How do we know when security has improved?
That’s a challenging question for policy makers who are responsible for making
well informed decisions about national development.
Tough to say. Should we go with
the idealistic “I Change, You Change, Everyone Changes!” or stick to what has
been happening in our nation from the past 65 years; “Iss Desh Ka Kuch Nahi Ho
Sakta”. Should we blindly trust a political party and hate its
rivals or join Anna Hazare in his undemocratic but democratic revolution?
Personally, I would go with the
idealistic change. It may sound optimistic or far-fetched, but it makes far more
sense to me when compared to the other possible solutions.
Also, I did have a personal experience
which fueled my belief in this theory, the irony being, I inspired myself.
Once a pair of old uncles from my community had come over and coincidentally it
was when Anna Hazare ji was fasting for the Jan Lokpal Bill. Just before
departing, the topic of discussion was corruption (inevitably). At the door one
of them said, “Corruption ka kuch bhi bolo sikhate toh hum hi hain na ghar pe (call
corruption whatever you want, but at the end of the day, it's we who teach it
at home!)".
I said nothing but just before
I shut the door, I proudly said, "Uncle jo bhi ho, mere mummy-papa ne toh kabhi
nahin sikhaya (Uncle, whatever it may be, my parents
never taught me that)" and slammed the door.
