Who wants to remain developing?

Indian Doctors are fighting the battle for society upliftment. Today, it has crossed sixteen days. If you visit All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, you will find Doctors discussing, sitting or sleeping in the front lawn. Some are reading some foreign books because of lack of Indian authors, some are reading some magazines. Some are making posters. Some are gossiping. In a developing society, what is a waste of intellectual pursuits to satisfy the stupid ego of some individuals who are thinking without any valid data? This is just because somebody thought that this way they can win next election. This also they thought without any base. They have formed a knowledge commission and they hardly bothered even about the knowledge of the knowledge commission.

Who wants to remain backward? The society has come along way since last few decades. China is progressing at the rate of approximately 10% since last more than a decade. India is following the path after starting of globalization. Political class should not bring out policies which chokes the development of deprived society. Leadership is playing with bomb. Every poor and deprived available on crossing of New Delhi is like a human bomb. No leadership without understanding these bare facts should take the system for a ride. The partisan policies like reservation may be a proven tool to divide and rule during 18th or 19th centuries not anymore. Poor will tear the leadership apart. If the people of today can ensure the removal of king in Nepal, there is no difficulty they are capable enough to do it here in democratic setup in India.

India has already entered among 10 developed countries in the world. If anybody thinks of poor, they need to be careful of their ‘air-conditioned policies’. Poor are not poor the way our old generation leadership are presuming. They are not naïve. It may be matter of time to misguide them. In this complex situation, it is important to review the compulsions of three important constituents of our society.

Leaders –
They want to rise by keeping backward.
They want to become even Prime Minister or President of the country without reservation.
Why do they want to keep other backward deprived for many generations?
Why do not they try to get reservation first for themselves?
What ultimately they get by keeping the poor as poor, the vote?
Why not rich give vote?
Will this need of vote ensure everybody to use his vote power?
Is exploitation of illiterate and poor the biggest drawback of democratic system?

Forward Class –
Only few old forward people still feels the need to keep backward deprived?
Do they limit their growth to their kith and kin?
Do educated class people want equality?
Does growth of present class of people depend on the homogeneous development of society?
Will forward class people forget that they are forward easily?
Will they be able to think of excellence in such partisan environment?
Will brain drain for all affordable people only solution for peace and growth?
Today, there is a compulsion for all class of people to talk about equality.
Development will give pleasure and success only after conscious consideration of equality.

Backward Class People –
Are they still sufficiently deprived to understand reality?
Do they ever want their growth?
How many generations, the backward class people want to be backward?
Do they move towards forward class if country achieves developed status in next few years?
Why do not they rise and fight to tell self and others that they are not backward anymore?
Are they convinced that they are backward or will remain backward for some more decades and few more generations?
How many backward want that their children also should remain backward?
When are they going to get courage to tell that they do not want backward status for their children?
How long will they wait for some forward to think for their welfare?
Why does not backward leadership emerge to help them?
Backwards need to get up and fight to become developed not for reservation.

In the changing scenario, it is important that opportunities are created. The leadership should be cautious not to keep development a myth. They have to study the ground situation before they talk nonsense. They must take lesson from the procession and demonstration merged on 27th May at Ram Lila ground. People are ready to self immolation. When the people can self immolate, they can bomb anyone any time. Any leadership risks their future existence if they do not rely on wisdom domain. The ambiguities have recently happened in case of Jaya Bachaan. Even Sonia had to resign and go for election again. This shows the shortsightedness of our leadership in earning discredit. India is backward in almost every sphere of human activities. There are a lot of work needs to be done. This must be known to our intelligent Prim Minister. This should be clear to our technocrat President who talks about developed India by 2020. Mr. President, if we talk about reservation today, India will not become developed till 2050. We should talk about removing reservation for scheduled caste and scheduled tribes now. This should be taken up on priorities. As such in spread of PURA, President has shown his poor visions for this poor country. I appeal to him to go through data and records and take some better view of future policies. Time is ripe and India is waiting for these two leaders to deliver. Especially they have more challenges when other popular leaders are not so educated and knowledgeable. There is a challenge. But it is an opportunity too. Posted by Picasa
