After 26/11 i felt devastated, ruined, raped and humiliated. Time and again i have seen invasions on my sovereignity but that night and foll days what i witnessed was totally diff type of assault. i felt helpless and mourn over my children who call me "Bharat Mata" but do nothing to protect my pride. Either they play blamegame or just talk without foll it with concrete actions or sit coyly in their homes. I want to ask till when will i have to suffer like this..till when...when will you all rise to protect your mother or else stop calling me "Mata".
You all must be thinking how melodramatic and filmy but this is what i feel would had been the emotional outpour if really our country was a living being. I am moved by this assault and wanted to do something..reach out to ppl and ask what should we do to stop terror strikes because everytime we blame govt or police but WHAT ARE WE CONTRIBUTING TO THE BETTERMENT OF OUR SOCIETY AND COUNTRY? i liked when Aamir Khan in his interview asked that do we pay our taxes honestly? if not then how can we expect our politicians and policemen to be honest? they are also a part of us only. After reading this i introspected and analysed that CHANGE has to come from within. If we change ourselves then automatically the change will be reflected in societal behaviour in large. We cannot change the system with some magical wand nor some Superhero will come and lead us to change. We have to change ourself as a unit..then spread this change to our nears and dears and as a result this geometric progression will bring a change to the country. It will take time but it will happen..so why don't we start today only.
I know its not easy to reform but we can start some changes in our behaviour to make a beginning. I know i have to bribe or lie to gain benefits in business, so also you all must be indulging in some malpractices. Unless the system changes drastically it will be difficult for us to sail against the tide or incur losses for our Gandhian approach. So what i suggest is lets avoid malpractices till it becomes unavoidable else we may suffer financial or personal losses. This may bring negative thoughts in our mind that we are fool as rest our enjoying vicious gains. So lets start the change by not bribing for -- short term gains like getting our things done before others, avoiding queues, breaking traffic rules, not paying our taxes, not abiding my social laws etc.
We must start using our RIGHT TO VOTE because we cannot stop criminals/dubiuos characters to contest elections but atleast stop them from winning by voting against them. I have observed that majority of youth is not at all concerned for the society or country then how can we expect our country to be a good one. We constitute the majority of population so we should make our presence felt in the society by voicing our opinion and participating in development programmes apart from our youthful merriment. Also literate community should atleast stop voting on the basis of religion, caste and creed. We should make our efforts to choose right candidates surpassing party, religion and caste syndrome. Also let us avoid being fooled by political parties who divide us on such basis.
We should also attach ourselves to some social cause like illiteracy, child education, orphanage, girl child abuses etc so that we also contribute in small way to uplift our fellowmen so that society develops as a whole. A country is successful in true sense if there is least divide between rich and poor. Thank you friends for giving your precious time and reading my views. I welcome you all to share your views with me and others and be a part of this community "PARIVARTAN" - WINDS OF CHANGE .. so that we all start in our small ways to change the thinking, perspective and ideology of the society. So that one day we stand united as INDIANS and every individual shows HONESTY to his work so that we avoid the repetition of 26/11. Jai Hind!!!!!
