Dear Sirs (Madam), I am just another "Aam Aadmi" of India and want to show my emotions regarding the way my country has been managed since last 66 years and is presently being managed. Apart from the voting rights, I (we the people of India) do not have any other means of reflecting these emotions, unfortunately that comes after every 5 years... and I do not believe in revolution because I ( as other common men) am very selfish and I want that someone else ( like Arvind ji or Anna ji) will take my fight up.......I (we) am happy watching heated debates on TV, happy watching my salary coming to my bank account on 31st (30th) of every month ( I also do crib about the tax during that time), I (we are) am happy staying in a posh residential building in India (which has been built by the Politico-Builder-Land grabber nexus).
But sir (s), on this occasion of 67th Independence Day, I want to take the help of not-so-famous blog of mine (read by some 30-40 people in next 7-8 days, who will forget very soon), to ask you just few questions - "Have you ,done good enough for my country?".
You have a definite right to ask me back - "what have I done apart from paying tax and voting every 5 years?". But sir, as I said, that we citizens have become very selfish - we do not think much more than our family needs; because we do not see any hope. I do not see my country supporting me when I try to fight with street goons, corrupt officials & politicos, when I see kids on the street selling Indian flags (It comes cheap - just Rs.10!) when they should have been in school, when I see states being divided for political gains, when I see corruption being pushed under cover to save the close ones of India's famous family, when I see scam tainted ministers (Cannot name them, as he list is too long) roaming freely.
Sirs, time might have come now that you stop being so reckless about the position you hold. You and only you can lead this country and its citizens to a new defined glory. Honestly, I do not care which party you belong to as long as you are strong, righteous and able earn back the prestige of my country.
Because, sir, if you do not do it soon, it might get late and you (all of you) will be questioned by the generations to come.
Jai Hind.

Nicely said chote! I would say aam aadmi is selfish in every country. Unless they see something good from the government, they won't do anything in return (and only a handful of people will do it anyway).
ReplyDeleteHowever, this doesn't justify the current situation of our country. People should join politics if they have the "kidda" to do something for the country and if they are capable. Unfortunately, that is not the case today. Politics has become a family business now! It's the only profession that can give you power, money (read 1000s of crores) and the freedom of doing whatever you want.
I (like most other aam aadmi) don't know what are our options now. I know liking various posts on Facebook won't help us, but as you said we don't think anything beyond our families.
BTW, I'm part of even worst population of aam aaadmi who thinks staying out of the country is best for my family!
