SRI LANKAN REVOLUTION by Fr. Nelson Lobo

 


Wondering Guru (111) 

Have you ever wondered why revolutions take place?

History has been repeating itself time and again. Sadly, humans never learn from their past mistakes. What happened in France in 1789 is now happening in Sri Lanka. I would term it Sri Lankan Revolution. Sadly, the Sri Lankan government never learned the political history of people’s power. Every revolution told us why revolutions take place. Revolutions happen because there is limit to people’s patience and tolerance. When people are taken for granted with repeated lies and false promises revolutions are bound to happen. When people are pushed to the wall their survival instinct comes up and they begin to show to the government the people's supreme power. No matter how powerful the politician is or how stable and strong the government looks like they must remember one political principle: Never under estimate people’s power.  When people want desperate change in guard revolutions happen. The government of the people, by the people and for the people was born after French Revolution.  What is happening in Sri Lanka can also be a warning sign for other countries including India. Of late such revolutions have taken place in Egypt, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka etc. Wake up India. Next may be your turn.
