To all my friends and fellow INDIANS,
I am right now in US of A, and though I want to come back, many people here tell me that this is what all new comers say. It seems once you get used to this place you will not leave it, I want to prove them wrong. Do you think I can?
Well anyway the matter I want to talk about is.....
Is INDIA ever going to be a developed country? Who can HELP India Shine?
Lets look at the contenders (we already know and have seen them in a lot of movies )
1.Politicians - The "VOICE of the people", we as the single most largest democracy in the world have politicians who could be placed in the ELITE group.......of criminals...... they have a criminal record which would make any hard core criminal proud. And no one seems to care much about. Some of them even after being caught on tape hold governement posts, does anyone care?? What happened to the voice of the people??
2.Civil servants - The toughest exam in the country is the I.A.S examination (well some say CAT is the toughest) India's most intelligent and astute guys get through it and are given the post to serve the country but most of who end up serving themselves. Even the few honorable ones are not allowed to perform their duties and some start of their training by accepting "Gifts" in appreciation for their work which eventually becomes their sole motivation. But there is still hope with a few honest and sincere men still there to serve the people if only they are allowed.
3. Professionals (Doctors, Engineers.....India has a lot of these but the quality of these professionals is decreasing as education is business now. But we still have some of the brightest minds in the world)
4."Intellects"- You will find many of these guys sitting in TV studios discussing how India can be made better, they criticise the government policies and policy makers. But we don't see many actually doing something more than just talk to make things better.
5. THE NORMAL DESI - The Normal Indian who has a job, is married, couple of kids and everything is fine for him and all his cares and worries are limited to his work place and house. And is not concerned about all the stuff he reads and hears about thigns going on in our country, as long as he is not directly affected. After all its not his job to ask questions and make sure the government performs its duties, we have the politicians for it. hmmmm just another Normal Desi.
6. "YOUTH"-"The Next Generation" , most of whom end up in USA or if they are unlucky they stay back in India. So as I see our life circle is....... STUDY.WORK.GET SETTLED. MARRY. KIDS.....is this all there is to life? We have just one life, can't we do something out of the box?
Everyone in all the above groups has the power to make a difference in their own way, but we all know this power is not being properly used. The good thing is we still have few honest, sincere and hard working people in all the above groups. Do you think you can be one of them?
Lets not work just for our personal benefits, do something for your country and your countrymen. When you see something that is not right don't just pass by, STOP try to make it right, even if you can't atleast try. Our country needs us. We have the power to make India better, use it. After all you have only one life, and its not how long you live that matters but how you live and what you leave behind that's important.
So, Can you HELP India Shine??
If you think this article is good enough, forward this to your friends. Lets make India Shine.
