"Save the Tiger" a much publicised campaign run by one of the well known Indian TV News channels. While we definitely need a campaign or more than that to "Save the Tiger", the question is, what do we need to "Save The India" from the hands of these self centered, short sighted, materialistic, money & power savvy, insensitive, completely corrupt people who are a part of all government & non-government institutions that govern the future of our country.
In light of the 2G scam, CWG scam and many other scams of the past, with 2G scam being the biggest scam of Indian history, I just want to ask some questions from myself, all of us, media, politicians, political parties, businesses and everyone. Here are my questions :-
Questions from "Us the Public"
- Why are we all silent, why is there no organized effort or a campaign that we the people of India are not coming together for? We came together for Jessica's murder case, 26/11 attacks on Mumbai and burnt candles but i don't see any such effort from our end in making the government realize or the culprits realize that we the people really care about our country and if required we can come together to save our future?
- Why are we paying taxes to this government when we know that there are enough avenues available with the government to raise money which they are missing and passing on the benefits to the already rich Indian & Foreign corporate houses and to the corrupt politicians. Can't we all come together and vow to retain the tax payable by us with ourselves till all the money that was lost as part of these scams is recovered and the guilty are punished.
- Have we the educated, financially well above the poverty line, middle class people because so comfortable with our lives, jobs, holidaying in Goa, weekend getaways, pubbing, movies, driving polluting cars and the idea of India Shining that we have stopped thinking where we as a country are headed. I know that most of us call ourselves non-political and chose not to vote in General or state elections, but how long do you think this will keep us going?
Questions to the Media (especially the TV News Channels)
- Why do you just engage in organizing discussions about the scams that took place with the same comments getting repeated in all discussions?
- Why don't you organize a campaign like "Save the Tiger" and make sure that you track the scam to the end instead of letting it go cold if you find another interesting piece of news?
- Why have you become so commercial that you have stopped doing fair journalism and started taking political and business sides? There's nothing that differentiates one from the other.
Questions to Congress
- How are you able to hold office, face the public and shamelessly give comments defending yourself even after such great embaressments as the 2G & CWG scams?
- Why are you not agreeing to a JPC in the 2G case?
Questions to BJP
- Why don't you take some idea from Mahatma Gandhi's philoshopy and call for nation wide protests if you are so seerious about the good of the nation? Are you too weak?
Questions to Business Houses
- Why can't you join the protest by ensuring that the income tax payable by you & your employees are retained till the we see some conclusion to the 2G scams case and the looted money is recovered.
Questions are many.......and i can go on but i think we'll never see any results coming out from whatever the governemt, media, Indian judicial system try to do like many scams in the past......unless we do wake up and take up the reforms in our own hands and ensure that there is a conclusion and that too in an accelerated manner!!
