These days this is the only one question which tickles my mind....
On one side we talk about super power, millennium cities of India, modern India, common wealth games etc., and on the other side if you see deeply inside India, there are all sad stories. Stories related to crime, misuse of one's powers, religion/state fights, hatred, dirty politics, no education for poor, no medical facilities for poor, no shelter for poor, infrastructure problems and many more.
Crime is increasing day by day. Every single day we can read at least ten stories of crime which get registered but there are many more which does not even get registered. Murders, rapes, abusing, land scams, cash scams, snatching of any kind, etc. The number is just increasing day by day. Police and courts are doing their job but who knows what exactly they are doing. 3 million cases are pending in the courts of India. Isn't this shameful. Police themselves are involved in many cases.
Every time we just hear the news and leaves it. No one wants to do anything about it. If a common man wants to do something he will not be able to do anything as the system will not allow him but force him to do his own work. Now suppose system allows, but the ladder to is too huge. And on every step, he would be asked to do 100 stunts and by the time he will finish them he would be so much tired and frustrated (because of lack of support and motivation) that he will just leave it and may also think "Its not happening with me then why should I be bothered."
Now lets talk about religion/state fights. India is moving towards super power and we Indians are also growing mentally, socially, and economically and yes off course Indians are educated enough to understand that we are Indians and not Gujarati or a south Indian or north Indian or Bengali or Marathi manoos. I pity the people who think they are Madras or Bengali or Gujarati instead of being proud to be an Indian. People of India are forgetting that they are just Indians. Freedom fighters were just Indians and they fought for India and not for one state or the other. We say Britishers ruled us with one policy "Divide and Rule". But if you think now also its divide and rule policy of our leaders or politicians. They are applying the same policy.Don't we realise this.
I hear people talking very proudly about the state where they belong to ( as per their thinking ) and then talking ill about the other state where they are living and earning. Have you ever noticed it. If you go to south, it will be difficult for you to find something written in Hindi. When I was in college ( in Chennai ) everywhere the boards on the road or at the railway station where it was written written in Hindi were painted black. I hear people saying from south saying that south is better than north and we will go back to south in our old age. I want to ask all those so called south Indians or Marathi manoos or anyone that why you come and work in other states then. Why don't you live there and earn there itself. Stop saying bad about other states. In my school, there used to be groups in our class or the whole school. The groups were of Bengali girls, south Indians girls and so on. I never liked it. Now this - compulsory Marathi language issue. This is a real funny thing happening. When Hindi is our national language then why the people from other states who are in Maharashtra are suppose to know Marathi. And the best thing about this is that the so called leaders of our country who are in Gujarat are into gundagiri. Wow this is great. And when I hear educated people talking in favour of this issue, its shocking.
Now this politics and our politicians, what to talk about them. When I was a kid, I use to think these politicians are our leaders and they only think about India's and its people's welfare. But slowly and slowly this thinking was lost some where. What I feel that only 10% of leaders must be doing good for India but 90% of them are just filling their pockets and playing a blaming game to get power and nothing else. If there is a issue, instead of solving it they would think how to blame the other party and how to get benefit out of it. Sometimes I think that we would have been better off before the Independence. Have we taken Independence for hating each other? Why this hatred is there? All of us knows the good things taught to us in our schools but when we grow up we forget everything. " All Indians are my brother's and sisters" do you remember this sentence. They why we hate the other person. This marathi manoos thing has occured only because of one thing and that is "hatred". We are the culprits of keeping such people as our leaders.
When we go for some interview the first thing which is checked by the interviewer or the company is the education background. But do we know what is the education background of our leaders? No we do not know. We reject the person who is not well educated in an interview but we choose a leader who has not done even his graduation and think that he will be able to run our country. Great.... And do not forget one more thing and that is the criminal record. If a common man has done a small crime, we stay away from him but as a leader we will try to take his blessings also. Wow.... just think about it......
We talk about modern India, millennium cities and modern people. But have we grown up within? By wearing so called modern clothes, by going to night parties, by talking in slang language, by insulting anyone and any where, by having living relationships, by being a gay or a lesbian, or by going to abroad are we called modern. People are going towards showing off. The thinking is still 50 or 100 years old. I am talking about at least 80% of Indians of our country. We are just following western countries like monkey's and not using our brain at all. We need to see where we stand first and improve ourselves first and then follow others. I mean why always copy or follow other countries. Its good to copy good things but we need to equip ourselves first. The word "thinking" is the equipment.
I will give you some examples. The one would be ....
1. a female who has taken or given divorce : The first thing which comes in our mind ( about 70% of us)"must be because of her character/ego only". Many of us would be concentrating on "lets get some spice to talk about" and some of us would not be bothered at all. 90% of male would love to be with her for only one reason. So tell me have we changed our thinking?
2. late marriage : People will have nothing else to talk about except finding the reasons of not marrying.
3. Playing with poor kids ( live example ): In front of my house there is a construction site (of a house)where the work is going on full swing.There are 3 labourer's kids who plays with my son in front of my house only. I have around 6 neighbours and 2 of them are fine with my kid playing with these kids. 3 of them are not saying any thing but I can see their faces taking twist and turns. So why make faces. I mean our kids does not know about these things or what. Abusing is so common that our kids are suppose to learn. From streets to the movies, they watch everything. Internet is teaching them everything. The solution is not stoping them from knowing these things but to tell them what is right and what is wrong or what is good and what is bad. Our kids are intelligent and smart. What we knew when we were 8 years old they know when they are 5 years old. So have we changed our thinking.
Now let's talk about Education and medical facilities for poor. This is too HS or fashionable these days talking about poor's growth. The salaried man gives 33% of the hard earned salary as income tax apart from the other taxes. Corporates, business men also gives various taxes. As per our constitution it is required for the welfare of our country. I thought welfare will also mean poor's welfare.
If we talk about literacy, then before starting any dialogues, let me make you aware with the following findings:
"Literacy in India is key for socio-economic progress,and the Indian literacy rate grew to 66% in 2007 from 12% at the end of British rule in 1947. Although this was a greater than fivefold improvement, the level is well below the world average literacy rate of 84%,and India currently has the largest illiterate population of any nation on earth. Despite government programs, India's literacy rate increased only "sluggishly," and a 1990 study estimated that it would take until 2060 for India to achieve universal literacy at then-current rate of progress. The 2001 census, however, indicated a 1991-2001 decadal literacy growth of 12.63%, which is the fastest-ever on record" ( inputs as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_in_India)
There are so many government schools coming up and are there and the taxes we pay is also used here then why this is still happening. We cannot blame poor as the middle class is not able to fill its stomach then how can we expect these poor to send their children to study as they need them in the field too. If we are able to give the poor shelter, medical aid and work, then definitely the poor kids can come and study in the school and we will not be ashamed of illiteracy any more.
About medical facilities, I must say one must visit these hospitals and you will know where we stand. The condition of these hospitals are pathetic.
I hope the taxes are being used sensibly and not just going waste as we waste water and other natural resources.
