I heard a very interesting analogy today,
A 10 floor building did not have a lift, so people had problem climbing up and down. Specially the elderly and the kids, so the society started exploring options.
Finally they got some donkeys, who could carry people up and down. The donkey owners would charge people for carrying them up and down for a fee and would also pay 10% to the society from the revenue they earned. It was a very happy situation for all involved.
After sometime the society management changed, the new management decided to install a lift for carrying people up and down.
All hell broke loose and everyone started protesting, this is not fair, society will loose revenue. The donkey owners will be jobless..
And no food for them(human rights issue), the donkeys will be worthless (animals rights issue), all were angry.
Society management clarified, the lift is available to all but the gentlemen who wanted to use the donkeys could still do it.
But no, the agitation continued and so finally the new management had to succumb to the pressure.
The final arrangement was made and so anyone who wanted to climb the building could still use the donkey. The donkey would carry a person, go in the lift and carry people up & down.
All were happy.
Disclaimer: any resemblance of this with the farmers agitation is a coincidence.
A WhatsApp forward..

Perhaps just the tip of the iceberg? What else is in store?

We are a few devout Hindus from Ward No. 26.

We went to the Narayan Temple on Ramudulal Sarkar Street.

When we reached the temple to offer our prayers, the local TMC boys blocked us by saying –
“No, in this temple in ward No. 26, no Hindu will be allowed to offer prayers.”

When we tried to reason with them, they threatened the priest of the temple with dire consequences if he entertained us.

They further said (on instructions of senior goons of TMC)very categorically
That in this Ward No. 26, no Hindu will be allowed to offer prayers in any Hindu temple.

We went to the local police station to report this, but were told that complaints from Hindus will not be entertained there.

We are very unhappy that this is happening in Bengal.
