Once upon a time there lived a poor man named Alibaba who worked hard in life and remained a simpleton all through his life. One fine day he found a cave which opened only after talismanic words “Khul Jaa Simsim”. Alibaba kept visiting the cave and every time he came out, he looked more powerful and happy.
A bunch of incompetent thieves who were observing Alibaba, thought the cave had huge treasure inside and wanted to grab the magical cave and become rich, famous and most powerful.
After years, the story of Alibaba repeated today in Kolkata. A group of 23 leaders from across states came together with the intention of capturing incredible place called India.
The magical treasure of India is like that Alibaba cave. The leaders who came together are aware of the magical words “Khul Jaa Simsim” which they feel can take them through voters mind and give them the treasure, secured dynasty and grab the power for a long time to come.
However, with times the cave which was looted for years has changed its internal structure and it now consists of all the glory, fame, power, poverty, corruption, bureaucracy, infighting and struggles for basic necessities of life.
With change in times, the cave can also be opened by two magical words either “Khul Jaa Simsim” or “Sabka Sath Sabka Vikas”.
The choice remains with us as the first one assures only treasure, but not for everyone whereas the second one if taken in true spirit has the power to change the way the country looks. It will still be with all problems but there always will be a shimmer of hope for better days to come.
It’s upto us whether we want to go by “Khul Jaa Simsim” or “Sabka Sath Sabka Vikas” , both create magic with different beneficiaries.
