Where are we going

March 23, 2012 | Filed under: Your Opinion | Posted by: Akshay Gupta

In the last 2 years or so we are continuously witnessing the downfall of our democracy.
Still we are silent and have an attitude that everything is gonna be fine.

But seriously, will everything be fine? Or are we just trying to calm or comfort ourselves.

From the scams in crores to the mindset of our honorable leaders we have seen almost everything that can ruin a country. Everyone is bothered about his/her power and no one cares about the country or people. Is this the way a nation is run? And when asked, the government tries to hide themselves and put the blame on the coalition government. And after seeing the result of 5 states, it has become obvious that the government that we will get in 2014 will be alliance; and that of either NDA or UPA.

Railway minister had to resign because he hiked the price of tickets to a certain amount which if he not, the state of railway might be like airways. And even after his resignation the railway dispute is insolvent who is responsible for it—UPA or its alliance. Also in the case of hike in petrol prices, we see that its price is not hiked at time of election but after election its price is hiked to cover the losses at time of election.

Our leaders are not thinking of our future generation. They are just bothered about their future inheritance.

We are always ready to compare ourselves with China but if you ask, an economist surely will tell that China is way ahead.

The time has come when we understand our role in politics. We need to think of our future generation before ourselves.
