Doesn't it AMAZE you...

We call ourselves a democratic country...a country for the people but look around you and what do you find...nothing that defines that word. We work so hard everyday to be better people, we work hard to acquire degrees that would elevate our status, we constantly look for what lies beyond that HORIZON....however OUR nation, OUR governement....THATS ANOTHER COUNTRY. We have a government that is so caught up with fighting for A SEAT and POWER that they have forgotten what they are there for in the first place. We have people who sit in parliament who make decisions in our supposed best interests who have criminal records to their names. Well one tells oneself "no problem, lets hope the system does not collapse...". You look further and well in life what does one hope for? A little security? Well guess what, you won't find that either. Ask a woman if she will in dire distress walk into a police staion at 12 at night and i can assure you 9 times out of 10 the answer will be without a thought, an immediate NO. Well you may just think that i am over reacting....look at Mumbai....need i say more. You cannot rely on the police, for police in India Khaki symbolizes power and a short cut to making money. I see everyday where i work and am stunned. You have the innocent man who is not well off and starts a small stall and what does he get....the beat marshall, the constable, the inspector...all demanding a cut if the man does not want to have any problems...and you think the man is fine but hell no EVEN THE Muncipal Corporation takes a cut to not tow away his stall!!!
HOW WILD IS THAT???
This little note is not in many way meant to point a finger or make a generalisation, its meant to be an eye-opener. We all know it exists so LETS NOT MAKE A HUE AND CRY ABOUT-OH MY GOD HOW CAN YOU WRITE THIS DOWN? Lets do something, lets try to be better citizens, lets try to correct our country not just by reprimanding but by truly educating and enhancing the system. We all pay tax....where is all this money we pay going?
There are so many potholes in the sytem....so many whys and hows...
This is one more of those posts where my mind has been thinking about the atrocities i see and i just had to voice them...
I hope people in India do stand up for what they truly believe in and desire from this nation and the system does chnage...Till i blog again.
