Indian dream
Did you read Mr.Abul Kalam's Speech in Hyderabad?
(Read)
I think he is absolutely right.Most of us Indians keep double standards.Living in America I find most Indians very law abiding and efficient(including me).
But,the point to discuss is that the people here actually respect the law.The rules and regulations are so strictly followed that if you try to break them you will be punished whatsoever.We don't even dare to bribe the officers here afraid of the consequences.The nature to go by law is embedded in the minds of the people here.This is what is missing in India.
The rich and famous usually escape after their wrong-doings,the laws end up getting enforced only against the average and poor people.I am not saying that this does not happen in the US, but maybe just a few cases.
Also,I often think why the bribery rate is high in India?Maybe the salaries of the average employees are less to cope up with the ever increasing expenses of their day to day lives.
Or,they know they can easily get away as nobody cares to confront or question them.
As for the spitting paan and littering part unless the man is caught on the spot and fined by law officers,people might continue doing this thinking it to be their right to freedom !Try littering on the roads here in US and I am sure the people around you will call the cops or at least show their displeasure.
And for using commodities made in the US or other foreign countries, it seems to have become a fashion.I think most Indians are fascinated by the Bollywood style.Looking at the style of actors and actresses of Indian cinema what do we want? We too start going for foreign brands!
So, in the end I think the whole system needs revival.Of course the citizens should do their duties, but in return should get positive results from the government.India is already in the eyes of the World and I hope a new golden era would arise again in the history of India.I sincerely hope that India becomes a country where, people from other parts of the world would like to settle, and not vice-versa.I am sure every Indian has this dream and would like to mould the people and themselves as they dreamt.
