    Different social movements take different course, depending on the prevailing culture. The course invariably depends on the kind of people who lead the movement and of course the kind of people who oppose it-the people who are in power. But they all fizzle out after sometime. Simply because it is not possible to sustain the enthusiasm. To be inactive is a social habit, very difficult to overcome. If a social movement has to sustain, it must start cultivating a different habit. The habit to think regularly.

    Social Movements

    A significant social movement is apparently being witnessed in India nowadays. It is led by a rather old non politician Anna Hazare. Thousand are thronging to join the crowds at Ramlila ground, Delhi, much more are joining crowds elsewhere in the country and some countries that have a significant population of India. I do not think such movements are unique, they happened and happened in many countries lately and they will continue, I think. Different social movements take different course, depending on the prevailing culture. The course invariably depends on the kind of people who lead the movement and of course the kind of people who oppose it-the people who are in power. But they all fizzle out after sometime. Simply because it is not possible to sustain the enthusiasm. To be inactive is a social habit, very difficult to overcome. If a social movement has to sustain, it must start cultivating a different habit. The habit to think regularly. Now can that be ever done? Isn't it almost impossible? Yes, it is impossible for all the population. But not a significantly larger fraction of population that joins such bandwagons. Opinion makers, the people who have been popular in the social media, whether newspapers, or electronic media invariably become very active in such times. They criticize or support particular sides, whether openly in a straightforward manner or obliquely. Their attitude is governed by their paymasters, people who own that media. I wonder, why can't many more ordinary citizens like me do it everyday, even without the expectation of an attractive honorarium from a newspaper? Is it impossible? I do not not think so. Small groups can be formed, with or without a leader. Members of the groups try to think everyday, Think beyond what is part of some propaganda, promoted by some media group managed by some powerful capitalist and communicate to others. That can be a global social movement, not restricted to any nation. It is indeed a demand of the times, because the disease is in fact global, not local! It is the call of the time, we do it, else we all almost perish in the storm on the horizon. I am reminded of the very famous paradigm of Chairman Mao Zedong for cultural revolution in China
