Not a great title to use ..especially at this time, in 60 mins from now it will be Aug 15th , The independence day. My intention is not to demean the nation which had lightened a new wave of hopes in the third world countries. I have no intention to insult the great man ANNA HAZARE at all, after all i am not a congress man .
I am writing this out of surprise that over last one year a sensation is created by the media as if this movement run by few folks are going to change the face of nation..... as if it is earth breaking. After all this fiction like a TV reality show... what has this nation achieved, i am sorry i am not ready to believe if anyone says at least it created awareness about corruption OR it reinforced the necessity of curbing corruption. It did not achieve anything except providing platform to politically ambitious folks like Arvind Kezriwal. TWEETS ,communities in FACEBOOK, Discussions in national news channels have all earned the time of many young hard working guys , that is the biggest success so far and maybe we are going to have a new political party.
Have a look the independent India's history, from "GARBHI HATAO" to "INDIA AGAINST CORRUPTION" this whole nation ran after a dream, never did it achieve that dream nor demonstrated an unflinching determination to pursue it further. Emotions erupted ,people voted and defeated subsequently, poverty and corruption grown exponentially.
I strongly feel that we should ask anyone one them who witnessed JP's SAMPOORNA KRANTI movement , it will be interesting to ask them how did it feel like then and what they a think today, i am sure my father's generation was mad at him and the movement by having sacrificed their studies , family life and assets for a great cause. After doing so much all it produced is a new government which fallen so quickly and a new set of leaders who promised equal society later turned out to be most corrupted like LALU.
Lokpal/Janlokpal is the not the next immediate thing we need to focus on, if anyone says it is you are kidding me , we have enough of them but the problem is we don't have the mechanism to implement them. We do not have the courage to send somebody behind the bars and ensure he is there in that place he deserves by 1000% for life time. When this happens all you will end up doing is reinventing the wheel, get a new uniform for the same people call that department something else end up achieving a big nothing.
Somebody who has the power in his hands and knows the fact that he can get away with all the wrongs things and get reelected will definitely continue to make money out of every small thing and save it in Swiss bank. The irony is while Anna is on fast most corrupted politician in Andhrapradesh were reelected to the state assembly in the by polls because they know that they can buy a vote with 250 ml liquor OR/500 rs note. Indians simply lack the courage to live honestly or they are forced that they don’t have choice but sell themselves/buy someone. From the sociological aspect it is very complex - after so many centuries india is now seeing a huge amount of money flowing everybody is in a hurry to make as much money as possible ," if I miss i will not be able to make never", the vicious but obvious child of globalization. From the other angle it is a rat race let us take a simple example you are in a deep summer not getting enough water for your domestic use you have no choice but pay few more extra and get the water. You have no idea on how you can get h no the land you own registered broker knows it , you pay him and have the land. We are forced we are left with no choice, where there is no choice there is scope for corruption simple economics.
We need choice , we need awareness we definitely need the courage to live honestly.We should have the choice reject all of them in the elections if think none of them meets the criteria to do so we need the knowledge. With only 17 % of your community reaching universities for higher education you cant dream a corruption free society. You cant be champions with weak muscle and ill body. Let us build this country step by step. Now let us stop running behind false dreams.
I am sure by 7:00 AM today all the new channels will start running a program to discuss on which name will be more suitable for the new political party
Happy Independence Day!
