Land of Scams?

The 1st of March will mark the second month anniversary of the Delhi girls’ death. But still one question still rings and rings repeatedly in my mind and that's if anything has really changed in these two months’ time. Has it? Well I’m afraid we've to again settle for something we Indians are quite used to right now - that's a big NO.

From the land of culture, the land of peace and heritage, from the land of joy and the land of learning, we've gone all the way down to the land of rape, the land of corruption, the land of misfortune and the land of hatred. 

Make no mistake about it, I’m not one of those guys just commenting or writing a blog and finally shying away from facing the harsh reality. I'm just one of those guys living in the daylight hoping for a change and like a lot of you out there wishing and praying for a better future for India. 

Sometimes I begin to feel if the things happening around us have no impact on the "aam Jantha". I, as an individual can’t help but look for hope and support in the society to help fight and win the challenge to make India what we always boast it to be made of. 

Now, it’s going to be 2months come this march 1st, after all the walks, protests and tearing your throat out in the media and in the public. Why did you guys stop? There have been a hundred cases filed after that and probably a thousand which weren't. Why did the fizz run out so soon? Weren't they your sisters or brothers too? I'm in no way saying that all of these incidents should be dealt with protests and walks. We as a nation should find a way- I’m not sure what it is though, to make sure these miscreants think twice before doing anything unethical. 

This Delhi rape case, as I see it, no doubt very hurtful, is a pixel that adds onto the blackened image of India. 

You see the terror blasts of Hyderabad today. The media reports say that the ministry knew and had warnings, we probably were sitting duck and puppets in the hands of these ego filled money minded fellows in the political parties.

Didn't it prick you when the air force was hit with a scam?

Didn't it prick you reading about the coal mining scam? 

Commonwealth games scam?

2G spectrum scam? 

OMG! Congratulations! We've become a land of scams now!

It certainly isn't a joke, many lives are at stake. As much as I want to blame the government for the way we've become now. It’s each one's fault right from the time of our independence. Perhaps the controversial reports of the independence being delayed to us because we weren't ready are true. We've been tamed to use the minds of others and rely upon the neighboring countries for our growth, seeking a chance every other time shamelessly to pop our names up when an Indian origin guy gains success in a foreign soil and we've done nothing. But yes, Indian wasn't ready. Maybe, back then. But years have passed. We should feel both jealous, shameless and look in awe with the growth shown by our neighboring countries over the years. They were in worse conditions and have now grown to greater heights. Why are we still playing catch up?

It can’t get sillier when Mr. Sushil Kumar had some Intel about the possible blasts just passes on the blame by saying the states were informed. What is he in place for if he can’t ensure that the information passed on not put in use? This could have saved the lives of 11 men and prevented over 60 from being seriously injured. Worst part is the TV reports say that terror returned to Hyderabad, it’s not your playground to keep returning to. It’s a livelihood, its precious lives of men and women. Its peace and harmony.

The Britishers were clever this way, killing all the awesome men we had, who fought for our country, they probably knew the impact they had. Once they were all done and dusted. The government became an association for people who wanted to make money, have power and feed on the lives of the poor. The ones who really wanted to make a difference joined in becoming greedy or left due to disgust. This carried on for generations and look what we have left now. The ministers have more criminal cases against them than these notorious criminals. I am myself caught up with my daily routine of work and I’m sure it’s the same with most of you out there. But when your motherland is involved how can you keep quiet, sit in the rooms and have coffee? This is a heavy price we're paying for bringing in the MNCs here with the netas licking their monkey asses to stay in power. 

To me, it all boils down to this, India was a great country and now is living on borrowed time only because of a certain good deeds fortunately done by a few good men we've produced. 

The reports of a 5th std girl getting raped, repeated girl child deaths, bribery, assault on women, corruption, illegal activities and allegations, scams all seems to be running India. The only people making profit are perhaps the media and the political parties feeding on us ignorant and restless "fast"moving Indians. 

 If you didn't realize even now, all this is falling to your own pockets. Don’t go complaining of inflation, price hike and high cost of living when it’s your mistake for not burning the roots of such bad governance. It’s a heavy price we're paying. We've living in denial. I'm in no way giving you gyaan on how to live and on what to spend on. But I am telling you not to spend on power, corruption. If you're facing any issues report it to the unions and the associations nearby. In-fact, I fully support these bureaucrats entering the politics now, people like Nandan Nilekani, Jayram Ramesh, Narayan Murthy etc are wonderful leaders. Report it to the unions headed by them, I’m sure you'll see the changes. But before that you must help them in eradicating the evils of politics. They’re sustaining it to help you live better, to help India see a way through. Helping India to gain back its respect. 

Support the film-makers who're constantly trying to make India a better place, Oh! I forgot we're Indians, we can’t do without our daily dose of masala!

If there is one thing I want to urge the nation to do, it’s to stop the Hindu-Muslim war. We are Indians, diverse in religion, looks, caste. But should not be so in harmony and peace for we are one and we are Indians. Other communities included. You have to stop paying the cops, the ministers. Stop abusing power. You find a fault, go report, there are quite a few people standing up now for the betterment. If you aimlessly support the noise makers, the music makers won’t be heard. I think you get my point, support the right one. Stand up for India, Don’t give in to power. Put India first. It is your home Keep it clean.
