Who’s to blame? – is that the question??



It’s going to be 61 long years since we regained the right from British to call India “our country” our home. It was a long battle which lasted almost a century maybe more but we did it. Lately, maybe for the last 10 years there have been a lot of voices pointing many things that are obviously not going right for our nation at the moment. Lack of safety in many areas, lack of employment, corruption everywhere, ignorant and careless government, human rights violation, inflation and what not. But the saddest part is the deed stops right there- after voicing their concerns people expect some magically powerful being to take over and set things right. Is that even possible? After all we live in a real world and not a world of fiction. We blame around 600 people for the above while our country has over 1.2 billion people who if worked well and with a set of principles can turn our nation into a superpower. It’s no use telling we don’t have the infrastructure, the facilities, and the structure for it to happen. How did other countries get there?? Nothing grows into anything without starting from the scratch.  So, I think it is the ideal time for India to undergo a change; in short the country is going to have to grow up and start facing things head on. This is only possible when each one of the 1.2 billion people make an effort , take a step , a stand and feel it’s my home , it’s my duty to set things right . The step might be small but the results might be and I hope will be staggering. Specifically, it is the duties of the country’s younger population to take it upon their head since it’s for them they are going to be improving the standards of their home. It’s very simple -if your house appliance breaks down, do u blame somebody or do you start working to see what can be done and how it can be done? I think I make my point clear now. It’s time to stop casting the blame and it’s time to start asking the right questions.
