What is wrong with our country?

भा मारा


We, the people of India, have the pride of saying that we are Indians. We say 'हमारा भारत महान', 'सारे जहाँ से अच्छा हिंदुस्तान हमारा' and other similar words of pride. Are we really "prideworthy"? Or is it plain vanity? Do we really mean what we say? Or are these words come just from our tongue meaning nothing?

I put forward these questions only to make sure, are we really happy because we are Indians? If we are truly happy, what have we done for the development of our fellowmen? Nothing. We, having got great leaders like Gandhiji and other patriots, have become corrupt today. More sensibly, we have become selfish.

Why do I say this? What is the basic problem in our motherland? I would like to begin with the problems caused by the terrorists. Terrorism, according to sources, is mostly backed with religion. When I say terrorists I not only refer to the men with a gun in their hand and kill innocents in the border or the ones who cause bomb blasts or their master minds. By the word terrorists, I also refer to people disguised with great feeling for mankind but have vengeance in heart. Yes, I refer to people who give hate speeches and sway people's emotions of religion, language, caste, creed or race and thus cause chaos.

As the next problem i would like to mention the problems that are being caused by the government servants. The so called 'public servants' are no longer public servants but they make the public, their servants. Bribery is seen in government offices in its massive huge form. Though there are some truly honourable people, the rest make the place unholy. Our leaders are promising new welfare schemes during every election campaign out of which only 50% are brought into effect. Leave the fifty person that has gone with the wind. Is the other 50% worthy? I would prefer to go with the nay. Statistics state that only 8 paise in every one rupee the government spends reaches the true target. The rest... eaten in the intermediate stages!!!

But inspite of these alarming statistics produced by the media, why don't anybody take the necessary action? It is because, the society is dominated by two types of people. First, people who don't know that they are being cheated and second, the people of our kind. I mean people who know that their fellow men are cheated and don't bother as that injustice doesn't affect them. Let us not be like this anymore. Let us form a third set of people who are action likers. It was rightly said that, 'The inaction of good people has caused greater damage than the action of the otherwise'. So, we, the people of India, being men of action, should put a full stop to these activities.

Our other national problems will also include stunning rates of pollution, ever increasing deforestation etc. all of which are direct consequences of man's greed. Inspite of the economic growth and highly sophisticated figures with which we boast, we have evils like female infanticide, bride burning etc. taking place in our country even today. When these are termed as the crimes of the illiterate, we also have highly learned cyber crime makers.

Our country is also a place for other social evils like illiteracy, unemployment, poverty etc which have to be eradicated. We have got into a 'viscious circle' of poverty. Our educational systems are not perfect either. This is because, we mass produce unemployable graduates. Then what is the use? Let us discuss it in our following blogs

And, when I post like this, please do not think that I am putting down India in the global scenario. This is only a blog for constructive criticism. My humble openion is that these criticisms will help in improving our nation. In short let us take the project of cleaning India and hence the world. Cleaning, not the physical dust, not very the harmful, but the dust in human minds, quite harmful is our goal.

Please don't forget to post your suggestions. Also don't forget to follow this post to read the forthcoming posts and improve India. You can also tell your friends about this blog and make them participate in this project. However, one kind request is that please don't consider this blog for just taking essays or quotes. Its purpose is served only if we act.


IMPROVE INDIA, IMPROVE WORLD
