blah.

 

 During the fair it was heavily cold, we took sleeping bag along with us,which really helped us to bear with cold.
