Corruption and the modern-India

“When the moral values of a society fall to the bottom, it derives conflicts for self-destruction.”

The eruption of distorted wills and deterioration of the religion, propels the rise of corruption of all sorts. Being confined to the present scenario, one would find oneself amazed when they trace millions vouching for eradication of this evil and in such a system with the same people, find ample amount of corrupt practices! There can be many reasons cited for such a phenomenon, the broadest one may be as the beginning dictum of this write-out suggests. The current perspective is about two major aspects. The first should take into account the disabled pedagogic framework of our society and the second is the systemic failure of governance.

The British system, which follows a fine documentary way of functioning, completely lacks transparency and provides with numerous loop-holes that are never extensively tried to be mended either willingly or the other way round. The man-power which is incorporated to perform the functioning of such a system, seems to be basically crippled with their pragmatic skills and is viciously induced by their traditional corrupt predecessors and seniors. The compounding factor of deficient law and the judicial machinery itself only adds insult to injury. Rising of the new and extensive electronic media is a favouring factor but looks highly suspicious more often than it would a few years before. The cause of election of corrupt leaders has a direct correlation with the electoral skeleton of this democracy. I am known to some efforts made for electoral reforms in the nation but by and large nothing concrete could ever be performed practically, specially with the huge sum of money and resources involved in the election related activities.

The corruption in the defense-forces is of even more concern but seems to be relieving for its rather direct attachment with the patriotic tone, even though I regret my scarce knowledge of facts pertaining to this issue.

Altogether, the mass-movements erect by several main-stream political parties as well as the other individuals, the wave of anti-corruption sentiment appears to be soaring high but palpably getting misdirected and whimsical. People must strengthen their conscious against the devil of corruption and think more for the lesser fortunate portion of this vibrant society.

Republic day-Indian flag turned down!!

When the national flag hoisting becomes an issue of debate, made to put the veil on of controversy, on the name of law and order, nationalism is thrown to ruins and the democratically government chooses to bow down against separatists' dictate, the depth of misery becomes unfathomable. Adding contrast to the stain, the central government defending a tainted CVC, denying disclosure of the names of the robbers who cheated and robed our country!

There has always been an argument that the system in inherently corrupt and people's will must be revolutionalised in order to bring about a positive change. Here the fact is, the people whom we send to democratic institutions are not at all a separate breed. They are all among ourselves. Thus I am a strong believer of the view that the prime authority should be brilliantly capable of flexing the system in right direction, that's the reason why it is called as a “Leader”, who leads from the front, not at all to be lead indirectly by some foreigner who chose to suddenly pop up in the nation, may be seeking her son a dignified job and a gratified career! And it is even more shameful that such a party is brought to power by this county's citizens, not once but twice! Now they themselves are paying its price, be it in the form of onions, petrol, pulses or hiked travel fares and taxes or even bear the grudge of mammoth corruption on the name of an honest economist who embarrasses even a desert rock in being inactive. Mere flattery must never be a ground for any significant post, the democracy has this inherent weakness of choosing lame leaders, genuine, principally sound, truthful persons lack popularity.

Coming to the major issue, which led me writing this article. BJP's national flag hoisting “Integrity” campaign for our nation, is blatantly termed as a political stunt by pseudo secular power brokers. The issue of concern is recent violence and unrest in the Kashmir region. According to the state chief minister, it will be a provoking act and is being carried out with malicious intentions. Now one must ask them, even with any sort of intention, if someone wants to hoist our beloved National flag, at a public place, on a nationally significant day, within our country, why the state government can't provide adequate security and at the first place, why this kind of condition allowed to be developed, to the extent that it became difficult to hoist our own flag, on our very motherland?

If anti-national elements threaten to be violent, why can't we kill our enemies? If a political party can call for massacre of people from a particular community, when it's First Family member is murdered by a person belonging to that community then why can't we put to end the voices that are of hatred and anti-national? What sort of tranquility chief minister talks about? If peace at the cost of nation's pride is acceptable then were millions of those human beings who died for the sake of their nations were simpletons? Our Tricolor is made turned down even before it's hoisted on its own land! The country will have to decide its own future, with this lame western education system, to what extent our fellow Indians can do it, it's in the womb of time.

Eid ul adha

“Eid ul adha” is a celebration for sacrifice that we perform for others, we must not convert this holy festival to a day of slaughter and instead of brutally killing innocent animals, swear to protect their right for life within the realm of our mother nature. Being vegetarian can provide us this scope of Humankind thus ought to be conferred to ourselves. Many good wishes for this holy festival of Sacrifice and love to everyone.

United States of America- The biggest human rights’ violator

People are making hue and cry about the new leaked Pakistani army’s tapes in which they brutally execute the teens in SWAT valley, keeping the pebbling of bullets even after the boys were dead, each and every sigh of their pain to a little but gruesome journey to the death invokes rage for Pakistan and more so for United States of America in my heart. US have used all its English-Western media propaganda machinery to declare itself as the savior of Mankind and the cleanser for the devil arbitrarily. It’s providing immense amount of money to terrorist country like Pakistan merely for its vested interest. The selfishness of this shameless leadership in this remarkable country will lead the human society to the darkest of the hallows possible. It’s high time when we all unite against such countries who utilize their might to propagate violence in the world and hail no to their misleading propagandas. The leadership of this country has become so intoxicated in its self-perpetuated feeling of insecurity and over-reactiveness that it has completely forgotten that sins always make one pay badly, hope my friends in the United States of America will ponder over this point and compel their government and political leadership to behave humanly, else the day is not far when they will be reacted upon in an equally brutal manner, which will be enough to make the humankind suffer.

