Join me in Building a Better Bharat

How easy is it for a common man to sit in a group, eat peanuts and slam the corrupt politicians? How easy it is to boo Mr. Suresh Kalmadi for his incompetency? How easily one can condemn Sonia Gandhi for deploying Manmohan Singh as a puppet Prime Minister? But has the same common man ever thought of making a difference and bringing a change?  

A govt official working in a Municipal Corporation may get allured when bribed for making a fake birth certificate. But the same man wouldn't hesitate in accusing A Raja for his indulgence in multi-crore spectrum scam. After all, this is India (World's Largest Democracy) where everything is tolerated.  

I don't say criticism is wrong. But according to me, a person doesn't inherit the right to criticise until he/she is capable of performing much better than the subject being criticised.  

One of my school teachers used to say that India requires a dictator to set right the system. But according to me this dream of hers should never come true. Within this democracy, which make us feel proud, we need a leader who can bring a change. A leader whose morals are high. A leader who believes in genuinely working for the nation. A leader who is a witness of dark shades of India. A leader who has the guts to supersede all hurdles. A leader of unity and integrity, a leader who can feel the impulse of common man… A leader who is determined to make a difference! 

Unlike most students who would not choose politics as their career, my choice has always been vice-versa. 

Since I have developed my conscience, I have always desired to be a politician. Not by being a part of the club which is adaptable to wrong means in the greed of power. But want to be a part of the group that can make a difference without compromising on its principles.  

Some suggested me to join a political party, some asked me to indulge in social work and develop connectivity, some even showed me the way to be a part of dirty politics. But the destiny made me a journalist. God guided me to raise the oppressed voices and bring a social change by using the power of media. But my inner desire still persist me to be a part of real life politics. If the voice of India is listening, I request them to show me the path, to give me suggestions and lend a helping hand in making a better political India.Waiting for the response of voices of India…

Comment WHO IN RIGHT MIND DON'T WISH TO MAKE CHANGE FOR BETTER?

YOUR INTENTIONS ARE GOOD GOD BLESS YOU TO FULFILL.

BUT THE ATMOSPHERE OF INDIAN SOCIETY, THE THINKING OF THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE OPINION OF MASSES ARE IN WRONG DIRECTIONS.

NOBODY CARE ABT POORS, PARLIAMENT PASS CHILD LABOUR BILL, MINIMUM WAGES BILL, WOMENS RIGHT BILL

HAS ANY BODY JUST CHECK THE POSITION OF THE HOUSE HOLD WORKERS OF MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT, ASSEMBLY, OR MUNICIPAL CORPORATION ARE THEY ABIDING BY THE RULE OF COUNTRY.
NO THEY ARE THICK SKIN PEOPLE, THEY PREACH SOMETHING DO ALL TOGETHOR ANOTHER.

DON'T TRY TO BE IN DREAM NO BODY GAVE U STRENGHTH ENOUGH TO MAKE CHANGE TO THE EXISTING SYSTEM OF U PLEASE ME I PLEASE U CULTURE.

ONLY AND ONLY POSSIBILITY IS LET THE WRONG DOING SO INCREASE UNABLE TO BEAR BY THE MASSES AND THEY STAND UP THAN ONLY SOME CHANGE MAY COME.

Dear Prerna ji,

One the first paragraph: "
How easy is it for a common man to sit in a group, eat peanuts and slam the corrupt politicians? ..."
 
In recent years, I have heard similar arguments from many people (the aam aadmi). And I guess this mindset is injected or inherited by many.

With this argument, no common man in India should comment on bad batting or bowling or fielding by any Indian cricket player. Or, no one should comment on any movie on acting/direction/song/music ?

I think people have right to ask for expected leadership and actions from the elected leaders - does not matter whether the common man who is asking to deliver is capable or not to deliver the same.

To put it in principle, every citizen should follow his dharma, the voter's dharma is to ask to deliver good governance and the ruler's dharma is to delivery good governance. If the leader is incapable of delivering what he should, then he should not be performing that role anymore and let the right person come in to perform.


It will be creating even more problem if we ask the common man to shut up just because he himself cannot deliver what he is asking for.

The common man should be encouraged to demand for good governance, despite his background or performance in his own job.

If we create a system where everyone has right to ask for right delivery from others for which they are appointed to - it may be prime minister or Finance minister or collector or teacher or fourth class govt employee or a laborer - then this society and nation will start shining again.

Just a pointer - in past golden era of India, this system was prevalent, the then administrators/leaders/Gurus just ensured that everyone did their dharma – from peon to the king!

On your career:

I would suggest to first decide what you want to be (the goal). The article indicates that you are determined to stick to values. If this is the case, then stick to the values and do your best according to the capacity - or, perform your dharma and leave rest to the god. I am not an expert to suggest how to grow in politics, but I believe that if you follow your dharma - that is to do your best and leave rest to god, then you will achieve the best you can.
