Cleansing of our own corrupt mind.

I am overwhelmed by the thousands of Indians participating in Anna Hazare Anti corruption movement. It is difficult for an ordinary Citizen to leave his daily chorus & devote time for a greater cause. Life in India Is tough & one has to slog for making his or her livelihood. In this scenario kudos to those who were able to manage time for participating in this greater & noble cause. A thought comes to my mind how much out of these crowd will adapt an honest & truthful approach to there own life. It is little easier to put finger on others but much difficult to put finger on ourselves. Whether it is politician , babus or civil servant , they all are part of our own society. Can we say honestly if any member of our family becomes a member of parliament , we would not take the advantage of the situation. If any member of our family joins police force the very moment we would start behaving with more arrogance. Who kills the girl child immediately after birth in this country , the politician only or any normal Indian citizen. Killing girl child , is it not a type of corrupt mind . why one kills a girl child , because a boy will take care of me in my older days, because he will bring dowry in the family when he will be married , because he will carry the family name after we become a mortal soul. Is this not a type of crude corruption. Who takes dowry , only politicians, The answer you know already. If any of us faces a situation when our boss in the office comes & say that your promotion is confirmed but you have to harass your colleague who is anti boss due to his corrupt ways of handling the department. I bet it won't take more than a minute before i or you start abusing the honest colleague.
We all are so full of evils in our minds & attitude that the whole society has become corrupt but we choose to throw stones on others. People like Anna Hazare becomes so popular due to the fact because we do not have the courage to cleanse our own corrupt mind but we like to change the society with the help of a person who did it effectively in his own life.
I bet nothing will change even if Anna Hazare brings success by bringing Lokpal bill. A society or civilization can not change by simply bringing a Law. IT changes when major part of the society feels for a change within themselves to enable them to create a better world. Once you make a change within your own corrupt mind that day you or we will not require any Anna hazare to do all the hard work. Truth & integrity makes you strong so strong that even government of the largest nation looks pygmy in front of you. Anna has shown us the power of truth . Most of us succumbs to evil ways for two reasons , one our own lust for power & fame , the second due to fear of loosing job if we protest against our corrupt superiors. you have the answer for the second part in Anna Hazare. If you follow the path of truth , you become so stronger that one day everybody will bow to you. As for the first part i would say , Power & fame is temporary phenomenon & it never lasts for forever. When it goes the life for those who are addicted to it becomes a bed of thorns.
Let us pledge today that first we should clean our own corrupt mind if we want to see our country as a peaceful care for for all society.

Anti corruption movement

The current agitation against corruption spearheaded by Sri Anna Hazare & his team has proved one old proverb that a ant can disturb an elephant if it wishes so. This type of situation arises when those who are on the ruling side shows complete antipathy towards the ruled class. In this situation two type of anti ruler movements happened, one peaceful & the other violent one. The violent movement never succeed permanently but the peaceful one always has the capacity to bring down corrupt ruling class. our government is standing on a very thin ground. They in themselves become a community irrespective of there party alignment who enjoys luxury, power , money at the cost of people. they can do anything & get away with it due to there hidden collective cooperativeness in enjoying the fruit of power , money & fame. If a ordinary Indian citizen fails to pay correctly his or her income tax , they are liable to be imprisonment but our politicians & government official can earn much more than what there actual legal earning is , nobody can do anything. See the current state of our provinces like UP , Bihar , Bengal , Orissaa etc. The living condition of a normal human being is pathetic. No electricity, worst road condition, polluted water, worst law & order situation . Just compare the status of our politician in these states & you will understand why the citizen of India is agitated to the extreme.
The politician calls Anna hazare movement attack on parliament, some intellectuals also has similar view. Whose parliament it is, is it our parliament, i do not think so & why we should go on sticking to older tradition. Do we select directly the Prime Minister , answer is no, the party selects it. If a minister is corrupt then do the citizen of India has to wait for five years to remove him. In this fast changing world we have to wait for five years to remove a corrupt parliament member.
Now the time has come we should be very alert to our right. I feel we must change the system from party to individual. The Indian people should be appointing directly the prime minister , the home minister , the defense minister & the finance minister. The citizen of India should elect directly the candidate for these powerful positions. There should be provision of referendum after every single year to judge the performance of these ministers. If the performance is found below sixty percent then the citizen of India should have power to remove him. The multy party system has proven to be failure. it propagates horse trading.
The concept of state assembly is absolutely against the law of republic one & united India. Every small zone wants to be a new state, the politicians vested interest lies in this. New state means new assembly, More money for them to spend on there own welfare. Just take the example what has happened to jharkhand . who has been benefited after its emergence as a new state. Why would people of India spent twice on elections , one for MP & then for MLA's. Why can not the MP only takes the responsibility of running his or her constituency. There are bureaucrats also as a second line of administration. Why there are separate taxes & regulations across various states. You have one rule one taxation culture if India is one.
The politicians has only there welfare in there mind that's why they will never bring any radical changes which will take out India from the shackles of poverty, apathy & ignorance. It is we the people of India who has to rise & bring the radical changes in Law which is by the people , for the people.
