Pl do consider: "Democracy in hands of Indians has been like razor in monkey's hands." Only solution in a legal way is that all the educated & right thinkinking people ensure that they do vote, that they vote as per their conscious and that they vote at each available opportunity - otherwise it is our children and the comming generations that are going to suffer - by that time it may be too late: and the history shall hold us accountable - our forefathers gave us a well meaning Constitution, but we are making the worst use of it. History does repeat itself and our history has been full of fights, infights and of irrational ways of managing our affairs. Mera Bharat is Not Mahan. Whose Bharat is Mahan? It needs pondering. Remedy lies in getting the answer to it. If the new generation of India is educated, rational and enlightened, it has to participate in nation building - and the foremost step in that direction is that they ensure that their names appear in voters' lists and that they do cast their votes in favour of a government of their choice. This will bring a TRANSFORMATION - within no time.

Hello Mr. Srivastava
Well, it may not be enough if educated people just vote. They too have shown in ample measure that they tolerate corruption just like their lesser educated fellow countrymen.
The very mindset of the commoner towards corruption ought to change - from lukewarm concern or even indifference to acute sensitiveness and intolerance. The commoner ought to understand with conviction that nothing else is remotely as important as making and keeping those in authority always accountable for his well being, for preserving the vitality of society and for securing the common man's future in this country.
History has real and innumerable examples that show that it is the commoner who suffers the most and for the longest period whenever there is societal decay or a political convulsion or anarchy of any kind. It would be naive to imagine that we have emerged into a kind of post historical phase where the lessons of history will not matter.
