Recently, I came across an article that define how our Indian youth thinks about being an citizen in this country and what are their views about ongoing situations relating to Indian Democracy, implementation of public policies,their views on governance.
While 24% of youth aged between 17-28 thinks that being an Indian Citizen is a humiliation,as Government is not doing enough to provide enough employment opportunities, ensuring safety to them , global shame they face when being called a citizen of corrupt society, lack of policy implementation, political unrest, and poor Governance where our Prime Minister is bound to work in limited arena restricted by coalition. Relating to their views on Indian Democracy a certain section (sorry I don't remember exact percentage) thinks that Democracy in India is in bad shape as actually views of people are never considered while making laws and laws if made are not implemented in proper way which could serve people properly, and efficacy of Executive is even questioned on their proper non implementation of policies and irresponsible behavior and apathy towards need of common man. This certain section thinks that today there is a great need of Dictatorship which can ensure proper functioning of all three institutions on command of one person which is strong enough that to ensure proper functioning of Government.
All right, I really appreciate views of my Dear Young India ,but out of all these views and your thinking about Indian Governance,I just wish to ask one question, have you done your part responsibly??
How pathetic that question seems to be,Right? But seriously, do you really think that you have acted responsibly yourself? You know, what actually democracy means,what has it actually given us?
Democracy is definitely not a weak word. It defines you, it defines Citizen above all, it ensures your freedom is intact, it ensure that you rule, it ensures that you have right to speak whatever you feel like , and above all live life with dignity. Do you think that a dictator will provide you with all that? I think that you people don't give your time enough to read what has dictatorship done to Arab countries, our neighbor Nepal, Myanmar and if that is not enough, you should definitely need to know about the agony this autocratic rule has left to those people who was present during President Rule of 1975-77 during Miss Indira Gandhi time. You definitely should, because only then you will come to know how your actual rights can be taken away to fulfill selfish means of that Dictator.
Secondly, I was referring to your duties towards this Governance (obviously you are the rulers according to very principle of democracy) . Duties that this very known principle of democracy provides us with are to be an active elector during an election,that is cast your vote every single time, so that you could be a part of selecting your representative. Be an active Participant in telling people about welfare policies about government and how they could take benefit of it. All educated youth should be a part of teaching underprivileged students. Take notice of condition of country and be a part of its policy making process by expressing your views whenever required(After every law tabled in Parliament,it is sent to Standing committee who passes a gazette which asks for views of every corner of society and groups. ) Participate in development work in local governance bodies and acknowledge them of any problem you think people are facing and use your right to get that problem solved.
Out of all above duties which are empowered on us, I think there might be just few who understands their duties and perform it. And who don't, they quibble. Obviously everyone need to understand one thing, India is One big country, which is facing huge set of problems ,and we all know about it. Point is just don't criticize it,try to solve it your way. And be an authority yourself. Because you know what you are the system.
We complain about corruption-but who starts it- you. Don't encourage it and don't face it. We complain about Lethargic way of working of government officials,but who are those officers-they are from among us. You become active and later whole system will be active. We complain about unemployment and less job opportunities- so be the creator of those job opportunities(Obviously being a CEO is better than an employee.) We complain about many other things-but you know what-we all are responsible of it. We are creator of that system and problem and only we have the solution so,change yourself to see better tomorrow rather than complaining about it. And if you feel cheated,you have rights in your hand. Implement it. Use RTI,use RTS,use courts because no one can deprive you of your rights,this country will only endow you with opportunities.
Take proper notice of conditions and please get above all petty issues like this old tradition of division on communal lines or regional lines or any other discrimination. This all is a political issue and let those politicians handle that, they will definitely face a punch back on those lines some day. But be a countrymen who thinks that everyone living in this country are equal,let it either be a man or woman, we all just have to achieve one goal acting in a responsible manner, and that wonderful goal is India-Country at its best and that we all will do together,because this country is not a humiliation but our own motherland-Our Pride.
