My dear
friends,
I know most of
you who read this note are in the age group 18-35 years. Nevertheless all
Indians can read this. Friends, we have a herculean task in hand - building
this great nation. So come, let's build this great nation!
How long should
we keep lamenting the poor performances of successive governments? Why don't we
take greater interest in throwing away a bad government by casting our votes
without fail? Don't we wait patiently to buy tickets for a movie? Don't we wait
patiently for food that we order in the restaurants? Then why not wait
patiently in a queue to vote for a suitable candidate? Come, let's build
this great nation!
Now, don't say
all politicians are unfit to be elected, and so there is no use casting vote. There
are people and there are governments which have performed well, more so in the
recent past. Surprising right? It is true. Now, Ill not get into details about
people and governments who have done well, for I fear that would divert the
course of the discussion intended. So come, let's build this great nation!
Though we have
a not-so-good political culture, (which I am sure would improve in the years to
come) we have one of the best electoral processes and civil liberties when
compared to other countries. India is one of the few countries which gave
voting rights to all its citizens. So why not use it effectively? So come,
let's build this great nation!
The earth's
population was about 7.046 billion in 2012. With growth rate of 1.5%, India
alone contributes 17% of world's population. It is predicted that by the year
2030, India would surpass China's population and we would be the most populous
country in the world. With so many skilled, industrious labors why should India
have problems on various fronts? This also means, if population is not managed
effectively, it would turn be a big liability. So isn't our duty to be a part
of India's growth story? So come, let's build this great nation!
Now let’s talk
about our GDP growth. GDP growth in 2012 was estimated to be just 3.2%. Why are
we still not able to cross a double digit growth rate? We need more economic
reforms and a boost to infrastructure development to accelerate growth. So
come, let's build this great nation!
As per the World Bank reports, 32.7% of Indian population still suffer from poverty. Why have we not been able to bring down this figure to a single digit even after 66 years of independence? This in turn needs an elaborate discussion on economic and political policies. So, shouldn't we need to send the right Netas to the Vidhan Sabhas and Sansad? So come, let's build this great nation!
60 years is a
long time in a human's life and that's why people retire at this age. But for a
nation, that's too complex like India, 60 years time of parliamentary democracy
is too less. She has a very long way to travel, and that requires the
co-operation of all her citizens. So come, let's build this great nation!
Friends, this
note on facebook is not written for earning likes. This was written by a
concerned citizen of a great nation, to tell you all that elections are round
the corner; we all must get ready to discharge our duties as responsible
citizens. SO PLEASE DO VOTE IN THE UPCOMING ELECTIONS. If you do not possess
a voter's ID, please do apply for it and ensure you obtain one. Do not
blame the process for not giving one; it is your duty to get one. Come,
let's build this great nation!
Voting in
elections is not just your right; it is your duty as well!
Let me throw out a question to all of you out here. How many of you are promising me that you would definitely vote in the upcoming election and in the years to come?
Please spread
the news if possible!
Bharat Mata Ki
Jai!!
Thanks,
