We the Indians are very proud of the fact that we are a democratic country. But when democracy is not understood in its right perspective what happens? In our country democracy means any body anywhere can stop the essential life line services just in the name of protest. Any body anywhere can destroy the government & private properties in the name of protest. Any motley groups of people in the name of certain ideology can kill innocent people. Any local goon with the help of muscle power & some assistance from local government can win the election & legitimize his illegal business. Are we a democratic country or are we not moving slowly to anarchy? The recent past violent protest by one community just to have secure more easy livelihood which in other terms known as Reservation brought one large portion of the nation to standstill. Properties worth billions were destroyed & no government machinery was in picture to stop it. Who will compensate the losses? Tomorrow some body else will rise & repeat the action. There is an parallel government in chattisgarh , Jharkhand, Bihar & some parts of Madhya Pradesh by Naxalites & government is simply sleeping over it. What can they do, Left parties are there allies. Some of the states & regional leader very proudly states, that only person belonging to that particular state will get a job there. What this statement means, are we trying to say that this particular state is not part of India?
The whole problem lies in the politics of convenience & absolute lack of statesmanship. Politician today are very short sighted & mean minded. I think we should move from multi party system to presidential system of government. The whole nation should elect a president who in turn will select his ministers from various field of society on there merit. This will stop the corruption prevailing due to horse trading in case of minority government. People should be able to elect there leader directly, not the party. The party system should be abolished. The president should divide India into four Zones for the purpose of Administration. North, South, East & west should be respective four zones. The president should have two internal security agencies which operates on pan India basis. One deals with the petty crimes like theft, robbery, rape & murder. The second agency deals with the bigger crimes like Terrorism, drug pedaling, cross border terrorism & internal security. With the elimination of multi party system we will be saving thousand of security personals, who are wasting there time in protecting these good for nothing politicians. The security agencies will be working in three shifts basis so they are not tired & overworked. The recruitment for securities agencies should be done on the basis of all India written test, followed by personal interviews & the final selection should be done on individual’s candidate back ground check. There should be school for policing which should conduct classes on law, personal management, psychology, personal combat & weapon training. There should be single pan national agency for controlling any department. Be it Police, Army, Transport, Railways, Aviation, Sports, Science & Technology. There should not be two agencies working on one area at loggerheads.
I am not in favor of controlling the freedom of mankind but there has to be some check & balances on the part of brilliant Indian scholar who at the cost Indian money gets the best education here but immediately start giving there brilliant ideas to other nations. If every Indian will start thinking like them, than who will take care of our country. Most of the people from this category complain that our country can not provide the ideal conditions for such brilliant minds to work. They actually are fooling themselves, who will change the conditions in our country, do some aliens from other planet will come & change it. It is we only who has to change it. If our forefathers would had thought in the same manner than we would have been still living as slave. But they are not hundred percent wrong, brilliant mind needs good logistic & moral support to create there brilliance in there respective areas. We have to create that atmosphere.
The biggest enemy of our nation is casteism. One day this will disintegrate our great nation. Reservation of any kind is a cancerous disease. There are two type of reservation, one which is propagated by the government in a legal way, which is transparent, the other one which is propagated by strong & powerful communities belonging to different strong castes. This is hidden reservation; this is more dangerous than the other one. In this case if some member of the particular community reaches on powerful positions in the government, they will slowly & methodically select people from there communities with there influence & put them in important positions. There will be a time when the respective department will run solely on the dictate of this particular community. The pattern remains same over the year’s only community’s change. Both the type of reservation should be eradicated from our society in complete manner but before that the nation should have a proper impartial social safety net for the people from poor & weaker section irrespective of there caste & creed.
Recent terrorist attack at Bombay has awakened the whole India like anything. See what poorly paid & the least motivated Indian citizen did for the nation for example The Police, the security forces & the elite commandos. Last but not the least the Bombay fireman showed exemplary courage by doing there job without having bullet proof jackets. They are not combat unit but they were performing there duty actually in the line of fire. How could we pay our debt to them? The government just does not like to increase there pay who actually saves the nation. What type of people we choose to govern us who give a damn about our security. I think the time has come for us to make a referendum to change the current political system. We must abolish state assemblies & state government. We should elect our national head directly. He in turn can select his Team. Why should we have MP’s & MLA’s when we have executive body to execute the job? Why should we spend crores of rupees to these incompetent nincompoops who are good for nothing?
We have to seriously think about it & act upon it. This party system has brought whole lot of corruption to our system. It is we who has to abolish the system.
I think the time has come that we also should do the soul searching. These politicians are coming from the same society to which we belong to. If we are given power we will also behave like them. Don’t we try to show off when we have any member of our family serving for police or government? Don’t we try to take advantage of the situation? I think we all have to change. Once we are changed then only we will have courage to change others. We must have courage to support those who are honest & upright. Just tell me how many honest & upright governments official gets support from us. I mean active support.
First we must not allow anybody to divide us on the line of cast, community & religion. The British did that to rule us & now the politicians are doing it to rule us. We must fight in unison & defeat them in there game.
