I was studying with my mom again for my exams when we started discussing this. The fact which made me gape was the fact that the politicians of this country aren't bothered at all to develop this country and reach its heights. If we just know what to do and how to do and make ourselves responsible, we can become the most powerful country in the world! Maybe, be a competition to the US! But, if our representatives don't do something to literate the poor and do something to stop widening the gap between the rich and the poor, India is doomed! The politicians know that India's major population is poor and illiterate. Instead of empowering and giving them basic needs, they buy their votes during election times.
Like my Social Teacher said, its our fault we've been electing them to represent us in the government. Maybe we should try another set of representatives for the country, in the next elections. Not that its going to make a big difference, but we have to try. We are so fed up with the way India has been running. We are so fed up because of the corruption in our government. We need a clean government where people are actually given their rights. We have freedom of speech, and everyone has their opinion on something. You cant go arresting everyone who speaks ill about the government or about any other big person. Its against the law to arrest anyone who expresses his views on something! After some arrests months back, my mum is still scared I'll post something which will get me arrested.
When the realization of the government hit me, i screwed my face and asked my mom, "Is this the India I am living in? Did our leaders want this kind of an India? I cannot believe I am living here! And, the worst part? I don't know what to do to change this place!"
Man....I hope in the future someone like Mahatma Gandhi comes and saves India from its doom, before its too late.
