It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining with its full glory.
Children were heading for school.From a distance, one could hear the teachers giving lessons.
Teacher: Let’s revise. A for ?
Amrita: Abduction
Teacher: Very good. B for ?
Saurav: Bomb-blasts
Teacher: Good good. C for ?
Anwesh: C for corruption
Teacher: Well done…
It was election time. Parties were in search for suitable candidates. I picked up a party pamphlet of the Indian Bhrashtachar Party (IBP). It read:
Eligibility: Education- Paanchvi-fail
Extra-curricular- Boxing, eve-teasing, kidnapping
Aim: To make our country the No. 1 in crime and corruption
Age: No bar
Minimum Qualification: Must have been jailed at least twice preferably on murder charges
Afraid, I got up from my sleep. Oh, that was only a nightmare!
What if this turns into a reality?
Let’s take a pledge to vote for the right candidate. Even one vote has the power to change the fate of the nation. To build a prosperous and peaceful country, we need educated and clean politicians. Leaders who are capable of running the country responsibly.

i don thnk d situation is dat bad, im nt challenging the idea of choosing the right person bt d hypothetical situation u have created is to dramatic..when u have initiated such a forum y nt look at the positives and motivate people to be more responsible to further improve upon the existing condition..
ReplyDeletefor ex-may be site the example of a DTC bus and metro..delhi public never knew how 2 keep public transport clean bt metro is an exception..where people have actualy put in an effort to respect the service we have gt.. may b a comparison between past n present would be much mre impactfull dan depicting a bleak future..
well naveen..the idea was to create a panic button situation for complacent indians like us who take democracy for granted.. and about the dramatic part..well dreams sometimes are dramatic! however, i appreciate ur concern.
ReplyDeletesee it is very easy to change the current political situation in country. as only half of us cast our votes in elections and rest of us just keep criticizing the politicians. we just need to come forward and vote for the right person. those who don't vote have no right to criticize the politicians. we must keep this fact in our minds that not all politicians are corrupt, this country is not running on auto pilot mode, there are few good men in politics too
ReplyDeletei agree wid khalid...a few positive steps from our side will not let things go this bad...
ReplyDeleteGood work there... nice to see young indians trying to make a difference... its no secret that these are sad times for the nation... some ppl have all the money in the world and don't know what to do with it, others haven't a penny to their name and dying off like flies... but what's really alarming is the indifference that has crept up... and along with it the kind of homogeneity that we find in the youth in the big cities... its as if they don't really have a mind of their own or have lost it completely.. ppl who do not have anything the matter with them defining reasons to make their lives miserable... guess we should do something about that first, before we expect them to vote consciously as well as conscientiously... wake up their minds so that they may decide what's good for them :|
