Let me straightaway get to the point. The people are starting to forget the 26/11 attacks on Mumbai. Now the channels don't show the attack related news that often. And even if they air such shows, people are not much interested in watching them. It has been over one and half months and nothing has changed since then. India is still accusing Pakistan as always, who is denying all charges as always. As always, India does not have the guts to take nay extreme action against them and is still begging rest of the world to believe us. India is still demanding action from the world powers and our ministers playing their own petty politics. It is like one kid gets beaten up in playground by another kid and the first kid goes around crying that I was beaten by this guy please do something about him. So childish, isn't it?
What else can be expect from these stupid politicians. Only a little month has gone by and they are now back to their routine jobs. Naidu is busy accusing Reddy for Satyam's fraud, Amar Singh is busy apprising Sonia for tie-up in the forthcoming elections and BJP is busy accusing government for inflation. In the meanwhile, all government did was pass a few bills like NSA and relax as if these bills will save the country from future attacks. And above all we all are busy in our mundane copy-paste heaven and worrying about which is bigger Hit: Ghajini or RNBDJ. How convenient...
No one has even bothered to find out the root cause of the problem. As I have said before and with the risk of sounding repetitive, will say again, Pakistan is not our ENEMY no. 1. It is corruption and It is costing us dearly. Can you believe that an attack of such intensity can happen without local support. At least I can't digest that. This kind of attacks keep on happening year after year, month after month, day after day, it definitely is not possible without local support. And people who help these terrorists out may not even be aware of the fact that they are indirectly responsible of killing hundreds of people. They just do it to earn a few extra bucks. and those few extra bucks cause deaths of thousands. This is how cheap life of a common Indian is these days.
So, why has corruption got into veins of our country and seems impossible to eradicate. Who are people responsible behind this? There is a famous line from one very Hit Hollywood movie "With Great Powers comes Great Responsibilities". And this is absolutely true but unfortunately the most powerful people in our country are the most irresponsible people. Yes, you are right, I am talking about politicians. A small criminal dares to commit a crime because he knows his ass will be saved by his bribed connection in Police who in turn will be saved by some bribed Minister and so on. What I mean by this is that corruption starts from the top. The people at the bottom get the courage for such acts by the people at the top.
So, is there any way to resolve this? I believe it is possible but needs a lot of determination and few good people at the top with huge majority in government.
It all starts with choosing the right people for the most important job of the country. This can't be taken lightly. Choose educated people with clean records who has passion for changing the country for the good and give him enough majority to pass his bills without any coalition partners.
And Finally we need a new Law, a law which does not treat every one equal. Shocked!! I recommend you to keep reading. I am sick of this law system in whose eyes everyone is equal. Obviously every one is not equal, otherwise how will you explain that hundred times more innocent men are always put behind bars than actually corrupt politician. So, I was saying that we need a law which do not treat people as equal. What I mean by this is that the more powerful you are the harsher punishment you get for even smaller crimes. That means A murder by a jobless homeless man should be treated at par with an act of corruption by a politician. Both should get the same punishment and that is Death Penalty and nothing less. And one more thing is to be added, once a Minister or officer is accused and a charge sheet is filed against him in court of law he automatically looses his job and all his powers till he is not proven innocent. This is to ensure that he cannot influence the process of the justice system in any way.
These are just some thoughts and I do believe these can be refined further by more deep thinking and brain storming. But the ultimate message should be that you cannot get away after committing an act of crime. You will have to pay for it and not after many years but sooner that you can imagine. This will instate some fear in criminals hearts and minds and hopefully they will think at least once before doing anything.
What do you guys think? Any thoughts, comments, criticism, appreciations are welcome. But please do leave a line after reading. It helps me a lot in formulating new ideas. Thanks a lot.
