We will be among the advanced countries of the world! Awnd very soon by political parties we may listen that we are going to be the richest in the world!

Before answering this question we must know what is the power of the people in this largest democracy of the world. Democracy in India is established on four pillars like legislature, executive, judiciary and media. These four pillars are beleived to be resting on the 'largest area of land' called the great Indian population. If we study the nature of land for over 75 years we may find that it has become a marshy land. Now we must put all out efforts to remove the water from this land and make it a levelled, strong and dry land where all the four pillars can be strongly erected. Whenever weakness was noticed in the pillars there were three external forces that were terribly influenced to spoil the land. First of these three damaging factors is excessive and aimless politics. As per the publication of Election Commission of India dated 23.09.2021, there were 2858 parties registered with the Commission including 6 national parties, 57 regional parties and 2796 unrecog...

According to the dictionary the meaning of vote is: A   formal indication of choice between two or more candidates expressed typically through ballots or show of hands. This meaning in the dictionary has been redefined by our politicians as well as by we ourselves, the voters. Now it has been treated like a commodity by many. Now vote is like a: Commodity for sale! A surprise gift! In the form of pick pocket! A forceful snatch! A gang burglary! And it goes on and on.  Tomorrow what will happen to it, no one knows. It has already become a burden to many. The great work of the renowned noble humen like Cliesthenes of Athens of the 6th century BC, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Charles Gaulle of France, Mahatma Gandhi, Jawahar Lal Nehru, Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar and such great ones who have built democracy in the world is gradually getting collapsed.

We  are about 795 crores people living in this world today. All that we are enjoying today are the outcome of the hardwork of countless number of people. Even every grain of rice coming to our plates are the result of many thousands of people. When we get sick we take medicine and get healed. There may be efforts of generations behind every tablet or every drop of medicine that comfort us. Each one of us are highly indebted to many people lived here or living here. Are we thankful to those humans? Do we ever think about them? Now, coming back to us. We are in this world, may be, for a few decades. If we look at our story, have we got anything in our mind that is worth to mention that we have done for our fellow beings. When we pass away from here, how many around us and how long will remember us. Have we ever fed a hungry stranger with enough food? Have we ever sent sufficient food to a poor family of your area? Have we ever asked a tired poor one whether he is hungry? ...
