The Plight of MSMEs: A Call for Empathy and Respect

In the vast landscape of India's economy, where the agricultural sector often captures the heart of national sympathy, the struggles and tribulations of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) remain largely overshadowed. Much like farmers, MSME owners navigate a sea of uncertainties and challenges, with many facing the dire consequences of luck failures and systemic pressures. Yet, their cries for help and understanding go largely unheard, their sleepless nights unnoticed.

MSMEs, the backbone of the Indian economy, endure daily harassment from bank call centers, even those who are diligent with their payments. Unlike the rich politicians who, despite defaulting on loans worth thousands of crores, continue to bask in public life without a hint of remorse, MSME owners carry a burden of immense self-respect. They would rather face the ultimate sacrifice than default on their payments. This stark contrast highlights a deep-rooted issue within our society, where the shameless parade of bank defaulters(in important posts) by politicians has eroded the very fabric of ethical conduct and accountability.

The harassment faced by MSMEs often comes with a linguistic twist, adding insult to injury. Loans are sanctioned with sweet words in the local language, only for the borrowers to be harassed in a different language where the centralized call centers are located. This linguistic dichotomy serves as a bitter reminder of the impersonal and insensitive treatment meted out to MSME owners, who, like farmers, are vital to the nation's progress and well-being.

The comparison between MSMEs and farmers extends beyond their shared struggles. Both groups face the harrowing prospect of having their properties auctioned, a fate that the wealthy easily evade. Banks, seemingly complicit in this disparity, write off loans for the rich, who often provide no collateral, while MSMEs and farmers are left to navigate a labyrinth of debt, taking loans at exorbitant rates from private parties to keep up with their installments.

This systemic injustice calls for a reevaluation of our societal values and the principles upon which our nation was built. The establishment of Sri Ram's Temple is a step toward honoring our cultural heritage, but true adherence to Sri Ram Dharma requires the application of his principles of righteousness, justice, and empathy towards all, especially the entrepreneurs and farmers who form the bedrock of our society.

The plight of MSMEs is not a plea for sympathy but a demand for empathy and respect. Entrepreneurship is a path fraught with risks, where only one in ten may find success. Yet, it is these brave souls who dare to dream and strive, contributing to the nation's economy and fabric, even in the face of insurmountable odds.

The day will come when true nationalists rise to power, heralding an era where the exploitation of public resources, the evasion of loan repayments, and the promotion of oligarchies by political parties will be relics of the past. In this new dawn, every trader politician will face accountability, and the principles of Ram Rajya will guide the nation towards justice and equality for all, including the unsung heroes of our economy, the MSMEs, and farmers.

As Sri Ram has returned, so too shall the era of Ram Rajya, where empathy, respect, and understanding for every contributor to our nation's prosperity will be the cornerstone of our society. It is in this hope that MSMEs and farmers continue their toil, awaiting the day their struggles are recognized and their contributions celebrated, not just as economic statistics, but as the very soul of India's progress.
