The Great Indian Public

           

The “Great Indian Public” which mostly constitutes of the “Great Indian Common Man”,is indeed taken for a ride. With all the scams and scandals tainting the Nation every now and then, what is he actually thinking? Rather what his perception is? Has it changed? Obviously it’s bound to change. Now, he doesn’t look at the Government with hope, but with Suspicion. In fact it won’t be an overstatement to say that almost all the Government Activities are seen with distrust. No, it can’t be called cynicism, he has precedents from the past, so can’t blame him and the reputation of the government has also become such. However, objectivity should always be vouched for and followed.

“Common Man” is not sly and indolent, he is in fact diligent and has his own work to do, earn his bread, feed and look after his family. And Yes Dream, dream for a better future, if not for him at least for his children. And yes he still stands for his rights and being a bona fide tax payer of the country; he is liable to know where exactly his hard earned money is being spent. In the walk up to the 2014 Lok Sabha Elections, each and every  party is vying to make its presence felt and also are trying to make a positive impact on the people, under the current circumstances, positive impact is quite unlikely. Nevertheless they are trying their best. Some of them are keeping their cards very much close to their chests, whereas others are openly flaunting them. But, should the common man be influenced by political games and stunts. Certainly not, they should be looking at the credibility, integrity ,the potential and the previous work done. Though some of the qualities may be very elusive, but they can’t be compromised. People in the rural areas may at times get swayed by false promises or even inducements, because they are not  that educated and most of them are completely unlettered .But, what about us, people in the urban parts, our voting percentage is minimal ,and I feel that’s one of the chief reasons that  wrong people get voted to power. It’s high time that we not only indulge in intellectual discussions but also vote, because only grumbling about won’t help we need to act. Lastly, with all my  humility I would hope that the “Great Indian Public” knows what it is doing and saves our Great Nation from going to the dogs.
