World is racing ahead.
Nations are now switching to next level of development. And this would be much higher and much more complex than today's. With good infrastructure, latest technology, better system in place and check on corruption, these nations are now developing system for the next level. This requires high level of discipline and commitment.
And in this if India has dream of becoming world's super power, its citizens must introspect and answer some serious questions. Is merely having a big dream sufficient? Are we not too casual about nation building and have taken it for granted that we are next big thing? How long it can remain and survive as a consumer economy? Leave aside next level of development even to reach current level of development at which other nations stand today we need years of committed hard work. But are we making right efforts in right direction?
Where is the plan? Where is the preparation? Where is the ground work? Where is realism???
Is this the way a nation is managed ?
The kind of problems India is facing today are huge.
- The big population which is still rising rapidly
- Majority under severe poverty
- Miserable state of education and healthcare
- Rampant corruption
- Society affected by caste religion and region
- Poor ranking in major development indexes
- Poor inefficient system
- Alarming crime rate
- Terrorism and Naxalism
- And if all this was not sufficient to ruin we have a political system which is so much election driven which has to be won at any cost, so it leaves no scope of focus on nation building. Leaders are totally focused on defeating opponents in elections as well as before and after. This fight is at nation's cost. And in this they do not care what harm they are doing to the nation. So called top leaders use such bad language which does not suit even roadside hooligans.
Where is the time to think about nation. We have election after election. Politicians and political parties try best to pull down others. They spend whole time in finding faults in others. Rest of the time is spent in defending self. Manifestos remain on papers. No sincere effort to work on system. Words are in plenty but action is missing. And even if nation walks four steps, world has gone ahead forty. There are few bright spots but those are far too less and does not help majority of nation.
How this is going to create a world super power?
India a nation of enormous potential with brilliant people remains unlooked after.
It is difficult to believe why nation building has proved such an impossible task for India. Does it require some super natural work?
Task has been made enormous and now it requires a complete collective work by each and every individual.
To begin with it is important to improve the atmosphere. People today have lost respect for leaders. And this creates a chaotic society. Political class has to regain respect not through fear but through respectable speech and deeds. Why it is not possible to create a consensus that politicians are not allowed to talk about other politicians, they can talk only about own policies and works. This will check negative propaganda and will bring focus on important national issues.
Elections must be free and fair. They must be free from muscle and money power. No tainted person must be allowed in constitutional houses. Elections collectively national and all states, must be held one in four or five years.
And then there must occur the politics for system. Whosoever win in the election, nation building must involve entire spectrum. All political parties and politicians must shed selfish interest and work with consensus to create a better system for the nation. Only a good system can take nation forward with good speed and consistency. Debates must be on system. National policies must be formulated. Constitution must be looked into and obsolete laws must be removed or amended. A long term National Development Program must be formulated through consensus involving public opinion as well. Development must be beyond roads, flyovers and malls. International development indexes must taken as goals. Corruption has to be eliminated because till corruption is there, all talks of development and nation building are just words. Social equality and harmony must be created. Education and healthcare must be the topmost priority.
If India follows this simple path, it can eliminate poverty in five years and attain higher goal of development in ten years. But if it does not, debates will continue on TV channels.
