The Root Cause

Whenever I read any newspaper... India seems to be the hub of all poverty, social backwardness, corruption, low economic growth, communal tensions, regionalism, high rate of crime, and what not...
What are the reasons behind all these problems...which our nation is facing right now?
And more importantly what can be the general solution to all these problems?
Can there be one generic solution or one broad faced policy which will take care of all the above?
Lets see first the reasons behind all these problems....
If one tries to see the whole picture of today's India, one can easily say that the main culprit is our rapidly increasing population.
But can we say the same about China...?
China's population is the highest in the world...and it is a world power.
I am not saying that they don't have poverty, they don't have corruption. They do have these problems.but still their economy is way ahead of Indian economy.


Basically Population is nothing but Human resource. It is a resource, which uses all the other natural resources for it's own growth.
Take an example of an employee of an organization.... for the organization; he is a human resource,
And after receiving proper training the resource becomes productive, and if he is also having values like loyalty and dedication. Then he will be great contributing factor in that company's growth and prosperity. So the point is that proper training with values can help both, the company and the individual as well, to prosper and grow.
Can’t we think on the same lines about a nation's Population also?
Then we can give one sole reason for India's all problems, as economically unproductive, corrupt, and high Population of India.
And then it can be easily seen what is the main problem behind our economically unproductive, corrupt and high population?
It is Lack of education to all...
Lack of proper education, lack of education with values, lack of moral education, lack of education that instills a feeling of pride in the young minds for India's ancient culture and heritage, and at the same time inspires them to abandon all the age old stupidities and vices of our culture.
Lack of education that doesn’t give just bookish knowledge but encourages young minds to experiment, to explore and to think independently.


Yes, it is the sole and whole reason of India's all problems...isn't it?
Give these people proper education...make sure every single citizen of this country gets education,
And you will see slowly but surely we will be free of corruption, we will be free of communalism, regionalism, we will be free of poverty...we will be heading towards becoming a developed nation, with our true potential, which has not been utilized fully till now due to all these constraining factors.

What says my INNER VOICE?

Today as I was going from Borivali to Churchgate in the slow local train to Churchgate,
there was a lady sitting on the same bench with me..there was another person sitting between us.
Perhaps she was new to Mumbai as she was asking whether this train would go to Bandra...which actually falls on the same root from Borivali to Churchgate.She was sitting on the corner of the bench on which normally 4 persons sit, but ideally it is for 3 persons.
As usuall at Kandivali large crowd came in and people rushed to vacant seats...or those benches where only 3 people were siiting.
One man aged around 35-40, came to our bench and asked me and the person besides me to move a bit ...so that he could fit in. And he sat with his big back on the bench moving the lady out . She had to standup,and she said nothing..then he moved little bit so as to accomodate her..,and she sat at the corner managing somehow.


I saw all this...i thought how could be a person so mannerless and shameless.
My mind was full of anger at that time...i thought this is wrong.
But I didnot do anything.I was sitting there as usuall with no reaction.
Why didn't I do anything?
I think I had two clear options :
Either express my anger publicly and tell that person to not to take the seat of the lady..hoping that rest of the public will also support me.
Or standup and give my seat to the lady..without uttering a word against anyone..expecting that the man will feel guilty and embarrasment..and his heart will change.


I did neither of that, and just sat calmly on my seat.
Why?
Even I dont know...I had the right thoughts but no action.
I think I should have followed the first option strainghtaway.
The second option would have been correct only after applying the first.
I even have the justifications for the action which I would have performed...but still I did nothing.WHY?
I have no right to think that why others were not opposing this, because I was also a part of 'others'.I think all of us have become so used to see all these sort of wrong things happening in every sphere of our life, that we don't feel odd..we don't feel like opposing.
We look at others.If someone takes the initiative, then only we help them..and that also only if that thing is easy and affordable.Otherwise no body comes in support.


It has happend many times with me that about something I am sure I am right but I am not able to convince others or I don't try enough to convince and I endup following others.
If at all I think that I am right, if at all I have faith in myself, I must express myself,I must convert my thoughts into action.
Hope I will next time.

What says Sonia's INNER VOICE

What propelled sonia gandhi to deny the prestigious and powerful position of prime minister of India, in addition to her INNER VOICE??


First of all Let's take a look at the qualifications of sonia gandhi:
she is said to be a cambridge university graduate.....this rumour has been propagated by the congress people and the english media , since quite some time now..,
although cambridge university says there is no sonia maino in there alumini's list..,
actually she had come to cambridge in some night school for learning english, that's all.
anyway there is no law in indian constitution which says that PM must be a cambridge graduate!!!,
BUT still the point is that she never clarifies on this issue.


In 1968 she came to india marrying rajiv, applied for foreigner's permit to live in india for 5 years as a foreigner...,then again after 5 years asked for another 5 year permit...and got it..., between 1968 and 1973..during bangladesh war ..sonia and rajiv fled to rome...they returned back only after peace was restored.
Now let us come to the period between 1973-1978. In 1977, when Indira Gandhi was defeated, Sonia sensed the mood of the nation, took refuge in the Italian Embassy and refused to come out of it. She said she was going back to Italy. Sanjay Gandhi had to go and plead with her to return.


she has never ever clarifyed on this issue that why she took 16 years after marriage to accept citizenship of india....
the reasons she knows best than any other congressman..


any way even if we dont give any importance to the above facts..., still a PM of india needs to be well aware of india's political ,social, and geographical conditions...and a PM should possess opinions about the problems and challenges faced by the country currently...and also
a PM should have a decent knowledge of indian history..and many more things...,
i am not saying that the PM should be a pundit of political science, history, geography etc...., but still we expect our PM to have an understanding of india's history and heritage,india's society and the current problems.
and anybody can predict that this all will come easier to those who have born and brought up in india.....like manmohan singh ..like atal bihari vajpayee..
and this will always be a problem for sonia gandhi...., that is why we dont see her giving open interviews or attending open press conferences ....discussing any social or political or for that matter any topic which demands some knowledge of india as a whole.
She has not given a single interview or offered any ideas on a single issue facing India now. Her only qualification is that she married a Gandhi. No newspaper has taken up the issue; no political party is opposing this.
It is not her fault that she does not know much about india or she doesnot have opinions on any issues faced by india....,b'coz she was born and braught up in ITALY...and then after coming to india she was confined to 10 janpath .
I think she knows best about this fact...than any other congressman.
BUT the problem arises when these congressmen are seen pledging to MADAM to accept PM's post....,they are more experienced more knowledgable..,more capable than MADAM...still they and the english media are moving like dogs around her.


I say Sonia is no threat to INDIA...there is no danger.....she simply cannt be. She is not capable enough to be a threat...,
BUT what worries most is the attitude of the media and the 'GULAM MANSIKTA' of the congress people which can be a substantial threat to india and its polity.


I can surely say that average people like you and me also , know much more than sonia..about india...about it's culture ..it's history..etc etc.
and she knows all the above facts very well...and that is why she refused to become prime minister of India.
But this is seen as a great sacrifice by the english media, comparisions being made with ancient sages,which is all stupidity.
Sonia is well aware of her capabilities and the possible embarrasment she would have faced if she worked in office daily as a PM because it would have been similar to a person knowing nothing about music, given the flute to play 'RAAG DARBARI'.
But the sad part is that congressees as well as media, can not see these simple facts or they donot want to.
