Rome is burning

India for last 63 years has travelled a lot of distance unmatched by any other country and in a way never seen in any other country. But every where we look there is still a lot of work to be done. There are many places where the work has gone terribly wrong. But I want to ask is this all governments responsibility. We take pride in calling our country world’s largest democracy. But we don’t like the burden it brings to us with it. In democracy not one or two people are responsible but we the people are responsible. Today from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, from Gujarat to Assam we face plethora of problem. In the last few weeks we have seen the state of affairs in Kashmir. In the Delhi meet Puneet told me a lot about their great state. But I want to question why all the rights which we can enjoy in our place is not given to them. Are they not living in a free country? Puneet can’t even send SMS. Why is this partiality? Same is for all those Maoist infected places. Are they not citizens of India? Why write in preamble then that we are a Sovereign Secular Socialist Democratic Republic? But is this all done by only the ruling classes. Are we not responsible for atleast some part of these?
I just saw an old film called “Kashmir ki Kali”. The Kashmir of that time seemed to even give Switzerland inferiority complex. But comparing today’s Kashmir with that of todays. I just came up with only three words Rome is Burning. And unfortunately we haven’t even finished building our Rome. In democracy we have to all work for building that Rome. Few groups of people cannot work, while others could go to sleep.
All you guys must have heard about a thing called fundamental Rights. But has any one heard about Article 51A which contains all the fundamental duties. One of them tells us about taking care of our environment. Which we all climate champs are doing. But that same list also has another duty for us that is to render national service when called upon to do so. My family has always tried to do their best for our country. My grandfather fought world’s mightiest empire. Took bullet and still made sure that he contributes in building a new free nation. Three generations of my family have already served in Indian Air force. I am also a member of that family and I have decided today that I will do anything and everything to make my country good, better, and best. And I will not rest till good gets better and better gets best. I will join Indian Armed forces for sure. And after that as a MP of the place will make it one of the best place in the Country economically and still one of the greenest. All the problems which I have faced, the children then won’t even know. And I need a water proof keyboard. And I will not let my Rome burn and listen to music. Well guys today it’s going really long. So I am finishing here but I will end it on Independence Day for sure.
Yes we can, Yes we must, Yes we will.

Climate Criminals

There was a seminar on Climate Change and Global Warming in the women' college. And most of the speakers lambasted repeatedly the United States of America for all the climate crises which the world is facing today. Thought there is not an iota of doubt in this fact USA is the biggest polluter on the planet today. But the exaggeration by them is simply the by product of the left (mis)rule which have created anti America but they them selves have done nothing less than what the Americans have done. Cos if they were so responsible to the environment then they could not have created a ministry of environment for sleep only purpose. If it were not the hard efforts and iron will of environmentalists under Subhas Dutta. The smoke spewing 2 stokes could still have been there on the roads of Kolkata to pollute. And we have seen that how reluctant the government was in this case. And the most recent one was the exclusion of Environmental Education marks from the class 12th score when going ...

UnIndianing India

Today our Republic turns 70years. In these year we have raised ourselves from ashes of partition and hate, braved conflicts internal and external. Yet we have carried on as a republic for so long, because we stayed true to the ideals of our founding fathers. The ideas that shaped our struggle against a colonist, against the communalists. But very often did our republic find itself at the verge and it seemed the dreams that freedom fighters saw for our free nation might be too much. Last few months if not years have been like that as well. When we seem to be turning our backs to the principles that defined our country. Principles of unity in diversity. Where so many people from so many different part regions, religions speak so many languages, can live and thrive together. Where different ideas from anywhere is not frowned upon. Where one does not have to fear to speak his/her minds out. Where people from different places and religions were welcomed not just as guests but as God...

Negative Vote

This year I won’t be able to vote because I will turn 18 on 12th of May. So I have decided to ask as many people as I could to vote this year in this LS election. But who ever I told to vote said that whom we should vote for no one is good. In reality also all the member hardly differ from each other. Every on speaks in the same voice. No says something good for which we should vote for. And today’s youth is not that fool who will be misled by there false rhetoric. So the best way to not to vote for those people is not to go for votes. But in this way a whole generation will be created who will have no belief in this democratic system. Previously when there was the paper voting system negative votes can be caste in many ways but nowadays the with EVMs this is not possible. But what if a voter doesn’t like any of the candidates. His only option as I said above could be not to vote. But is that fair. Election Commission must start the Negative Voting system. At least then we could in rea...
