Pendulum effect and our politics

we are what we are..

You all might have heard about Pendulum theory in physics.If my memory serves me right, it was Galileo who understood and codified this Pendulum theory based on gravity and motion and all the clocks in the world had pendulums which go back and forth keeping up the time interval between their swings.

Based on this pendulum movement there is a theory called Pendulum effect. This is applicable for culture, politics, economics and even in our behaviours.When the Pendulum is pulled to one extreme, this Pendulum effect clearly says that pendulum will swing back to the other extreme with force, motion and vengence ! Signs of this effect is most visible in administration. When there is laxity in enforcement of rules of banking norms and when NPAs swelled , RBI and the state banks swung into action. The rules have been overtightened and even good and genuine borrowers are made to feel the heat and sweat so much so that all borrowers are first considered defaulters or atleast potential defaulters. Borrowers with even good standing will have to prove their genuineness ,demonstrate their innocence and prove that they are not guilty ! PSu banks have swung from the other extreme to this extreme.

Same is the case in Politics. When X politician was arrested and jailed there was widespread resentment against the govt. of the day and Politician Y who masterminded it. After elections the politician X gains prominence and seeks revenge on politician Y by putting him behind bars settling his scores.The pendulum has swung to the other extreme.

But when the pendulum will come to rest.This is a million dollar question and pendulum can come to rest only when we follow the foot steps of statesmen saints like Gandhiji who advised that an eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.

Somebody should have the will to stop the Pendulum.
