I Shoe/Sue You!

This is what has been happening recently all over the world. May be
people have been using this SHOE missile to vent their anger against
the concerned person or the establishment. Nevertheless, the SHOE
throwing episodes have been increasing day after day and people have
been relentlessly doing that against people who have been known as
HEAVY WEIGHTS in national and international politics.

Can this be taken as a good symbol? People, without getting afraid as
in the past, are coming out of their fear veils and are protesting in
such a way, which make authorities sit and take notice. Earlier, I
used to hear ridiculous stories from people who returned from US
saying that people there SUE even big corporations, without fear, if
they bear loss because of the company's product. It is something they
do quite often and because of that company's there, take so many
measures in order not to give a chance for their customers to SUE
them.

Exactly, let's hope that the SHOE throwing episodes in Indian election
scenario should bring such kind of accountability and responsibility
in the mind and hearts of the existing and would-be politicians. This
kind of episodes will definitely embarrass and harass them in front of
the public for not doing their work properly. Justice delayed is
justice denied. It seems that since justice is delayed (in most of the
cases!) due to the laborious, complicated, and outdated existing legal
process in India, people have been readily opting the Shoe throwing
option not only to vent their anger but also to punish those who are
insensitive to their ever-lasting problems in front of the public.

Although this blog does not appreciate and recognize that Shoe
throwing as one of the official protest options, but due to the
insensitivity of the politicians to the current problems that India
has been facing, it assumes this is also one of the authorized ways to
force the wily politician to do something good for the public who give
him power and authority through their vote power for the next 5 years.
