The Indian people in general are fond of condemning any new move. They do not generally see how the change is going to improve their lives. The whining is accompanied with every new moderation introduced by the government or society. In this context, one is not surprised to find TV channels going overboard with common people's reaction over the petrol price hike.
Why these people are supposed to be common is that there mindset generally do not crosses their limitations. These people only care for their bread and butter and never understand how it is important for the government to maintain the health of oil companies. These commoners seldom look beyond their bikes. They hardly think how it is absolutely necessary for the rulers and administrators to run their cavalcades, just so that law and order remain intact in the society. Don't you know that only because of the able governance, our country has experience least kind of 'unwanted incidents', violence and disruption? Doesn't then the rulers owe a plethora of facilities in return of their yeomen services to nation? Doesn't it become then a duty of the populace to bear the expense of providing such facilities, conveniences and comfort for the sake of fearless, cosy and proud lives that they enjoy for the last sixty years in independent democratic India?
If answer to these questions is yes, then why should one grin and face the hike in an unhappy tone. Come, let's celebrate, the petrol hike is another sign that we are getting more and more better governance in India. The deregulation means that government will come in our way barely a minimum and only when the personal lives of those associated with polity are involved. Common public is free to live as it wishes henceforth.
