Do we need a SPARTACUS in us…

Spartacus (c. 109 BC-71 BC), according to Roman historians, was a slave and a gladiator who became a leader (or possibly one of several leaders) in the major slave uprising against the Roman Republic known as the Third Servile War.

 

Spartacus' struggle, often seen as the fight of an oppressed people fighting for their freedom against a slave-owning aristocracy. The rebellion of Spartacus has proven inspirational to many modern literary and political writers, making Spartacus a folk hero among cultures both ancient and modern. 

Do we need a Spartacus in us in today's world. Its been time since we have been accommodating everything that is thrown in front of us. We don't question, rather we don't have time. If we question we get blames, excuses and reasons in reply. The cost of these excuses are huge.

 

A simple example of dug up roads in Mumbai, i see them been dug up for years and years and there is absolutely no change. Never there is a smooth ride. Every drive is with stress and delay. When we question the administration that's corrupt points to the contractor, the contractor points to the political system ultimately we as citizens are are on the receiving end.

Roads, Infrastructure and basic amenities for tax payers is a minimum expectations. While urbanization in progress its the rural India that got ignored because money never reaches the grassroots.  Urban lords share the fruits with the political authorities.

 

 

I am not sure how but we need to fight this, its painful. Its important to empower the masses, make them realize their potential and build them into a strong force that builds the nation.  We need few Spartacus who will lead the way. We don't need leaders who are busy aligning themselves with the high command but those leaders who stand for the masses and believe in what is right than who is right.
