Where is nationalism

Before we talk, we must ask our self.

Where is our nationalism? What has happened to our courage? What has happened to our self respect?

Is this the same land of Shivaji, Rana Pratap, Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh and Chandra Shekhar Azad? We have blood flowing in our blood vessels or it has become water? What shamelessness? Alas ! a part mother land  of courageous warriors is slave but no soul is burning in fire.

And we talk about nationalism !

We are the only country where a part of mother land is occupied by other countries and no body seems to bother. A part of our nation is still slave and no one is concerned. How can sons of Mother India sleep when part of mother land is occupied by others.

No one has any right to talk about nationalism till we make our mother land free. Infact no one has any right to talk about nationalism till we achive:
- Complete freedom of motherland
- Elimination of hunger and poverty deaths
- Elimination of injustice to poor and downtrodden
- Elimination of crime against children and women

And the worst part is that we seek opportunity to talk big and claim I am right, you are wrong. This is not how a nation is built. God has blessed India with everything. Soldiers are doing their best on borders. Thousands have made ultimate sacrifice in wars for motherland. Is that in vain? Have we played our role? This is land of Krishna who taught not to be cowards and to fight for Rights and Dharma. But are we fighting for our nation? Where is the passion and fire?

We can not and must not cite glory of ancestors until we prove we are capable of taking that glory higher. India must identify its might and create more. We have all the elements of might. All we need to do is to put these elements at right place in right perspective. There is no need to feel any weakness. Never negotiate on mother land. Never give any undue advantage to them. Deal tough with consistency. We should have no talks, no business with those who work against us, who have grabbed our mother land. We must get focused on our goal of reclaiming our mother land and stop all misadventures by them. All this can be done by peaceful measures. Truth and Strength is on our side. We must think talk and act strong.

Nation must not forget its self respect. We must raise our head high and ask accept only and only dignified behavior by others.

Shake up and wake up India.

Justice must be done

No innocent should be held guilty and those guilty must be punished as per law.


Justice must be done and should neither be delayed or denied. Feeling and perception of injustice is detrimental for society.

We need to work on the entire chain from police, investigation, legal system and judiciary. Some of the points we need to immediately work upon are:

- Time. Justice should not take so many years. Cases must be settled within two years.

- Everyone must be accountable for the responsibility about procedure and norms. If they have not done their duty properly then they should be held accountable with civil and criminal negligence.

- Only one advocate per side must be allowed. It is unfair that one side has one advocate and other team of advocates.

- In criminal case if investigation is not upto the standard then court must transfer this to team of higher officials, CBI or SIT.

Justice is basic need of every individual. Just like food and security. Injustice leads to frustration and loss of honor for system. We must make efforts to uplift the system of justice. This will give citizens a feeling of confidence and will help in nation building.

How to check pollution

Why everything becomes such a big and difficult task?

Pollution is indeed one major concern today. Closely linked to it is congestion in major cities. Everyone is concerned. Then why it is so difficult to manage? Will such steps like cutting traffic by allowing odd even number vehicles help?

To answer one must understand what has led to this. There is a big difference between planned development and unplanned development. The situation that we see today is due to unplanned development. When things are allowed to grow without checks and regulations, such a state is inevitable. In order to make things better we have to follow the path of planned development.

Some of the steps that are well know and must be implemented are:

- Close or shift industries and thermal plants out of city area
- Plant more trees and develop more green belts
- Reduce emission from vehicles by raising norms
- Eliminate vehicles older than 10 years
- Reduce red lights as much possible
- Vacuum and clean roads
- Fill up kutchcha area with grass and trees
- Bypass mandatory for traffic not meant for city
- Develop extensive eco friendly public transport
- Strict law against crop or waste burning
- Crackers and Fireworks must be prohibited
- Diesel use must be eliminated from private use as in vehicles or gensets
- Eco friendly heating during winters must be promoted 
- Strict implementation of laws for better waste management


But for lasting solution we can do following:


-  Well planned development of cities with strict laws
-  Fix population density of every area.
-  Dwelling units in every region and city must be restricted.
-  Only one car per dwelling unit must be allowed
-  Zero tolerance and No parking and no unauthorized construction on road sides. Widen roads. This will ease out traffic.
-  Zero tolerance and No parking space for private vehicles in any office and shopping areas. People going to offices and shopping area must use public transport and cab pools. Only people of 50 years plus or with sickness or differently able be allowed cab pools. Rest must use public transport. This single step can reduce congestion and pollution.
-  Buses for work place. Most of the traffic congestion is due to office goers using cars. With easy and comfortable buses available at convenient time people will be encouraged to use buses.
-  Redistribution of office working hours and two days off per week on separate days to prevent clogging of roads.
-  Private vehicles to pay heavy traffic tax. This can be added to petrol. This will encourage people to use public transport and stop avoidable use of private vehicles.

These steps if implemented can give long term solution of congestion and pollution problem.
