Both the government and the violent revolutionaries have to search new means to
achieve their common goal of serving the people.
It was Mahatma Gandhi who addressed this
question and thought afresh. His invention of Satyagrhara and Constructive work
as new tools has opened the spectrum for improvement.
The anti-social elements are more organized
today than earlier. The good people in the society are disorganized. Violent
revolutionary means are unable to organize the good people to fight against the
evil forces. Involving more people to fight against the evil is more important
than few people taking to arms. Hence a time has come that those who believe in
revolutionary changes should come together and explores the possibilities of
such means, which can be used by ordinary people in an open society.
Politicians and peoples' representatives are as
much trustees of peoples' welfare as much as revolutionaries. Hence both of
them should think of changing their old means to solve the problems. In this
search Civil Society should play a major role to make both parties i.e. violent
revolutionaries and government to promote a dialogue with the people on this
issue.
As it would involve more sections of society
with concern, that would reduce tensions. In this effort success may not come
immediately. But the effort itself is a worthy incentive for future success.
This applies to both those who control the
traditional power of state and economy and also those who use revolutionary
means. In such a situation means and ends are not contradictory of each other
but they will be complementary to each other. Then in spite of contradictions
some form of synthesis can be achieved in various efforts that are working for
a better human being and for a better human society. So let us be bold enough
to take risks and to progress together.
I hope that the State of India (and the State
