These days we are witnessing a new kind of PATRIOTISM, the INTERNET PATRIOTISM. After Mumbai attacks when we should have been seriously thinking of the problems of we were busy sending sms, forwarded emails to friends and relatives. These contained nothing else but the abuses to our DIRTY politicians and this is the ultimate height which our patriotism could see. Jawans are great was accompanied by Leaders are really bad. But I HAVE A QUESTION….. is this the real patriotism. I can bet for a sure win that 99.9% of this population who has flooded our inboxes with forwarded messages and not going to fulfill their primary duties as a citizen of INDIA. They will never VOTE in their life saying this that what is the use of casting vote? All politicians are corrupt and we are forced to elect bad people. But my question is do we win the war with the shot of first bullet? Do we kill the entire army of enemies with one bomb? If this is not happening then why should we hope of an over night change? Why not monitor the process of change? The system which got ill in 40 years is not going to get cure in 1 year. It needs time – time to heal itself, time to heal its organelles. I am not defending the politicians but I will say one thing for sure don’t try to shed responsibilities off your shoulders. We the people of India, who are the power behind the constitution are the real culprits. For us politics is not the act which decides our future its merely the dirty game of a few power hungry people. We feel proud when we say I HATE POLITICS! And this is my prediction that if we people are not ready to learn from our experiences we will be punished by greater calamities, more disasters. This will be not because of Pakistan, it will not be because of Bangladesh, it will be because we Indians are not ready to see the clear picture, we Indians don’t have time to decide who will make laws on my behalf, we are not free to pressurize political parties to sideline the people with criminal records and we people are so busy earning our bread and butter that we cant go on foot to cast vote.
It’s better to act and not to speak. Don’t spend time in sending emails against the politicians, and abusing the system. Try to heal the anomalies of the system. You can cure the system just by one simple vote.
