Be a Rebel!

Lot is said about India being poor, under developed and corrupt state. Of course, it is unfortunate that a land of such large human resource is not prospering as this asset is not properly utilized. Even though India as a nation has attained the objective of food self-sufficiency in the macro-level, there is no food security at the house-hold level. Currently more than 800 million people, out of whom 300 million are children, go to bed hungry and on an average over 50 percent of the children in the country are malnourished. What is more depressing is the fact that all these problems exist in spite of the food grains rotting in the warehouse.

All said who is to be blamed for all these chronicle problems of the country? Is it politicians alone or the entire society to be blamed?

We cannot simply point to government as we, the people, are integral part of the Government. Had we voted correctly, or for the matter voted at least, these corrupt politicians will not be here. Let’s be honest and fair and take a just amount of responsibility for this mistake and vow not to repeat the same again. That said however we don’t have much options and the voting pattern in India has always been for the ‘better devil’ of all.

Questioning ourselves: Is this because of not many honest politicians exist now or not many honest people are entering politics? I guess this is more to do with the second one. How can we change a system without entering it? Do we expect a miracle/ messiah to deliver us from eva?

We need to realize that the onus is on us to change the system. We will be fighting a big enemy but not who is invincible.

“Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamare dil mein hai
dekhna hai zor kitna bazuen qatil mein hai”

[We have the zeal of valor in our heart.
Let us see how strong the rival is!]

What we can do:

- Bring on the revolution that will change the face of politics
- Question Authority
- Take matter in your hands
- Face social problems as you would do to your personal problems

and finally,

Be a Rebel!!!