Mushrooms of critical danger; Politics through Media

Present cocktail of pseudo news channels in India, better denoted as overall electronic media, appears to be morally less substantial and more interested in using the “Short cut propaganda machinery”, developed by them, to stir the mass in the direction they wish. Before their commercial intentions were in question, now their malicious political propaganda are also flaring in the eyes of think-tanks of society at various strata.

Accusations and proofs have been corroborated for many news channels for being driven by the funds perfused by political powers. The right wing of Indian polity RSS, BJP and its related organizations are registering their complaints on social flora by invoking agitations in the minds of mass about serial, targeted, odd and extremely notorious in nature, so called “sting operations”. The latest being a conversation among a few individuals, happen to be part of their organization, talking about taking revenge from muslims and trying to wage violence against those who have brutally murdered not only the morals of humankind but also the freedom of living peacefully while practicing one's religion of choice. Such conversations have contrasting properties of being utterly wrong and quite natural, so I strongly believe, this is a failure of both “religious and political leadership” of this country. Islam has to filter the bad elements out with constant, devoted and scrupulous attempts else such conversations are already showing signs of greater resentment among other religions and can be transformed into extremely undesirable consequences. The biased media coverage, stings without proper proof and then for political propaganda, TRP, commercial interests, putting them on air without proper assessment of what risk they hail, is careless as well as hazardous for the unity of our country.

This phenomenon isn’t new, as historically the media-systems were created by the governments or politically active groups but there was a time in between, when in the “democratically” ruled parts of the world, the dictum was an impartial media that now seems to be a highly corrupt aspect for the Democratic freedom. Political parties must communicate with people using their own stamp unambiguously so that democracy is transparent; using such an insult must never be practiced and ought to be relegated by the citizens out rightly. We hope, media personnel and the folk in general will understand the need of keeping their thinking broader while perceiving the gist out of these "mushrooms of critical danger."

Hey, Indian citizen!

By the growing foreign threats, islamic terrorism, naxalism (maoism), regional base politics of separatists are highly alarming challenges that our country faces. The recent events scale up the level of concern even vehemently. The political will power to tackle them, seems to be defensive as well as indecisive. With lack of experience and exposure I can't confidently write over this point much but one thing that I endorse with solid authority, is to be vigilant and keep preparing ourselves for these challenges, so that when time arrives, we can contribute with our merits.
The economic, scientific and religious flourishing of the nation will be the key to hold, to unlock the endless possibilities in future that India can take on to, not only for its regional goals but also for a cumulative vision, which we see for the entire Humankind! All the best!!

Unethical eligibility criterion for Maharashtra Taxi Drivers!

After immoral means to substantiate the local language, culture and traditions, adopted by regional political parties such as Maharashtra Navnirmaan' Sena (MNS) and Shivsena, now the Maharashtra government issues a reinforcement circular for the unethical rules of Taxi-drivers' eligibility criteria, comprising of the clauses like the mandatory domicile of 15 years with capabilities of reading, writing and speaking Marathi language! The rules have been in place since 1989, the circular seems to be an endeavor to cash in the divisive nature of Maharashtra demography, specially in present plight when the result of state assembly election has shown significant benefit for the radical MNS manifesto.

The social democratic country India, provides the citizens of it through the written constitution with the right of living, earning, practicing any religious activity throughout its length and breadth; the above rule clearly contradicts this framework of constitution and evokes hazard to numerous migrants chiefly from Bihar and Uttar Pradesh by disallowing them blatantly, with the right of earning their livelihood while having the ability to read, write and speak the national language of India- HINDI! If Maharashtra government wishes to put in place convenience for local residents, they can introduce some basic training on a very few linguistic clauses used for handling the onus of a taxi driver and secondly, it's an open fact that almost everyone in Maharashtra knows Hindi, at least to the extent of using a cab-service! In the next few months, there will be approximately more than 4000 licenses issuance in the state of Maharashtra for Taxi drivers, now with these criteria in place, which provide a complete barricade to the numerous migrants, who knows their national language very well, what will be their fate?

According to our constitution, Marathis can also go to any part of the nation and they do migrate as well, may be to some lesser degree. If they think someone ELSE, is eating on their bread, they simply need to raise their skill-levels and compete in a fair environment rather than using immoral means like using violence against the migrants and openly mocking at our tolerant, inclusive, peaceful and cosmopolitan character of Indian culture. They should focus upon providing better access to the learning faculties of their local language, culture, traditions and to promote them with moral means, like mass awareness. Ironically, the Bollywood, which provides much of its glitter to Mumbai, the National economic capital (not only pertaining Maharashtra), is the "HINDI motion picture, music and arts' industry"! Providing ample amount of revenue as well as exposure to wealth and prosperity to the locals. Parties like MNS and Shivsena are ruining the fabric of country by dividing it on the basis of regional characters and thus weakening the strength of United India. Soon such flame would engulf other states as well, then how could the integrity of the nation be maintained? Congress is saying, no new rule is made or the older is amended but mere reinforcement of the rule is exercised, the simple question here erected is, whether Congress is in favor of such divisive, inhuman and a disastrous rule both for the directly affected poor migrants and the integrity of country? If no then they must have eliminated such rule rather than reinforcing it. If today I say, I am going to reinforce LTTE in Sri Lanka, am I not a culprit? I'd then say, I have neither amended nor framed a new beast, should it be a properly standing argument at all? Now when this is the plight of Nation's giant oldest political party, one can effortlessly ponder over the strategies of others.

If we don't wake up now, and act against such bigots, it won't be far away, when nation's integrity would fall broken in the hands of separatists like MNS chief, Naxalites, Kashmiri militants or Islamic radicals. Say no to injustice and eradicate the evil!
