In the search of the value system of our society?
On the occasion of the Republic Day I was pondering on the 'Republic' we live in. How it's different from other democratic & republic countries in the world. Do we really understand the Independence and the Republic? What's our constitution brought to us and on what value system it's built?
Recent news are sending shivers to my spine. From the film to a sticker in a car, we react immediately without applying the mind. I wonder whether we know the difference between Group-ism and Democracy? One of the core values of accepting the person as is he/she and to tolerate the differences are very rapidly diminishing. Everyone wants other person the way they feel is correct. Right from the present day politicians to corporate honchos to common man, this feeling is very evident. In short everyone is turning to dictatorship, this is what predominantly coming to my mind.
We fight to prove which language is oldest and in the process forget the literature the language brought to us!
We give preference to the statues and in the process forget the suffering of the millions of people!
Tolerance is OUT and Hatred is IN
Persistence is OUT and Flash March for the current Issues is IN
Social Responsibility is OUT and Individual Gain is IN
I understand that in such a large and populous country there is always a multitude of values exist. But I feel the positive points are diminishing while the negative points are spreading so rapidly everywhere. What does this mean to our next generation? Where are we heading? What're our proudest values?!!!
