Be the change you wish to see in the world





Are you angry and frustrated too?

- Rising rape cases
- Mid day meal tragedy
- Disaster in Uttarakhand
- Mismanagement of BCCI
- Suspension of  IAS Officer Durga Shakti Nagpal
   And so on…


Mahatma Gandhi was absolutely right.


"Be the change you wish to see in the world." Mahatma Gandhi


Forget blaming or preaching. We must learn to conduct our self.


People are angry; they are crusading against corruption and power game. This is good for the country. There is unanimous feeling that corruption is bad for the country and must be fought. There must be an environment of honesty, fairness and justice.  Everyone agrees. 


But think about this.

Why it is so difficult to achieve?  Is it only because of politicians? Is it right to only indulge in debates and blames? 


Where are the results?


Be it rape cases and other crimes, corruption, disaster mismanagement, poor mid day meals etc, the results are not there. 


Do we really wish to create India which is :


-       Free from corruption and unjust use of power
-       Where people specially children, women and elderly are safe
-       Where there is peace, harmony, happiness and meaningful development.
-       Where people and society ranks high in quality and efficiency

If yes, then the only way is what Mahatma Gandhi told us. 


"Be the change you wish to see in the world."


Forget blaming or preaching. We must learn to conduct our self.


There are three steps to create Glorified India


-       Get light to fight darkness. You can not throw out darkness. You will never succeed. Everyone wants to fight darkness but forgets that simplest way is to switch on light. There is too much heat on problems but too less action towards solutions. United, positive, result oriented action is needed. Work together to create a better system. 

-       Generate quality within. We must check our self and pledge to be honest, fair and just in our life. There can not be corruption and misuse of power outside in society if we do not allow it within our self.

-       Value qualities not money or power. Why do people become corrupt? Because it gives them edge over others. Otherwise even they know they will not live 1000 years just because they have huge money. Because of money they feel they are ‘BETTER’ than others. This is the kind of society we have created. We have set wrong priorities. Stop giving undue importance to money. Value qualities and create ‘POWER OF QUALITIES’.



Mahatma Gandhi had no money but he is the most powerful person India has ever seen.   

So what are we waiting for ????? Do not wait for others to change, be the change yourself.
