Many people including intellectuals gives ‘likes’ and ‘comments’ based on the person (Their Caste, creed, region, religion, profession, status, group, connection,  political leaning etc)  and not based on the contents. When will we learn to come out of these narrow considerations and evaluate things unbiased, dispassionately, forthrightly forgetting the fact that who has posted it. This is the typical mindset of petty politicians who behave like sycophants and flatters and blindly support their leaders in spite of the fact that what their leaders preach and practice is illogical, irrational, wrong, bad, unconvincing, incorrect, erroneous, not in public interest etc. On the other hand they oppose everything proposed by the rival parties irrespective of its merit. (In fact the word opposition itself is a misnomer, which creates an impression in the minds of public that their duty is to oppose anything proposed by the other party).Such attitude will create an impression in the minds of ‘Leaders’ that they are infallible, indispensable and unassailable which is not in  their party’s or country’s interest. This is precisely the reason for the dictatorial and arrogant attitude of many leaders in our so called democracy. A handful of people hold a vast majority to ransom is the outcome of such mentality. Let us not become HMVs (His Master’s voice).It is high time; political workers and public at large should come out of this shackle and herd mentality and show the courage of conviction to call a spade a spade. This will be the harbinger of a new era of purification in Indian politics. We should make the leaders realize that they are the servants of the people and not their masters. It is the common man who makes them or breaks them and not vice versa. Let us empower ourselves and not allow horse riding on us by the Politicians and their henchmen.
