Nation must learn assertiveness

At times nation behaves like an individual.

People bear suffering for a long time and then show outburst in the form of agitation. They do not show the skill of assertiveness. This was taught so well by Mahatma Gandhi.

People must identify goals. Set higher goals at locality level, city or village level, district level, state level and national level. Then they must collectively demand work from respective level administrators and governments. But this should be peaceful and consistent with law. This will stimulate the development in a time bound goal directed manner. This is governance by demand.

Such a system will help nation building in many ways:

- Higher standards of development
- Time bound development
- People's active participation
- Reduction in frustration level in society

Nation must learn to think and act in a mature manner. Are caretakers especially media listening ???

Block porn and other bad websites

Is it required to block?

Yes, because the damaging effect is huge. Not many know how much it affects and distorts subconscious mind and personality.

Is it possible to block ? Who should block?

This issue can be easily managed.  Some nations are doing this. Why can't we have laws and action to this effect. If it is not possible for government then give this power to people. On internet provide a website on which people can report a porn website. People wishing to report a website only need to copy paste website address on this. If a particular website reaches a minimum threshold of reporting then that website must get blocked. Fifteen crore plus internet users can easily block four crore websites within a month.

It is time to regulate internet and people must be involved in this.

History will judge India

India is yet to born...

Every year we salute our flag but do we at all understand and honor our own flag ?

Three colors of India represents wisdom peace and prosperity. Freedom fighters were right in setting basic principles for the nation. But what are we doing to these core values of nation?

Problems are many and huge. Unfortunately India is discussing non issues and not discussing issues. Destiny of people of India and infact destiny of world depends on how India conducts itself.

Internationally
India is natural world leader in terms of humanity. India is the country which can and must guide world towards peace and cooperation. The soul of India is based on wisdom and peace. These are the core elements of humanity and world today is in suffering due to lack of these. India must avoid confusion and must always stand by humanity principles. For this even if India is required to lose some selfish interest, it should not hesitate. India must play its world role based on humanity principles to steer world towards wisdom peace and prosperity.

Nationally
How unfortunate to see people of India in conflict and chaos over non issues of religion, caste, language. Can a nation grow well and people live a happy life if the goals and priorities are not clear. What is our vision of nation. What kind of nation we wish to have 20 years or 50 years later. It is not difficult to agree atleast on this.

India that should be:
- Peaceful
- United
- Scientific
- Prosperous and developed

If the Goal of Nation is so undisputed, why should the path be chaotic ? It comes down to same three colors - wisdom peace and prosperity. We are one nation. Why can't we conduct as one nation, why can't we conduct ourself with wisdom and sensible purpose.

Take for example issue of language. We all know English is necessary if we are serious towards long term development and India's position in the world. True that those who are not well aware of English should not suffer. Why we can not make efforts to help every citizen of India in learning good English. We must support and develop all Indian languages but must always keep in mind that future of India is through English. There should be no conflict on this. Support people in learning higher standards of both mother tongue and English and let nation grow with good pace.

Second issue is religion. Should this be as issue for nation ? What a shame ! Religion is every persons private matter. It should be practiced within home and religious places. Out of these we should be only Indians. There should be no mention of religion in public. We are one nation and one people. No nation can develop without unity.

It would be a huge damage and loss if we remain divided on the basis of region, religion, caste or language. World is growing very fast. We already have too many problems. We can not afford to waste any time or energy on such issues.

Let the three colors be understood well. Even the order is significant. Wisdom will lead to peace and peace will lead to prosperity.

Wisdom - People of India must use brain and promote sensible rational logical thinking. Common sense must prevail. In addition we must grow intellectually. Promote scientific attitude. Spiritual development too must promote rational and intellectual attitude. We must refrain from rigid and illogical debates. Let nation develop collective wisdom.

Peace - No need to describe. We must shed all differences and promote peace and unity. Do not let any issue create any rift. Always keep national interest higher that self. We are one nation one people. Diversity is only meant to be an asset.

Prosperity - With wisdom and peace we will be well on our path to prosperity. And this is not merely money. It should be the prosperity of values, humanity, nature, knowledge, skills, resources and of course money. Then we can have true development.

God has given everything to India. But do we have the ability to conduct and manage ourself ? Leaders of the nation, media and every citizen must rise above their selfish interest.

On this Independence day, think - Are we doing justice to our nation ?

History is watching.

Let there be a system

Nation is sitting blind on problems.

How can a nation grow without an effective working system ? A haphazard, chaotic, undecided, senseless approach can only grow disaster, not the comprehensive homogenous development needed badly by a nation.

It is impossible to run a small shop or even household affairs without proper system in place. If we want nation to be peaceful and develop at rapid pace we need an effective system. Some may say that we have constitution. True, we have but that too needs to be rewritten to keep pace with growing times and growing world. And, in addition, we need to work sincerely on components of the system.

Components of the system

If we seriously wish nation to be free from anarchy and progress, we must immediately work on strengthening the system. The problems faced by nation are huge. Piecemeal approach  or status quo or erratic steps are sure shots to disaster.

Constitution - It is must to have constitution that is in tune with changing times and world. A dynamic nation needs a dynamic constitution. 

National Policies -  It is necessary to have consistent and well laid national policies. These should be based on long term national interest. They should infuse confidence and clear confusion in the mind of citizens and the world.

Commissions - The various components of the system must be made independent commissions like Election Commission to work efficiently and effectively. They should have autonomy and freedom to function. Some of them are:



Bureaucracy Commission
Intelligence Commission
Vigilance Commission
Lokpal Commission
Law Commission
Police Commission
Civic Commission
Information Commission
Media Commission
Health Commission
Education Commission
Environment Commission
Natural Resource Commission
Human Resource Commission
Sports Commission

Some of the existing commissions like Election Commission and Women's Commission must be made more effective.

Information Commission
Information Commission must be enhanced to become the single authentic source of every information. It should have complete information about both government and citizens. This will improve transparency and accountability in nation.

Media Commission
Media Commission must ensure fair and vibrant media. Media must remain decent and promote overall personality of citizens along with clean entertainment and thought stimulating information. Media is important link in society. It should remain free from bias and allegations of paid service. Promotion of superstition and sensationalism must be a strict no.


Federations - People's Federations in different fields must be developed to help people raise issues and get solutions in a peaceful manner. These must work as cooperative link between people and government.


India has huge potential. But it suffers from lack of effective system. It is time nation develops effective system to meet the challenges and aspirations. Let the system grow and work.

National Policy

Why conflicts and agitation are becoming a norm in India ? Can't we find sensible solutions in national interest through peaceful manner ?

Almost every issue reaches a state of conflict be it religion, region, language, caste, gender, economy, education, culture. Is this how a nation conducts itself ? This is sad and shameful. A nation which was known for tolerance and wisdom is behaving in this manner. But why ?

Reason is lack of national policy. India is a nation of diversity. Every one in India has own thinking pattern and wish to do things in own way. This is sure path to anarchy and chaos. It is must to have well laid national policy for every issue. These policies must be drafted after consensus among public and experts.

These national policies can then lay path of core of consistent national development. These must remain consistent even with change of government. This will help in eliminating confusion from people's mind. Everyone can then contribute in development without any insecurity or feeling of unfairness.

A nation without well developed national policies is like rudderless ship which has no direction no goal.
