Modern technology, day to day problems, the quest to generate bread for the next time he is hungry has made man so busy that he has stopped thinking about anything else. We, as in Indians, live in a very corrupt, populated, most unorganized and highly unethical and enormously irresponsible society. We don't think about other, untill unless he is a friend, max. But its time now, and we need to open up, widen our vision and start doing the simple thing called THINKING.
From our childhood we have been taught only the pretty merry happily ever after stuff about our history. We think India is the best country in the world.The fact is ITS NOT and I don't see it happening in near future. Now the thinking part, why I am more ignorant about the facts of my country than other of their country. Why?
Why was I taught about only the useless things during my childhood. How some chacha loved children and had a rose in his coat instead of teaching how he was responsible for the division of the country into India and Pakistan?
Why how many bullets were shot when a certain prime minister was walking in a park is more important than the emergency declared by her in an inappropriate time caused a major revolution during that period and the fact that she was the reason to impose censorship in newspapers and not letting the people know the truth of government which caused a major issue?
How some great person was responsible for india's independence instead of letting me know that the independence of India was dragged for more than 30 years by following non-violence and that he did not support the great leaders of that time and just let them die just because he didnot agree with their idealogy? Speaking of which, why independence is considered as a virtue earned only by non-violence when its actually earned equally by himsa (violence) and ahimsa (non-violence) vadis?
Why was I only taught about Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Patel, Maulana Abdul Kalam, Indira Gandhi, but not about Udham Singh, Subhash Chandra Bose, Komaram Bheem, Rash Bihari Bose, Surya Sen, Chittaranjan Das, Achhar singh Chinna? Why is my history book had only one chapter about revolutionaries by violence and all the other non-violence white collared people had one chapter each. Why is Godse always shown in a negative shade as an asasin but never showed the reasons behind the assasination and the fact that he was an ardent follower of Gandhi before taking this decision is always hidden?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Is it because of money, power, people? We only see what is shown? Because thinking about what we are seeing will make us spend time, which we don't have. What is the solution for this? How can we build a better India? What is our part in building a better India?
Think!!!!

There are multiple reasons for that. To start with, it is the general public that has to change. Their attitude of "chal ne de baba" or "who cares" should change. Had the general public ever felt more responsible, we wouldn't have had those 500 odd idiotic, irresponsible, so called leaders sitting and building their piles of assets (read as money). I just hope all this goes for no value some day. We would have been out of this black hole long time back had we not been influenced by many things, way before the British invaded India-Pakistan.
ReplyDeleteThese things cannot be changed over night and by one person. It needs lot of changes and negative forces to get things straight.
I don't think you are right here. Untill 1500s Women were treated equally along with men. What happened then? Why was there a change? Because other cultures started cropping in our country. And the change was not only in female dominance, way of thinking, development, and so on, basically everything. Foreign invaders molded our country as they wanted it. Mughals, British, Sapnish, Portuguese, these cultures started spreading their effect on ours. You are right it cannot be done overnight, but we were free from 60 plus years now. Still there isn't any change. Or atleast a big change in development. In our case, it needs to change from basics. Education system, parents, mentality, idealogy everything should change from the basics. And this will come only if we start thinking, in a positive way.
ReplyDelete"start thinking in a positive way", give me a break mama, it will never happen. Well, it will only if it is cricket ;-)
ReplyDeleteOn a serious note, if you are going back all the way to 1500's, then yeah, all these changes are truly because of invaders. I really wonder from when and where did this religion thing popped in. And, who made those rules that sometime seem so weird in a few religions. I'm not just talking about India. For example, Brahmin's are considered not to eat meat or take alcohol. If you go back all the way to early man age, meat was the way of survival then. I wonder yeh sab kahan se aur kab se shuru hua.
On a positive note, all I can say is all izz well :) Jo bhi ho raha hai, lets think or consider ki acche ke liye ho raha hai :) Amen!! :p
Onething is i cannot think ke jo bhi ho raha hai ache ke liye horaha hai, even though everything is wrong....... I cant anything as of now, but could deffinitely put my thoughts out there and make people think, if i can make one person think then i will be good.......... Second i can think positively and if a jerk like me can think positively then anyone can, please try to see the underlying meaning of my blog, WHY?
