Well, the election time has come, and we are in debate again over whom we have to vote for..
Most people, i talked to dont want to vote, as they feel there vote is not wort wasting on such undeserving candidates. Some feel that they have no option but to choose best among the worst and some are not at all concerned...
On a lot of news channels i often see people (students, professionals, housewives etc.) saying that the 'netas are the biggest criminals of the nation' etc. etc.
But what i feel is this is absolutely wrong to say all this. Its easy to say than to do. Criticizing the politicians sitting in ac offices is very easy. Saying that they dont deserve to represent us is even bigger foolishness. The thing I want to say this is that unless you dont know how hard it is to do any job(except criticizing), you have no right to criticize.
Once i was talking to MD of a company in Bombay, and he was continously saying that politicians are thives, they will not let India grow, they arte corrupt and bla bla..It was not nice hearing that. I toild him 'Sir, if you are so concerned, why dont you join politics, get ticket from any party, fight elections win and try to correct things that you feel are not right' and believe me he had no answer. Its easy to sit outside and criticize rather than utilizing that time to correct things.
These politicians are not idiots. They have the guts to go in front of people and talk to them. Many of their critics dont even have guts to speak a line in front of crowd on mic.
They have guts to fight elections.
They sacifice their family lives for politics.
They have carizmatic personalities which make them what they are.
It is these politicians who are driving our country from last 62 years and as far as I feel they have done a reasonably good job and for those who think they havent, boss! politics is for you too!!
I have seen the sacrifice they do for what they do.
We say that politicians are thives, every body is in their trade. A MD is a thieve, a student is, a small businessman is and everyone is, at their respective levels. But we dont have guts to go and lead our country.
Its high time that we stop criticizing our politicians and our system, and if we see any loopholes, then we must come ahead and try to fill them, because this country is as much as ours as it is for any 'NETA'..
Jai Hind!!
