Chak De India

Adarsh phasan jahan naaron mein

Aur chor bharey darbaron mein

Where ideals are stuck in slogans

And the royal courts are full of thieves

(Song lyrics: Bilqis(Jinhe naaz hai) artist: Rabbi Shergill )

Don’t you feel we Indians are too much committed to politics? Pass by any of the local kiosk and you can easily hear people ridiculing government and its policy. One banal statement that leads infinite arguments is ‘yeh saala poora SYSTEM hi khaaraab hai’ but wait…… Who constitute system? Who creates system?

The irony is people who have the rights to elect the system, and create system are the one who keeps on lamenting of it the most. After ‘darbar’ is chosen we are the ones that initiate the process of branding them as ‘chor’. Election commission just gives us one stamp to cast our vote and not any other stamp that be easily engraved on the forehead of the winning candidate branding him as ‘chor’. Or do we try to hide our own credibility as a responsible citizen by blaming it on the Government and constantly belittling it as loser.

If Government does not do anything then why the people do not actively participate in the NGO’s and does something where the Government fails to deliver. What I feel it simple to play the blame game and keep on blaming on your counterpart, but this is not the state of mind that is acceptable for a credible citizen of a developing country like India. Countries are successful and become superpower if the people residing over there are actively striving hard to deliver something that is matchless. Be an inquisitive citizen keeping constant check on the working of government and its polices don’t let ease and complacency seep through the mind of Political body. When a single pillar collapses the whole building comes down we as the citizens are the pillar of the country .Don’t let the ideals to stick in slogans; power them with the wings of hope, hope of being the best and conquering the world. Fuel the stylus with the ink of optimism, positivism so that we are able to script the new successful story of powerful India.

Chak de India ……………..
