Opportunities And India

Two levels come to my mind, when I start to think of opportunities in India. One is my own level, that of a student. While the other, is of the working class. The job of the former is to grab the opportunities created by the latter. It is like a full-fleshed system. Any disturbance in either of the levels will lead to the underdevelopment of the state. Both must work in tandem to each other. If opportunities are more, and grabbers [as I would be calling them] are less, then the value of work will go down. It reflects lack of interest in the field of work. When a population starts to edge away from grabbing opportunities, there is hardly anything that the state can do. However, this never happens. This is because everyone must work to survive. In addition to this, people are always looking for better opportunities. When a person leaves an inferior job for a superior one, there is already a rush to occupy his space. It is like a chain and it starts from the worst job to the best. The chain never ends, as complete satisfaction in human life is impossible to achieve. In addition, a man can never enter a state of complete dissatisfaction too because no matter how bad a job is, it always offers something.

Now, the problem occurs when grabbers are more and opportunities are few. This is a very grave and dangerous situation and the state must act in order to deal with it. If left undealt, or ineffectively dealt, it can lead to protests, fall of the government, internal disturbances in the form of strikes, lockouts or dharnas and even mass revolutions, which might even lead to the fall of the state. Hence, the state must be careful when dealing with the O’n’G ratio. The best examples of such a situation are none but the third world countries. Here, due to underdevelopment, illiteracy, malnutrition, corruption and vast spread social, communal and regional differences, a proper or satisfying O’n’G ratio is hard to achieve.

Now let us get back to the levels I discussed in the first paragraph. Let us take the example of India. In India, the grabbers are doing their job perfectly. I mean, look at the amount of talent India has. Students from all over the country give hundreds of entrance examinations and only the extremely outstanding are selected. Students work as hard as they can and obtain sky rocketing percentages in boards and then sit for entrance exams. However, not every student makes it to a college or course of his/her choice or preference. Why? The reason is lack of opportunities. The other level, which is supposed to be creating opportunities, has completely failed in India. The reasons do not matter, be it corruption or favoritisms. What matters is that as both the levels are interdependent, the failure of one will affect the other and bring down the state. Hence, India fails to progress and develop. Grabbers do their job properly but the other level fails. Result is, G>O , which means the state fails to offer an apt amount of opportunities to the individuals which in turn results in unemployment despite literacy rates shooting up. This leads to immense and widespread humiliation and disgust among individuals, which in turn gives rise to a revolution. I keep the Maoists on the same line as they never got the opportunity to study hence they decided to start a revolution rather than perish. Indian government has disastrously failed to create opportunities and hence must face the axe of internal disturbances in the form of tribal rebels and organized armies. The only way out of this is the creation and cultivation of opportunities. They say we are a better country today. However, the real picture is hardly visible. Soaring Sensex figures and GDPs along with National incomes do not reflect a country’s growth. The actual condition cannot be dealt with by making speculations about the shining tomorrow. I ask, will your future be bright when your present is dead n dark? When you know not of the consequences of poor governance, you know nothing of future. The O’n’G ratio must be taken care of. India needs Indians , and she needs them badly.

Indian Youth And Politics (ref. DU Politics)

"Politics is the last resort of the scoundrels"

With such terrifying proverbs attached to its name, politics is already an infamous career opportunity. Cunning and sharp minded individuals come out as millionaires after entering politics. They gamble their money, time, future and at times even their family to emerge as a winner in this dangerous and infamous game. This is the situation of politics, atleast in India.

Politics has triggered the number of criminal cases in India. MLAs n MPs use their designations and red beacons to do everything against the law and the state. Countless MLAs n MPs are behind bars or have numerous FIRs laodged against them. Rapes, murders, abductions etc. all are crimes committed and supported by most of the politicians in India. To name them is not enough, to launch FIRs is not enough, it is useless to waste time in the court ...actually, there's nothing you can do about it. But Im not worried about the amount of corruption and crime cultivated by politics and politicians , as much as Im worried about the way the Indian youth is attracted towards it.

Imagine this, even with such a dirty image , millions of youngsters are dying to enter politics. And I can bet on my life that hardly .1% (or even less than that) are trying to get in to bring about a change. They're all for money, power and gundagardi! It reflects the mind of the Indian youth, the eagerness to be one them ..it shows how badly we have lost control of our children. Power is dangerous, it brings out the worst of qualities in the best of men. Wealth can best be described as 'Where wealth accumulates, Men decay'. We have failed to teach the 21st century children the noble concepts of Gandhi, Bhagat Singh or Nehru. The selflesness which prevailed in our freedom fighters is lost, it doesnt exist in today's youth. Today, its money power and wealth all the way. An ugly political picture still manages to attract millions of youngsters , we can draw out the conclusion that the young minds have been trained and taught (though unwantedly) to go after the 3 pillars of downfall-money, power and wealth. What is immoral, can be found in politics...what is unethical, can be found in politics...what is illegal, can be found in politics...whatever is unwanted and evil, can be found in politics. And unfortuantely, that is where we find our youth today.

There are two types of youngsters when it comes to politicals. Im not talking about haters and lovers, critics and supporters etc Im talking about the one's who want to be in politics and the one's who dont want to be in politics. The one's who want to be in politics,are after the 3 pillars as Ive explained earlier. They have a strong political base (most of them) and lot of wealth and time. They're least bothered about education and degress, about how many Agnis have we developed or the GDP or the BPL. They dont care where the Indian economy stands or what is the latest invention or development that can be used for the bettrement of the people, they're just too selfish to think about all this, not their piece of cake. However, there's another section of youngsters who dont want to enter politics. Why? How come? Who doesnt desire piles of currency notes and properties in the most posh areas? Respect for doing nothing at all , garlands made out of thousand rupee notes , lands gifted, appartments gifted, cars and properties ...Why someone would run away from all this? Why?

The answer lies in the question itself. Lets get back to the theory of ends n means. Yes there are people in this country who feel that no matter what ends they achieve, the means still matter more. Immoral, illegal and unethical means are not their piece of cake. Also, the amount of danger involved pushes themback. Maybe if we remove the element of danger, the remaining 'honest' people might also turn 'corrupt and dishonest'. But then, we must give them credit for their current status, as a little bit of risk is involved everywhere but still they choose morally and legally right means. But on the whole, this lott is staying away from politics only because they lack the base which is needed in Indian politics. If our father, forefathers , uncle, aunt, brother, cousin etc has been into politics, then you are well prepared to be one bastard too ....ooops! I mean politician too. :P

Delhi University is the headquarter of youth politics in India. It is equally influenced with all these concepts. Money is poured in from all sides at the time of elections, the winner takes home a lot of money and fame. How much money he'll be taking back home depends on how corrupt and dishonest he is or he can be. Students dont even turn up for the voting process, only close friends of the nominees make the effort of coming to the college on voting day. Hence the government formed at the University level is the same as the one formed at the Central level. Money rules and people follow. The educated dont vote as they know that the population of the uneducated and uninterested people will outdo them no matter what. But we all take out a little time in a day to criticize the government. Delhi University is badly affected by money politics and faces which you see on TV ahve sprung out of these colleges only. (most of them)

The election process is fair only if you look at it technicaly. But in reality, you already know the winner. Votes are purchased like bhaaji and paao. Independant candidates are asked to and ultimately forced to step down thanks to the amount of gundaa-gardi in India.We have no options left, only time can turn the key n open new doors which'll bring the long awaited changes in the Indian political structure.

Till then, its our:

Mr. Minister
Age-60
Bank Balance-Crores and,
Social Service-only through promises which of course are never fulfilled but modified to 'better sounding' promises in the next elections.
