I wanted to write down some highlighters on Barack Obama's maiden India tour, eventually the longest so far by any US president. Now it will be followed by my take on yet another scam called 'Aadarsh Housing Society Scam'.
Ever since the news of the scam broke out by the media, i was wondering, where are we heading? Whom are we making fool? All our claims of superpower status, are for real or fake? Do we really deserve or ready for taking serious role in geo-politics? Why we are so concerned about calling Pakistan a 'Terrorist State'?
All the above concerns of our office bearers in Delhi are farce. When ours fundamentals itself are not in place, do we need to look outward? Can we really afford scams like Aadarsh society, 2G or financial blunders like CWG. Nope. We can't afford it anymore.
Recently published UNDP report rank india 128 among nations in Human Development Index. Even countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh and Srilanka are better ranked than us. Does it bother any one person who is asking for coveted permanent seat in UNSC? India should be told to first correct its fundamentals than should seek any global recognition or such political luxury.
We may soon be leveled, a country of hypocrats. This is not a wild assumption, it can be a stark reality of 21st century.
Until unless development is not uniform, not reaching all Indians, in every nook & corner of the country, till then the whole notion of GDP growth will remain mere economic denomination of privileged.
Justice should prevail in the nation and corrupts should be treated as traitors. I believe, in democracy, corruption should be handled promptly and with iron fist. People tend to feel more frustrated, when they see their elected representatives, are abusing trust, power & position, intrusted upon to them. The common people/voters feel cheated / handicapped and tend to lose faith in the system and take up arms for coercive corrections.
The government, police, investigation agencies and judiciary should work in tendam to deliver, to eliminate the menace, for forever. Till the time we let corrupts walk free, our civil society will remain in mess and we will see no uniformity in our development measures.
