I am learning the realities of life in so-called Democratic India the harder way.... In a country inhabited by the god-fearing people, ther are still Shaitans who thrive on innocence of such people, in a country of numerous holy saints, there is still Goonda Raj, and in a country which exemplifies herself as Mata, there still are lecherous Demons who ogle every woman irespective. There is such a stark scarcity of transparency in judicial system that a person has to think thousands of times before making a conscious decision to approach the judiciary for getting justice... coz he knows he will only be handed over dates only without conclusion (Just like the Bus Conductor who was suspended in some 70's and his case is still going on) and if the accused is powerful than the victim, he gets away with his clout and money...there may be no hopes of justice being delivered. ...so many loopholes that the common man just suffers. I regret of making a decision to stay back in India when I was a teenager. From Administration to Infrastructure to Law & Order to Judiciary to Politics everything is adulterated. This might come across as a very negative remark but facts are always bitter to swallow.
My Ideologies and patriotism for the country I imagined in my teens is getting dimmer and dimmer... as I am coming to experience the true scenario prevailing in the country... SO many scams, the inefficient and delayed disposal of law-suits in Indian Judiciary, shifting of economy towards only capitalism(making poor people more poorer), pot-hole filled roads every monsoon, irresponsible and indifferent governmental bodies/organisations, no rules/regulations on increasing number of four-wheelers in Mumbai instead of lack of good infrastructure, unnecessary contracts/Tolls and tenders (like Mumbai Skywalks) given to political mafia, control of the administration by the builder lobbies... sheer lack of safety for women, increasing trend in rapes on female children....the sad conditions of our Jawans on the Indian LOC instead of their huge sacrifices of comforts...and much more. Everything is so suffocating... so frustrating!!! No wonder the best of brains get drained away outside India. and now I wouldnt blame the expatriates as I used to in my younger days. Also I understand well, the sarcasm in their talks when such freinds communicate with us and why they look down upon India.
No matter how many achievements we make in the field of Space research or Nuclear bombs/ missiles... till we have a lawful administration and maximum utilisatin of our resources we cannot claim ourselves to be truly a developed Nation. For, a developed nation doesnt let the common man suffer for fulfilling the wishes of the powerful few. Until and Unless we stand for our rights, we will never get justice. The influential people take advantage of the patience and silence of the common man because we allow them to! We are still not well informed and let the offenders scot-free...Let us wake up and become the voice against them because "To do Injustice is a Sin but to Tolerate Injustice is a Bigger Sin"
