An declaration before i proceed. I am no expert in economics or politics. I write what my facebook-addicted , FPS crazy mind thinks. And this blog post is an expression of my thoughts and views .
While the nation is embroiled in the great Lokpal issue, and crowds throng the streets supporting Anna , instead of visiting the malls , posing for photographs , one gets the feelings that we are undergoing a major change . the post Lokpal issue India will be a better one , a better one for Indians , free of corruption and a superpower in 2020.
When i read such words i am filled with amusement . superpower in 2020 ?? sure why not , with all the current crop of players trained in the IPL , why wont we be ?
If you are mention the year , then my dear man please dont kid yourself . Tell me what it means by a superpower ?? Do you have any idea of the difference in development between us and the biggest kid next door ? Do you have any idea of what economics is ?
We are kidding ourselves with these thoughts . The lokpal bill introduced by the government was a joke on the citizens. You couldnt investigate half of the parliament ? No direct action possible , only suggestions or recommendations . Want to help whistleblowers ?? Out of luck . Want to impeach the Prime Minister on a swiss trip when a building at an Olympics event collapses ?? Dead End mate .
And to top it all there are these youngsters and 30's guys , holding candle to support the movement against corruption . Arses , do you really think that would help ? Do you wear a helmet before jumping onto the 60 kmph rocket of yours ? DO you pay your taxes instead of cheating your income statement ? Ever donated money for a cause ??
Reformation is not a quick easy process.Its unlike downloading the latest movies. We need a fundamental change in the society. Our traditional values will not take us any further.Respect has been mistaken for subservience .
No longer segregation of castes and reservation applies.Do a quick calculation and tell me how many developed countries have 27 % living space for a certain section of the people .
Our country is weighed down by its dumbshit bureaucracy. Freedom of expression is guaranteed as long as it does not conflict with the nation's interest. Does it mean that i cannot complain about bumpy roads 'cause it might point to a massive trail of bribery and fraudulent dealings ?? And does the interest of the government change every 5 years ??
What people are good at is forgetting things. a year from now , all thoughts of the jan lokpal bill will be forgotten when karan johar shoots his next film with SRK on the moon. People will talk instead of how bollywood is conquering the solar system.
You will not remember the oath you took against corruption. When your circumstances force you , you will bribe the guy at the office to make your house purchase quick and easy. You will evade tax and show fraudulent income just because you can save a buck in your miserly life . If this isnt going to change then even in 202020 India will remain a trash can.No one can think for his/her own. where did all this civic sense and national pride go before anna hazare started a fast at jantar mantar ?? too chickened out ? Remember that we shared a gene pool with sheeps 100 million years ago , not now . You have a 1.6 kg organ called brain that consumes 25% of what your breath all the time .Use it .
All this is not a bad thing. We need to think of what our actions will achieve. In terms of what will be the consequences after decades.By concentrating on the final results that the agitation will bear.Simply holding up a placard when everyone shouts will not change your country.Wearing tricolor t shirts shows you only consider stuff when it is cool, not that you are actually interested in it.All the patriotism must not come out only on 14th August 8:00 PM and definitely not in terms of facebook pictures, tags and status updates.
So fellow citizens, you may dismiss this ranting of a lonely nerd sitting in his home and blogging through his PC. Or you try finding some part of what he says that makes sense to you and opens your eyes towards the mountains of reason. The choice is yours. use it well ..... May the force be with us
point well said!
