Lesson of Kamduni

Perhaps never before in Mamata Banerjee's regime any ordinary mortal could dare reply to her rebuff with equal vehemence like two women of Kamduni village near Barasat.Mamata Banerjee paid a surprise visit at Kamuduni after ten days a young girl student of the village was brutally raped and killed.People, particularly women there, were furious over Mamata's apparantly casual attitude to such a barbaric incident as was manifested in her inordinate delay in visiting their village and that too after repeated requests.So fuming villagers almost mobbed her to pour out their grievances.Mamata lost her cool and blasted at them at the the top of her voice.Though others were seemingly cowed down by Mamata's rebuff but two women continued to argue with her.Mamata as usual termed them Maoist as she earlier called Shiladitya,a poor farmer and Taniya Bharadradwaj, a student of Presjdency University. for asking her uncomfortable questions.Being marked as Maoist two women got initially frightened but later regained their brave self when they found they were not alone and all villagers were with them . People of Kamduni were further enthused when they saw massive rally at Kolkata in their support,They also participated in the rally too.So when the school headmaster of Kamduni was served a shawcause notice alleging he arranged protest rally by the students in the village, the Kamduni people took a procession condemning this move of the administration.The situation has turned the meek villagers mutinous.This metamorphism is common wherever people are oppressed and administration is insensitive and indifferent.Kamduni episode has inspired people even in remote villages to launch protest against crime against women and other wrong doings.Here villagers are host in themselves. They need no politicians to stand by them.Govt should seriously listen to their voice.
