There is a popular belief that youngsters, especially educated are not interested in active politics of India. They voice their opinions and sometimes very valid too, yet they are not interested in active politics sighting that politics is game for scoundrels. Because, we do not want to dirt our hands and dresses. We do not want to disturb our apple cart. We do not want loss our focus of making money. We do not want to annoy our elders. We do not want to jeopardize our peace of family life.
Above all, we believe that money will bring the power and therefore, let us concentrate on making money and once we are self sustained, then we can think of serving the society, people and country. It is a wrong notion. Yes, money and power is inter-coined. They work in tandem to help each other. But it has limitations in democracy. It may finds it way if we are in slumber. Waiting for comfort and richness to field ourselves in the political process will never going to happen. So, we must remove the 'state of mind' that politics is untouchable. How do we remove it? Before I answer to the question of how, let us look at why?
Once again, India is at cross roads. There are numerous pertinent issues that are harming the growth of India. Certain issues are already at its optimum level, meanwhile, some others are waiting to explode at any moment. Here are the major issues that require immediate attention from both political and administrative leadership of our country. a) The principles of free economy and its conflicts with poverty alleviation. b) Misuse of free subsidies by both government and people c) Lack of productive human resources policy, thus threatening the employment and entrepreneurship developments within India d) Failing health management system, especially at rural India e) Increasing crimes f) Retrogressive policies of political parties responsible for creating communal riots and divisions g) Failing agricultural industry and above all the mother of all issues, the CORRUPTION and many more.
What is Young India doing? Just worrying about their own comfort and focus on short term benefits? Or simply avoiding responsibilities due to the worries of individual success issues? Or Young India simply living in dreams? Do you think that we will be safe when the whole nation is burning with social, economical and political disasters. Have we not seen how the Tsunami of extremism took the lives of good, bad and ugly together? Do you think that we are not answerable? Do you think that we are responsible? Do you think that we are not paying for the consequences of being silent?
We are paying for being silent and will let our children and grand children to pay even more. Why can't we stand up and say 'enough is enough'. Yes, we say enough is enough and will participate in our democratic political process with our own 'political game'. Yes, we will not play their game of dirt and ugly. We will change the name of the game in which the dirt is replaced with cleanness and ugly with beauty.
This is the time to stand up and show the strength of Young India. We must to re-write the political process. We must to use every political and administrative resources to address the major issues as listed above. We must develop strong leaderships to take our India to next level and it must begin from gross root level.
Let us start from 2014 parliament election.
I am not asking all the youngsters to stand up as potential candidates to contest elections on their own and embrace the losses. It is not the loss of money that I am worried, but the loss of spirit is what we needed to avoid. We cannot waste our energy in losing battles and found ourselves marginalized by our own defeats. We have to be careful of our 'state of mind' that will determine our success or failure. Hence, we must preserve our energy, knowledge and strength to use and win the battles. Yes, we have to win numerous small and big battles to win the war. The battles are fought at gross root level only. Therefore, let us start from 2014 parliament election.
Let us not worry about big picture of who is going to be our Prime Minister and which party or coalition will rule us. Let us just worry about the candidate of our constituencies. (To be continued)
