India. What special can be
engraved about this country that has never said before? Formerly I thought of writing
the flawed facet about the motherland. Even I dropped a composition to my diary,
as it is trouble-free to find the gloomy side of the coin. But I didn’t like that, scrambling the piece I
waved it to the bin.
Happy Independence Day……….
India is my country. And I am
among those Indians who sit in a coffee shop for hours condemning the filthy
situation of the country. I am that Indian who criticizes the corrupt leaders and
wish that Shivaji
should take
a rebirth, to bring in revolution. I am that Indian who is always ready for a
candle light march, because I am practiced to react in the way. I
am afraid of the competition. Yes I am afraid of the reservation. Just look at
a crowd of thousands & select one face. I am that person. I am just a
brainless common Indian whose patriotism awakens all of a sudden on republic
day and independent day. Yes I am the one who is responsible for the miserable
condition of my land. I am the youth, aged youth!!
Today I am at a point where life
demands a new beginning. What next (?) dwells in the minds of almost every
graduate. And roughly many of us go for foreign universities; coz money floods
your pockets there. I would not like to criticize anyone nor blame the lookout.
But I was deeply depressed by the news few days back, a Pune guy shot dead in
UK. And there are many tales where dead bodies speak out loud for justice. Why
do our students seek degrees from foreign universities and work there? Why don’t
we trust in our education system? Or is it a trend for ‘foreign-tag’? We Indians have a very typical behavior; if
there is any foreign product we worship the virtues of the product. The label
of the foreign country on the product cheers up our spirit widens our eyes and
brings a whiff of pride on our faces. An Indian made product will be looked
upon with suspicion, its quality will be doubted and manufacturing formula with
expiry date will never be trusted. Akin to the Indian products we don’t even
trust our education system. Institutes
here in India of technological and management excellence are the temples of
education. They have put India on the map of knowledge and wisdom and yet our
students want to fly out of this country to enhance their perspicacity and
adroitness in technical and management spheres. "If you have to choose
five best brains of the world, go to five IITs of India", Bill Gates ones
noted in his speech. The craze for a management degree from an Australian or
British University stems from the fact that the students fail to make it
to top management institutes of the country. Students love to study in India
only if they get the College of their choice and since merit pushes them far
behind, they compensate for it by seeking the same degree from any foreign or
European University. See the irony; our countrymen look upon these chaps with
the sense of glee and pride. Better matrimonial offers knock at their doors,
domestic companies prefer these guys and hence the craze for such degrees
remains ever on the rise.
This must come to an end. Guys India is calling, India
needs you. A nation that is growing young every day. A nation that throbs with
a Never-Say-Die attitude. Billion hopes, aspirations and dreams waiting to be
unleashed here. It's time to transform
your ideas into reality. It's time to let the spark transform into a flame of
glory. Let the reverse brain drain begin. It is India's age. Let the students
from the developed world make India a destination for their studies and let the
craze for a degree from foreign university turn out to be fake and let our
India reign supreme when it comes to spreading knowledge and information. Let’s
make our country a superpower, let us work for our people, for our country and
let our light shine on the earth…
Because, India is our country......
