RE:be prepare for the worst in near future
by JOSEPH DSOUZA on Jun 30, 2007 02:54 PM

Rashmi I agree with you in very respect. The Congress has used and abused this country for decades now. Every official in every department in this country is available for a price. As Indians, we have become saleable commodities. There is corruption at every level, and now the judiciary has fallen prey as well. The Opposition Parties are as bad or worse than the parties in power. I think we need to have a Civil Movement or a Civil Programme that should be imbedded in our Constitution from now on. I am Indian first, my religion, my state, my language, my caste, my status comes last. As an Indian, my nation must come first. As an Indian, I must pay my taxes honestly, I must uphold the rights of others if I want mine to be upheld. I must have a fear of the law of the land which will deter me from breaking it in the first place. Why is it that I do not think twice before driving down a No Entry street, is it because the money in my pocket tells my brain that I can buy my way out in case there is a cop at the end of the road? Why is it that I do not declare my proper income and cheat on my taxes every year, is it because I can save money this way every year, and end up paying a smaller amount as a bribe, if the taxman was to raid my place every 5 years? Instead of advocating ideas such as Hindutva and Minority Commissions and Quotas, that divide our nation, why can't we come together as "Indians"?
