Vande Mataram


I was not one among the many Indians who felt euphoric after the government caved in to Anna Hazare's movement against corruption. I was skeptical of the government's move and they did not disappoint me either, they proved my theory right. My theory- that the government could sense the spark and the heat, so it immediately decided to extinguish it before it catches widespread fire and then remove the originators of this fire out of the system by any and all means possible. The Indian judicial system works in a simple manner, if someone stands for true justice, walk up beside them slowly and stab them in their heart, keep the culprits in a safe custody till then. This is how almost every movement, every agitation in our country dies.

What chance does a country have when the good people do nothing? Common men have learned to bury their responsibilities with their silence. They need to learn to confront it and face the truth. They know how to fight for their food, they need to learn to fight for their right. They have learned to live as impotent who couldn't fight injustice. Remember, corruption is not a curse set upon us it is an evil that has to be fought. We can chose to perish and make our lives miserable or we can chose to stand up and fight. The efforts are equivalent.

People need dramatic examples to come out their coldness. I speak to shake them out of their apathy. I don't know exactly what to do but I know that out there, there is evil. I am just gonna do what is right, nothing heroic and I'll keep doing that again and again till I am alive. I won't regret and I won't complain, I'll keep facing the challenges. So that one day may be from God's nest when I look down I see that the Indian common man has trampled the corruption.

INDIA, our motherland, does not belong to the criminals or corrupts. And I am not going to watch it burn.

a message from ............. : (felt like sharing)
Common man is common because of his struggle for livelihood, its not about silence, its about his life. Corruption is something which is created by the rich and wealthy, the powerful and greedy. They have everything, its all but empty mind's devil's workshop. First you should take care of their basic needs, talking about so many stuffs is useless if the people of your country are hungry and poor,they don't have proper clothes to wear or proper education. Corruption comes far later, because its just a part that makes Indian government stink. Good people are who? Define them? How can you call good people good when they don't do anything, these good people are good for nothing. There are no people in fact in India who genuinely will fight for their rights, the ones who do are ridiculed, not supported by. Corruption is a big thing, but for things to improve the fundamentals should be clear, many people can't read, they are duped by the clever..but its not their fault, education comes in play over here... look into the basics sort out the needs and then talk about it. I would like to know what you do? And what right you want to keep doing? The movement by Anna Hazare was not a agitation, it was just the start of realisation, and for the Indian peole it was necessary.. Government won't change, till the time people take control. And corruption won't stop till you make every human being the way he is supposed to be, with things necessary for a civilised society, those are called values. If you can think, its time to act... this piece of yours sounds like a monotonous news, saying all the same things that critics say, stop being diplomatic if you love your country that much. India needs character of truth, not tacts. And if you feel so red, do something!

Corruption and Common Man



"The dream of India as a strong nation will not be realized without self-reliant, self-sufficient villages, this can be achieved only through social commitment and involvement of the common man." These are the words, the vision of the man who commenced a fast upto death on 5th April 2011- Anna Hazare.

Anna Hazare's protest led to the resignation of Mr CORRUPT Pawar from the governments Lokpal Bill committee but is that enough. Pawar is not the only corrupt politician. How can a guilty convict a guilty. The politicians are all robbers of the same gang, we need someone from outside this system to nab these corrupts. If this country has to be cleansed then the job cannot be trusted with by the current set of politicians. This movement has to be led by efficient leaders bring Narayan Murthys, Anna Hazares and cleanse the system.
A movement is in the beginning, the people are coming out of their shells and raising voice, let's make this voice-a roar. SHOUT LOUD, so loud that the corrupts go deaf.
Thanks Anna Hazare for showing us the ray of hope. You are on the way of fulfilling your duty towards your motherland.  

Also, Team India we stood by you and supported you when you were battling for the world cup, now it is your time to step up and stand for us. Say no to Indian Paisa League till the Lokpal bill is drafted. Will you?
I just hope that this movement turns out to be a stirrer and not a moments 'josh'. The agitation should pick up and people should support this movement and share this feeling in the same manner we shared the proud of winning the world cup. This time the stakes are much higher and so are the rewards, if we can make this movement a revolution...we can win the battle against corruption.

हो गई है पीर पर्वत-सी पिघलनी चाहिए,
इस हिमालय से कोई गंगा निकलनी चाहिए।
आज यह दीवार, परदों की तरह हिलने लगी,
शर्त लेकिन थी कि ये बुनियाद हिलनी चाहिए।
हर सड़क पर, हर गली में, हर नगर, हर गाँव में,
हाथ लहराते हुए हर लाश चलनी चाहिए।
सिर्फ हंगामा खड़ा करना मेरा मकसद नहीं,
सारी कोशिश है कि ये सूरत बदलनी चाहिए।
मेरे सीने में नहीं तो तेरे सीने में सही,
हो कहीं भी आग, लेकिन आग जलनी चाहिए।
- दुष्यन्त कुमार
