SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST: has it become the defining feature of our society?

While going past Lalu Yadav’s, house yesterday  and  seeing the gaiety and high spirits of his well wishers  over his recent win made me realize the essence of  the law of ‘survival of the fittest’ in every sphere, be it family, society or politics. Such was the effect of his win that well wishes are pouring over him from all quarters, even from his enemies or to put it more precisely, his erstwhile political enemies. Power, wealth and  affluence have gone on to assume the greatest significance in families, society and above all in politics which is bound to have a catastrophic effect, sooner or later. Though the law of the “survival of the fittest” is not the hallmark of our culture, but it is alarming to see it being incorporated into it as its integral component and that too without us realising its repercussion. Those who have power can easily turn their negatives into positives and enmity into friendship, that too without sacrificing their ego or narrow mindedness. Now RJD’S every negative aspect  seems positive for the opportunists and this is the new trend and identity of politics in India.  Now if someone has power and wealth he/ she can experience an exponential growth in his/her stature while those people lacking power and wealth quickly fade away from the mind and heart of the masses even if they have had some positive contribution to the society.This is our misfortune.  Its better and should be more rewarding to do one’s ‘swa-dharma’and  selfless service. This is the sole foundation of Indian culture that will pave the way for  mutual understanding and acceptance  without judging people on the basis of their status of power , wealth and affluence. This is the sole way by which  we can live in peace, unity and harmony
