Leave the controversial demands and debates aside, it makes my heart perturb that we now even don't have the courage to speak about the things that are of our day to day concern and these in general are going to have deep impact on our future generations.It looks like our tongue has been cut and our consciousness has been chained. With cut throat we only babble and with chained consciousness we only see but not react.
How many matters are there that as conscious citizens we should talk about;
1. Do we question the faulty conditions of our roads ?
2. Do we question the poor infrastructure and teaching quality in our schools ?
3. Are we raising voices about growing corruptions in the govt. institutions ?
or we have accepted bribery as the part of our fate.
4. Do we speak about the unabated destruction of our forests ?
5. Are we demanding employment from the Govt. ?
6. Are we questioning our leaders for deceit and dacoity they did to us and looted us ?
7. Are we raising the voice against the growing drug culture in society ?
8. Have we ever sneaked into the schools of these poor children to enquire about their learning ?
9. Have we enquired about the developmental works that are going on in our local Panchayats to see if any misuse of funds is not going out there ?
10. Have we tried to co-operate and help each other in become self sufficient ?
Dear friends these and many other day to day problems are there that no one speaks of. In which world are we living, do we think that keeping a blind eye from these things is not going to impact us or our families because we are self sufficient ?
With profound grief, it's unlucky if we have such thoughts. When flood will come it will take with it the crops of both peasant and the landlord.
It still is time that we should keep an eye on these matters or otherwise we will have an economic and moral breakdown of such intensity that it would be impossible to retreat back.
