"Because enough is enough"
What do you say about the society whose top leaders are the biggest crooks? What do you do in a system where almost anyone with the power is corrupt? India has suffered enough. From childhood we are told India is a poor country. Why? There are countries in the world where an average person makes more than fifty times that an average Indian makes. Fifty times? Are their people really fifty times more capable than us? Does an Indian farmer not work hard? Does an Indian student not study? Do we not want to do well? Why, we then doomed to be poor? ( Don't laugh at my self-indulgent)
This has to stop. We have to clean the system. Che Guevara, the great revolutionary once said, "Power is not an apple that falls from the tree in to your lap. Power has to be snatched from the people who already have it." We have to start a revolution, a revolution that resets our corrupt system. A system that shifts power back into the hands of the people, and treats politicians like workers, not kings.
Ofcourse, this won't happen overnight. This won't happen until the real sufferings begins. As India's young population increases, we will need more good colleges and jobs. Soon, there will be not enough colleges. I want it to happen by the year 2020 and so call it Revolution 2020. The movement that will finally shake the muck of India.
When the internet will connect all colleges across the country.
When we will go on strike, shut down everything, until things are fixed.
When young people will leave their classes and offices and come onto the streets.
When Indians will get justice and the guilty will be punished.
And it will begin with "YOU"
The above paragraph is indeed taken from the book "Revolution 2020" by Chetan Bhagat, with little modification. But I wanted to convey my thoughts and his words were appropriate. I always feel proud about my country. It really has some charm in its simplicity, its nature, its common man. But I have questions against it too (which is obvious).
Why don't politicians give direct answer to common man's question?
Why don't the post of politicians have an educational criteria? Is age the only factor to become a politicans?
When will I hear "India is a develop country"? Its been more than 60 years of Independence. Our forefathers use to say we are developing country, then our grandfather and our father and now us. Does it take so long to become a developing country? Its like Bangladesh playing in Test Cricket. We don't want draws. We want victory.
When will I stop hearing this " Yeh India hai, yahan aisa hi hota hai, iss desh ka kuchh nahi ho sakta???"
Don't we have self respect? Can't we take a broom and clean our own place? Can't we be much tougher? I know it all begins with me. But alone we may not survive. Unity is strength. If not all then we youngsters can definitely do something about it.
How about starting with a "sacrifice"? We can do much better if we can sacrifice our time. If we can sacrifice our pleasure. Sacrifice to make India a better place to live in. If all of us sacrifice then an individual's sacrifice will be less and he will not feel it. DO something about your country buddy. I know you can do it. I know we all Indians can do it. I have seen it. It was during the "World Cup Cricket 2011" We all gathered to support our very own country. And our support showed. We won the Cup. We all got together, celebrated . We shared our joys, and yes we sacrificed our work to take India to glory. that is the sacrifice we need to make, but for a longer period. Start thinking about it. I know this country have been inflated a lot and it will burst any moment. Be prepared for that moment.
Jai Hind.
