The Agony of Indian Middle Class !!!!

It’s often said in India “The Leaders of our nation are born either with a silver spoon or in the soil of countryside” 

This quote straight away takes our thought process to the likes of Rahul Gandhi (born with Silver Spoon) and Anna Hazare (born in a poor family of a small village of Maharashtra).  One has inherited the traits of leadership by dynasty and other inculcated it as he was selfless and had nothing to lose.  But both became what they are because they didn’t fall in the category of Indian Middle Class :-) (Aam Aadmi).

Mango people don’t have the privileges of being a leader or instead they don’t want to be. When a child is born in a middle class family he is brought up in such a style that he has to fit in the shoes of a man who is a responsible citizen of India. The definition for that becomes- Study in a Public/convent school, get good marks in Boards, Aim for IIT/Medical and finally start earning for self and family. This responsible citizen pay his taxes , curse government for price hike , curse police for crime , some even go the extent of taking initiatives and join INDIA Against corruption kind of organizations. But they have to back off; they back off as soon as they think that life is stretching out of their comfort zone. But that’s not our fault, it’s because we have one common trait, we don’t want to take risks. We can’t shed our responsibilities.  We take some steps forward to break the shackles but somehow give up.  

Half way through this article, many of you might have started wondering what’s new about this issue. As we all know deep inside that we have restricted ourselves in one way or other , we all get frustrated thinking about it but can’t help it . In IT terms, it’s a deadlock kind of scenario for our league of people. Whether today or in future, the building bricks of the Indian Society i.e.(Aam Aadmi) will have to realize that the resurgence of INDIA as a developed nation is possible  only when all of us collectively try to beat the system which is currently crippled by corruption , crime and many other social loopholes. Not by doing some heroics, but by getting small things in place and use our fundamental rights properly.  Then only we can pave the way for ourselves and generate greater participation among the lawmakers of this country.  

*Would like to quote* Vladimir Lenin  here:

"A revolution is impossible without a revolutionary situation; furthermore, not every revolutionary situation leads to revolution."

 

With so many corruption scams surfacing one after the another , the situation has really become alarming but it’s up to the people of India to decide as it can be  “Now or Never”.
