Economy as described in the glossy papers - emphasis upon the continued bull run of the sensex, large foreign investment, booming job opportunities and ever expanding indian businesses. Reality - Less than suffient food for more than 30% of the population, No education for 40% of 102 crores of Indians, Bad road even for the tax payers, Swelling population eating away at all the efforts to maintain equilibrium between demand and supply. I agree that no nation can be developed in 5-10 years, but the root of our problem as Indians is very unique in itself. We crib about sanitation, road, governement aides or rather lack of them , but we hardly do anything from our own side. Nithari happened and all we could do was to gape at the horrible story and shake our heads in disgust. Blamed everything on Police and just said aloud that something should be done. But who will do that? WHO?
Be it USA, Japan or any other country, it was not built just by traders, businessmen or booming indices. They were made by people, their collective effort, their refusal to accept things as they come. Nation is build by the willingness of its citizens to build it , to shape it and to be proud of it.
Are u the one contributing to this joint effort? How can u face ur child when u r the one increasing the mess she is going to be in after few years? How can u just watch when ur hoem is wilting away? HOW?
Excellent thought....I would have loved it even more if you had tried to give some solutions to the above problem
ReplyDeleteI agree as well but do you think you can do it? the moment some politician see that you are trying to do some reforming acts which might supress his promises for his next election..would you be alive then??? Thats India if as an individual you try doing you will be hammered ..but you want to join a group?impossible..coz your group will be melted in no time by either threats or sufferings or murders!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt just that when we elect someone we need to see who is going up...can we elect some guy who is well educated and good in finance?yes to some extent he would try to do something good!!! end of the day his finance will be much better than anyothers in this world!not just india!!! we have such a huge potential of bribes and illegal money!!!!!
