Everyone seems to shift the blame to the common people. They say that lack of initiativeness, responsibility and educational awareness are several key features on the basis of which they should be criticized for what they term as political irresponsibility in case of disasters.
My take on this issue is that we need to work on several basic systems which constitute our society. The important ones are:
1. Legal System - As a common person, i feel that people dont trust the legal system we have today.
2. Education - It has become an industry nowadays with a race to earn money through this social necessity.
3. Health Care - Just had a look on the Doctor's fees and the kind of service they provide. I personally feel that the medical stream has become a liability to the human society today.
4. Public Distribution System - Give me an example of ten cities in India, where its fulfilling the requirements perceived by the common people.
5. Accountability of Public Servants - It scores quite low.
6. Tax collection - Lots of people are paying the taxes for the services which they never get.
Its continous failure for which the policy makers/implementors are responsible.
