Who are the masses?

I read so many news articles of people emulating themselves that makes the place I am from sound like a bunch load of crazy. While some maybe just a political stunt — 139 people died of a heart attack because their corrupt leader was arrested? Really , that is some bio-war.

I have met so many people from the streets of Chennai and Coimbatore. And everyone I met was a sick-of-corruption sane person. Where are the masses? The sickening followers to ridiculous people?

Staged for money — But the fact that they have so much money to spend on horrific displays of support is scary. And what’s worse is this money is not spent on government hospitals, medicines, infrastructure and so much more of the basic needs lacking in the state.

As individuals I see us as smart and talented people. But, I have trouble giving a face to the masses of Tamil Nadu. The collective of all people I know are not prone to action, big words and little guts. It probably is our nonchalance to reality and the ability to work around the massive loopholes a corrupted government enables— but to do away with us sounding like a “bunch load of crazy” seems a lost cause when the masses are so unseen and faceless.
