the tragedy of our nation is that those who speak of many great things are not themselves following them,Those who follow them are not in the limelight. our heroes are film actors,cricket players,money making business men. What can we expect from such role models who always think about their personal progress rather than nation,society and people. Now a days each and every one wants to be a Soft ware engineer and get out of this counry. Then whom to blame. Old veterans like Mr.Thapan who had sacrificed his whole life for this nation without any expectation, definitely will feel bad for the present condition. only power mongers,money minded,opportunists have been in the forefront and in public life, what can we expect from them. We have lost sight of what is good and what is bad for our nation. Majority of us think of today,at the most our family,then our cast. Loyalties of individuals in this country is day by day becoming narrower to the state of religion, caste, region,language. The concept of Nation is fading away. All disintegrating factors are getting stronger which in turn weaken my country. We as a whole are responsible for this state of affair. We dont support a good person in public life because majority of us think by supporting such a man we cant get our work done,hence we support a loafer who after getting power uses us and throws people,society,nation everything into docks. We who are having still that slavish mentallity still hope and depend on others for our progress and will be satisfied by a small piece of bread which is thrown to us by such power mongers. Definitely we are not going in right direction as our leaders themselves dont know what is right direction then how they can lead us to right direction. It is a sorry state of affairs where in a society and nation merit is not honoured, people are discriminated, jeolousy is inbuilt,excellence is thwarted,how can we progress. we should make it a commitment that for our personal gains we wont compromise national honour and dignity,at all times our nation stands first next everything. We have hope in people like Abdul Kalam,Atal Bihari vajpayee, we want such people who can lead us not politicians.
