Are we ready for the change....???

Hai preet jahan ki reet sada mein geet waha ke gata hoon..bharat ka rahne wala hoon bharat ki baat sunata hoon.....well such song can fill any Indian with the patriotism......and it has nothing wrong......... but,  do we have that true patriotism for our nation??

Well, Stage is set now and along with Indian whole world was eagerly waiting for 27^th December, and everything seems to have fallen in place, for the Government, the Parliament, for the people of India, for the news channels and the internet. "India Against Corruption", seems to have shaken up a few people, actually, a whole lot of Indian population, and everyone seems to be talking about it everywhere.

I wonder if anything is going to change. Mind you, I am a very optimistic person; so, don't think that I don't have any hopes. But, when you get to see, or hear about bizzare incidents happening almost every day, all around me, all this boils down to a very basic question.

Are we really ready for this change?

I have a big doubt. There were many cases where people have victim of being assault by Indian policeman, either they were not having enough of money to bribe or another person was with big stature in the society. There was another incident, many incident alike hit and run case, 2g spectrum case, Common wealth games corruption bla bla bla. There is a long list of such incident. I know a collage friend, who had to pay lump sum amount to institution authority to get admission in the course. While there were many student who were on scholarship while belonging to affluent family, most of them were from Bihar.

During my PG programme, I personally realise how people change their fate, Why business tycoons/bureaucrats/politicians and their child only grow and are on big profile, like assistant professor etc.

But, I have an appetence and wish that one day, India would be on the list of the least corrupt nations in the world. But, I doubt that this will happen in a course of the next few years. It would take generations and decades all-together to bring about this change. It's not only about the laws, or the judiciary or the punitive actions by the authorities. Even by having biggest written constitution in detail for everything, our politicians mending the constitution just to mollify their voters. There should be a change in peoples' mindset and their thinking. We should change the way we live each day. We should change the way we act each day.

Everyone from the Government that speaks against corruption doesn't really understand how to tackle it. Or rather, they don't really have the will to eradicate corruption. I would agree that, 80% of the government officials are corrupt, but the honest ones, who are still the 20% of the system, get branded as corrupt officials. Why is that so?

1.     Until and unless I pay a bribe at the passport office, my application would continue depositing dust.

2.      Until and unless I pay donation to some MP, I won't get admission to a private school/college.

3.      Until and unless I pay a bribe, my tender would be rejected.

4.      Until and unless I pay bribe, I would be the last one to be promoted.

These are routine corruption case, which one must have face in his life. I haven’t discussed the about big business house, who pay a lump-sum amount to minister for their wellbeing, life exemption in tax etc. Exemption in tax winning amount after cricket world cup for the world richest cricket council, while national sport hockey has never got such big impetus ever, cricketers who earned a nefty amount via advertisement campaign etc, was there any need to rebate in the tax?? Benefiting bunch of group Is a kind of corruption too.

I read the document copy of Jan-Lokpal and realised detailing of Lokpal is inspired with influence of MP’s and ministers of Govt. There is no need to tell congress ruled the country since 1947, and most of today’s minister are rooted since freedom and share a big amount of black money, reasonably, it all was just to protect them.

Democracy is related to people, people of country, But 4.5% of reservation for religion reminiscent me of divided India, where so called Mahatma Gandhi support and agreed on the independent Pakistan. Story of later, everybody is aware; Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru became the prime Minister of free India. Unquestionably, it’s all just to win the heart of Muslim voters and to return in the Government of Uttar Pradesh. Ignoring the fact, these decisions have bang akin to”gulam Kashmir.” Black Money Issue, 2G spectrum and Common Wealth Games Corruption are burning issues among the present India. Why Government doesn’t bring the fact and discloses the names of corrupt politicians, why they are afraid of not doing so. Answer is very clear; they all are illicit complete in wrong doing.

It doesn't matter if he rides in a BMW. Take away his Z+ security, and let him drive on the pot-holed roads, and get stuck in traffic. Let him try to renew his vehicle insurance. Let him try to get a gas connection for his house. Let him try to get his PF amount withdrawn from the PF office. Let him try to successfully win a contract without bribing a penny. Let him try to dare and complain against a lazy government officer or a dishonest minister.  Let him try to register a complaint in the police station about his stolen TV. 

I am sure he will have a stiff time. Just like each one of us go through all these dilemma, every single day of our lives. I understand that a Prime Minister is not a super-man and he can't really solve each and every problem of our nation. But then, whatever I can see around myself, or read about in the news papers, I don't really feel that the Government is really trying hard. But again, that's not the point. Even after we would have all the strict laws and the Jan Lokpal setup, do I really feel that, magically, one fine morning, corruption in India would end?

My clear response is a big "NO".

Until and unless we change, nothing's really going to change. Things like these have to change.

1.      People let their children stay in prison for a day or two instead of bribing the police, even if their children are innocent.

2.      People don't produce fake caste certificates to get their children admitted into good schools.

3.      People themselves stop taking bribes or offering bribes.

4.      People should encourage their children to be honest, not only to them, but to everyone else as well.

5.      People stop asking for dowry. That's also a kind of bribe.

6.      People stop giving dowry.

7.      Teach humanity. Be more humane. Killing someone for Rs. 50000/-!!!!! That's not humane.

8.      People should pay their taxes honestly, even if they feel that the Government is just eating up their hard-earned money.

9.   An evil person deserves a chance after his first mistake, but what if he go over them knowingly for fun and excitement.  Strong rules and regulation are must for such devil.

A wise quote tell itself,

Start of change begins with self then home to society and country.

Writing on such topic is not an easy task, an intense honesty and deep confidence is required with radical knowledge of evil and deity in society among you friends and family.
