India and its Ness
India in the ancient times was arguably the greatest civilization. Extending centuries back it has given mankind numerous gifts since time immemorial. Be it philosophy, spirituality or sciences like medicine, surgery, mathematics, astronomy India was at the forefront of all inventions and discoveries. A no. of religions, languages, communities though different in many ways but with essentially the same base still call this land their home. Invaders came and went, some stayed back and added to the ocean of ideas that is India. But like all good things our glory days are long gone. With the advent of 21st century many indians see a chance at reclaiming the glory. With slogans like ' Rising Star ' and ' The Next Super Power' the world's 2nd fastest growing economy has again got a shot at greatness!
But is all this 'hulla' about our rise truth or just a hype ?? With corruption, politics, poverty and ignorant and hypocritical masses is there any real justification to call ourselves ' The Next Best Thing '.
Lets take each 1 at a time. I choose the ever popular favorite of the public and currently very much the 'roti and ghee' of indian media CORRUPTION. CWG showed to the world what we have been lugging around for so long and what the politicians , govt officials (and 2 a certain extent private sector 2) , the policemen and even a sarkari peon has come to believe as (un)official income. Falling bridges and tiles ensured that India's image at the world stage fell as well. Mr Kal-Madi(Madi in Kannada means 'Do It' so Kal-Madi translates to Do It Tomorrow) and Hon' Cm D**kS**t ensured that they played the well game well enough to win 2 more gold medals for India (Sad that it was not included in CWG). The indian media and public were outraged for it had ruined India's image in front of the foreign eyes!!! But it is these very people ,who seemed outrage because the aussies and english saw our dirt ,who are responsible for the growth of corruption in our country which has exceeded our tremendous potential to reproduce!!! And with the successful opening and closing ceremonies it will ensure that those guilty (and there are quite a few not just kalmadi, Dixit one of them) will escape with a few scapegoats butchered to satiate (egged on by the media) the "noble and incorruptible" indian public appetite for punishment!
The second feature of our Indianness is corruption's 'Anna' Politics. More specifically the politicians who can make anything an "Issue" and somehow are able to convince the YOUNG AND INTELLIGENT public to follow them. Language, religion, caste, community all are used by politicians to generate vote banks which usually results in deaths, damage to public property and if thats not enough destruction of a place of worship by religious zealots. The present tamasha within the walls of Vidhan Soudha (and in GOA, KOCHI, CHENNAI, AMBY VALLEY and god(s)only knows where else) has proven again the 'No Matter How Bad Things Get Its Never So Bad That It Cant Get Worse'. After all it was in this very land that thousands of years ago our great sages had speculated that there is NO BEGINNING and NO END(I dont know about beginning but thr doesnt seem to be any end to this ).
The "Aam Junta" defines our country better than anything - Talk Big and Do Small. Lack of any civil sense coupled with an ignorant mind has made this factor above any other the main reason of our failures. Not following traffic rules(I suffer from this from time 2 time so have given it more importance), littering, spitting on roads, giving bribes and holding onto a no. of prejudices and superstitions and lack of empathy for the countrymen and yet condemning the same makes for a very wonderful and great country(This sentence above all else is loaded with sarcasm). With MNS, Shiv Sena in Maharashtra demonstrating very well what happens when the citizens become apathetic it is very astonishing that we speak of the famed ' Unity in Diversity ' for I see diversity but no unity. If not religion then caste, if not caste then community, if not community then language and so on there is always something to divide us but very little to unite us (But for Cricket and tht too for a short period and usually restricted to The Master).
The above 3 factors inevitably leads to the greatest of all malices, of all injustices, of all demons -POVERTY. A poor is poor no matter of which religion, caste or language. Corruption, Indifferent Leaders and citizens without empathy provide for no scope of improvement in the lives of the poor who suffer from malnutrition, unhygenic and deplorable living conditions, no education and practically no future and yes the gravest of all tragedies to befall them REJECTION of there existence(As became evident with preparations for CWG in Delhi).
So I ask all why are we proud of being Indians ?! Should I be proud that half of our own people are in the grasp of poverty??? Should i be proud that i am expected to pay up to the officials to get my work done??? Should i be proud that people here seem to adhere to laws of foreign lands but flaunt it in there own???? And should I be proud that we dislike or hate our own brothers/sisters because of there religion or language or caste ????
Is this the sort of Indianness that we all wish to carry on ?? I don't and hopefully some of you realize that you dont as well!
