What India wants – a naïve outlook


India needs more guns and tanks; yes you heard me right India needs more tanks and guns, im not advocating violence here but rather I am talking about youth with gun like attitude and think tanks ready for battle. Where are those comrades who can create wonders and miracles? What is shutting you down? Somebody had told me once wonders are created twice, yes every wonder is built twice; once in the mind of a dreamer and secondly in a platform, everything from the Taj Mahal to computers share this same fundamental; so where are my comrades who can create wonders and miracles? We need revolutions of a million colours, we need poetry in roads, art in buildings and craftsmanship in architecture come on how much can we afford to see wahi khisse pitte roads, beyjaan buildings aur narangeen architectures. Kitne aur saal sahoge wahi inefficient systems jisse kosste kosste ab 60 saal beeth gaye..

Kissi aur ne mujhse yeh bhi kahan dha ki never break a system that runs..but isn’t this all a jugaad? Doesn’t we deserve far, far better things..India remains as one of the most taxed countries in the world yet we don’t have good drainage system in cities, clean water or air, an education system to boast about, universities like Yale [when we had Nalanda and Takshashila in the first hand], a good healthcare mechanism, our PDS sells sub-standard goods when the quality products are exported to first world countries, we make our citizens consume poison and then advocate for multi nationals; sometimes I feel that we are all targeted somehow a victimized nation; may be circumstantial or deliberate but we still are a colony; a reason Govt. servants are the mostly lazy in our country and holding hands with imbecile politicians they are dancing to tunes of corruption in a rain of nobody cares and bothers. And what option do we have? These people think they are quite smart, the truth is they are not we are just short in options even when we have an any party system unlike US or China where they follow a two tier system of politics..
And who am I advocating here? You? The ḿeḿe nation? Or you the mute? Or me the mute and ḿeḿe? Cry and act for change folks or else the future holds nothing for us…
