Have you,as an Indian ever complained about...
1.The throttling traffic-jams.
2.Always raising prices of everything around.
3.The mountains of garbage on the roadsides.
4.The million strikes happening all around.
5.The arrogance of government officials.
Then its time you stop complaining and TAKE CHARGE!!
India is the largest democracy in the world.As almost all of us know 'A democracy is the government for the people and by the people.' Is that not so!!!But let me tell you wat is happening in India now...'This democracy is being made a government for a few devious politicians and by those devious politicians!!!'
What caused this change?Our constitution was not planned this way by Dr.Ambedkar or Mr.Nehru or our Father,Mahatma Ghandhi.Then how did this happen?What went wrong down the years?
I'll tell you.Its not the officials or the politicians,its us the so called 'educated lot' who led to this change.Its us the callous,lazy,self centered fools (I'm sorry,if you cant see what the democracy can actually do to your life and excersice it,then it fits to call you a fool!)We very well educated citizens of India either think all this political drama is for the ruffians,the poor and the uneducated,or are caught up in our high paying jobs in the multi-national companies to go out and cast our vote.
The result - Some rich fat politician pays his way into buying all of our uncast votes!!Remember the way he got rich actually is by looting all of our taxes,which rightfully belongs to us!Now this is a big joke- 'He/She uses our money,illegally steals our votes,only to come back to power and loot more of our money.'
And what do we do about it - COMPLAIN!!Is that all we can do?No,definitely no.We can VOTE! (I really do hope this strikes a cord for all Indians of voting age reading this.)
Lets take a step towards change.Lets cast our vote.Lets speak up.After all,democracy is all about you running your government!!
P.S. - A word for all Indians who don't vote in this 2009 elections "You are the ones ruining India!"Remember,this big,beautiful,free country is what it is today because of our leaders 50 years before,and it will be what it is 50 years down the line because of you!!
LETS PROVE THEM WRONG THIS TIME!!
