As President Abraham Lincon described
Democracy ,it said ‘Democracy is by the
people, of the people and for the people’ and in India we as of now have not
got the essence in true sense.The reasons to ponder over are here-
1. No democracy can thrive on the imbalance
of Duty and Rights. As responsible citizens we ought to respect the country and
the fellowmen’s interest far more than we do today and need of the hour is every
Indian takes as much responsibility for the common welfare of the country as
he/she takes for personal benefit. For example everyone walks on the roads,uses
the public transports, takes treatment in hospitals and a large number of
citizen never bother about their welfare ,leave aside taking care of them. Our
roads, buildings, hospitals are covered
with paan, gutka spits, piled off garbage on the roads and foot paths by the
very people who uses them which surely does not happen in any other responsible country.
2. Mammoth population increase has made
India crying for a disastrous dearth of clean air , water, housing, infrastructure
,health care, education and basic amenity availability .And the saddest
part is that no one feels or takes any responsibility for this population
explosion ..neither the public nor the government.
3.Myriad number of myths, unscientific
,ritualistic blind practices consumes a vast majority of our resources both
intellectual, financial and time, so we
are left we no time, money and ideas for development.
4. Baseless beliefs and religious
fanaticism has eaten to the roots of the true vedic culture of Indian democracy
and any rational voice unfortunately gets murdered within no time by gun fire
or bans on either side. Lack of understanding of the basic law of nature and
carried away mindset has done more harm to the Indian vibrant culture than
anywhere else in the world.
5. Though India is far far more blessed by Mother Nature than many other countries in the world in terms of Geography,
History, climatic conditions, abundant natural resources and a young human
power it lacks any definite agenda for discipline, commitment by the public and serious leadership to take the country
ahead.
6. There is a serious lack of
responsibility as far as Indian citizens follow law of the land. Neither the
citizens themselves, nor the law enforcing agencies and the Government have
really any serious will, introspection for their disregard
for the lawless attitude which is so firmly placed in other democratic
countries of the world. There is a serious and damaging lack of responsibility
in Indian mindset while following traffic rules, respecting the sanctity of public
places or conducting themselves in a dignified manner.
7. In Indian mindset good conduct, helping
someone in crisis or taking interest in public good places a far less important
place than vandalizing institution, striking work for small little things ,
criticizing public or government authorities and still doing nothing to improve
the condition of the Great country.
8. Corruption has infiltrated every sphere
of life and one does not get anything
done without bribing and foolishly people on the other side keep blind eyes to
the fact that they are sitting on the other side of coin and it is ultimately
their life and battle also.
9. Pollution is a serious problem in India
and without responsible citizenship and strong law and committed government to tackle
the menace , no one knows when India will bury itself under the pile of filth
and plastic as we have no policy in place to deal with it !
10. The corner stone of any democracy is
equality. And India as of now is far far behind any kind of equality be in
terms of education, work opportunity and economic standards and the reasons are
far complex than looks on the surface and it will be impossible to bring
equality among all unless we all
Indians have a strong desire to be Indians and only Indians leaving all the
barriers of narrow caste, creed,
sections, religions and linguistic barriers….
