When will ‘WE’ grow up?


INDIA is known in the world as the World’s Largest Democracy... We enjoy the status of the Republic Nation... Our civilization is supposedly one of the best cultured in the world... But it’s all past and our rich History... Where are ‘WE’ heading towards? We, have a fantastic democratic set up in the country for better governance... But now it seems that it has only for the sake of name – A Democratic set up...
Flying mikes, paper planes, torn papers, wrecked chairs... We have seen them all in the old store or in the garage... But fortunately or unfortunately, don’t know, we do get to see it all in our legislative assemblies... Be it at the Centre or in the State assemblies... This all is an integral part of our parliamentary sessions... We have got such fantastic leaders, (and I don’t blame them completely, because ‘WE’ are the ones who have elected them) who rather than governing, tend to entertain us in every possible manner... Recently we saw hungama in Bihar assembly; as an MLA was taking oath in Hindi, in Maharashtra assembly, there was a big tamasha... and most recently the entire nation and surely the world witnessed the most shameful act of parliamentarians in the intellectual house of the country... Few MP’s tore papers of Women’s Reservation Bill and threw everywhere and the chair too was no exception... It seems our MP’s forgot that the chair in Rajya Sabha doesn’t only belong to the Chairperson but also belongs to the Vice president of the Republic of India...
This brings us to the Question of the Day... When will ‘WE’ grow up? Are our politicians and leaders going to behave in a decent and democratic manner? Or it’s no more Democracy; it has turned into Gunda gardi? Don’t we feel very shameful when we see such incidents? Is it because for this we have elected these brats? Or is it for the betterment of the common people, who needs to be taken care off? But at times it’s very saddening that very few people are troubled by these questions... We say that we live in a democratic set up and we function in the same manner... So can anybody explain to us that if we don’t feel that something is right, why do we choose the other way of Mr. Adolf Hitler? And why not of Mr. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi? Ok... If you feel Gandhism is too soft for this then why not to Bal Gangadhar Tilak? Be aggressive but with your words, your thoughts and not with your actions... Is it the way by which Democracy functions? Certainly not...
Today our political parties do not work on any idealism; they simply work on the game of sentiments... Confused??? Let me explain... In the earlier times we did have some good ideas or the base on which our principles were led down... But unfortunately in today’s modern progressive times our political parties try to cash on the popular sentiments... And there they win our hearts... And as we are so foolish we fall for them and everybody knows what happens...
But are we that fool that we will let this happen again and again? Are we that fool that we will let these stupid people play with our so called sentiments and cash on their own benefits? Or are we going to or rather trying to change this? Now it is high time... It is the time when we need to showcase the true strength of the modern INDIA... We are not dumb people to be told what to do... We are not that stupid to not to understand the situations and the scenario... So wake up... It’s your time to bring about a change... A change that will change the face of the nation.... We do not want people who are corrupt, illiterate and criminals to lead us to a better life... because simply they will never be able to do so... as they fight in the assemblies, they fight on roads; they fight on public platforms, and fight and fight and fight... The blame game continues... But they will never change...
So dear Politicians in order to rule first learn to behave and then try to govern... So guys as the saying goes – ‘Be the Change you want to see...’
