No country can ever developed without the citizens being literate.The problems of over population,AIDS,Law and order,lack of communal harmony,Lack of women empowerment,female foeticide,poverty,unemployment, health etc can only be solved as soon as possible,once our people can learn to read and write and get educated,where as the current literacy rate is 61%.In the last 64 years we have not been able to achieve this.In the last 64 years we seem to have missed putting in place,world Class foundation of work excellence,work ethics and work culture.At same time when we got independence,the countries like Germany,Korea,Japan were totally destructed and torn up in war with such great difficulty they stood up, recognized with a national spirit and educated their entire nation with excellent governance and administration that is where these nations stand at the top in all aspects.But still we dint learn from these countries at least by seeing them.
Can we see a single place with neat and clean in any of the Town/city in India?Can we see a safer place for women to be?Can we see a single place without child labor?can we see a single place without a beggar in the street?This is utter shame and we have been procrastinating this for past 6 decades and this is what keep on continuing further... Disappointingly we are losing all our great values which we had in our ancient days....
Once i went to Mumbai for a work and was going to vashi where you can see the utter discipline less activity of our people by spitting the chewed pan from mouth on the wall of railway station,the toilet is in such a worst condition that it need be located there since it can be demolished.Also in every street you can see a beggars in roads.When is this country going to be changed?still we dint get proper water,sanitation and good education to our own citizens.Now its not the time to blame the British or else.Its all our own people we need to blame.
For the past 6 decades we are still a developing country only,with all the wealth and such a great human resources we are unable to get through in right directions by our politicians.As the selfish attitude of crazy politicians leads this nation in wrong direction,you would see in Indian politics for vote propaganda the stance like free color TV,Free mixe,grinder,Rice etc a pen with 500 Rs note hidden inside,but you cannot a find a politician stating i will give free education and youth employment to his constituency.Here money and brawn power speaks,no ethics and no educated person take part to get in right direction except a very few.As the educated men feels politics is a dirty place where all moral values are buried.This fear has to be erased and its a real wake up call for all the youths to take part and strive to change this nation as global hub in all aspects(Tourism,Business,Education and health care).
Is this fair to the poor people of India?When 300 Million are jobless and 350 million are partly employed (Unorganized sector)and 240 million are below poverty line.
Many people are having lack of awareness because of lack of education which make the craziest politicians to take advantage and they are driving in the different paths with no growths as there illiterates don't know what they need exactly,this is where the educated youth should stand up and create awareness about what this country needs absolutely.
Just have a look to know where do we stand by comparing a equivalent neighboring country...
The below stance rightly applicable to the youths and people looking for a enlightenment in society,
"The punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government, is to live under the government of worse men"- A quote of Famous Greek Philosopher.
Hence the sincere request to the youths of India are you are at high time and has a serious role to get inside governance and each and every candidate in the constituency should be with willful commitment with a purpose to serve this nation.Unless we cannot stood up in the world and can be seen as super power. Lets try to make VISION 2020 Possible with youths involvement.
"The Purpose of a government is to make it easy for people to do good and difficult to do evil"
Lets join our hands in putting this upright.
