This country belongs to you and me as much as it does to those who sit on the thrones of power, to the governed as much as to those who govern. Why should it be then that the Government APPROVES FIRST and thus DECIDES for the public WHO THE PUBLIC SHOULD SELECT?
How can we be free to swim in the OPEN SEAS with our hands tied behind? How can we be free to walk on the EXPANSIVE LANDS of India with our feet tied? How can we be FREE to VOTE with a gun behind our back?
India needs a New System of selecting, filtering and approving the candidates. Those who aspire to serve the nation should have proper qualifications; not only academic, but more importantly, attitudinal and emotional; they should have the prerequisites for what the job of national governance demands - sensitivity, happy-to-serve attitude, empathy, team-spirit, integrity, honesty, efficiency, accountability, compassionate outlook and easy accessibility. Or are we saying there are no such Indians?
A SYSTEM BY THE PEOPLE, OF THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE
[THERE SHOULD BE NO INVOLVEMENT OF THE GOVT. EXCEPT THAT OF A SUGESTIVE ROLE]
With Ambanis, Tatas, Mittals, Murthys et al, Academia, IT czars, Science wizards (almost 30% of USA operates on the Indian brain-power) the Indian Diaspora can surely develop a fool-proof system to select, filter and approve the candidates. It may seem impossible but I beseech my countrymen and women to believe and have an unshakeable faith in the Indian intuitive intelligence. DON’T ALLOW ENTRY to people who have consciously chosen to make Politics their Most Lucrative Business and means to earn millions! Of course, there ARE any number of Good People already there; identify and encourage them. Please filter out the lawbreakers and PREVENT them from becoming the lawmakers!
Once these Wrong People enter the election arena it is useless to crib about the problems. ONCE they HAVE our VOTE, ‘U-ME-aur-HUM’, we have HAD IT! How cheaply we let them get away with it – no MONITORING thereafter, no ACCOUNTABILITY, no VISIBILITY, gone …wooosh… and if it greaves us later, we will have to wait till the NEXT ELECTIONS… and the cycle starts again… J. WHAT A JOKE … I sometimes seriously wonder why NOBODY does anything about this… Are we not responsible for our own plight? They came, they saw, they plundered … They are businessmen, they SELL themselves, we BUY THEM with our EXPENSIVE VOTES, without guarantees, without return/replace warranty! STUCK for the next 5 years! WHY, WHY, WHY are we so HELPLESS? TOGETHER WE can BLOCK them; we will HAVE to BELIEVE that it IS POSSIBLE. Young are YOUNG because they DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS IMPOSSIBLE!
THIS APPEAL IS FROM THE HEARTS OF COUNTLESS CONCERNED CITIZENS,
FROM THOSE CHILDREN OF MAA BHAWANI, OUR BELOVED MOTHELAND,
WHO WEEP SILENTLY, HELPLESSLY ON THE BOSOM OF THE SILENCE OF EVERY NIGHT
WHILE THE RICH AND MIGHTY SLEEP IN PEACE AND PROSPERITY,
WHILE THE 77% OF INDIAN POPULATION STRUGGLE TO ETCH OUT A LIVING ON RS. 20/- INCOME A DAY.
PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION, CIRCULATE THIS APPEAL WITH ALL YOUR FEROCIOUSNESS AND FAITH,
WRITE TO THE PRIME MINISTER, THE CHIEF JUSTICE OF INDIA, SUPREME COURT JUDGE MR. B.N.AGARWAL WHO RECENTLY SAID THAT EVEN THE GODS CANNOT HELP INDIA, FILE PILs AGAINST THE ELECTION COMMISSION OF INDIA, SPEAK TO THE MEDIA, SPEAK UP ON TV CHANNELS, and INITIATE NON-COOPERATION ACTIONS AGAINST GOVT. INVITATIONS FOR PUBLIC PARTICIPATIONS and JOINT VENTURES, FOR JUST ONE or TWO MONTHS,
TILL THE MEDIA IS INSPIRED OR FORCED BY PUBLIC PRESSURE TO TAKE THIS UP AS
“A NATIONAL RESURGENCE MOVEMENT - THE SECOND FREEDOM STRUGGLE.”
“PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD.”
