Where is the fault-----?

  Recently , there were elections  held for village panchayats in Haryana.Nominations were to be filed. The notification made it compulsory for the applicants  to be matriculates if they wanted to contest the elections for Panchayat.It seemed to be a very welcome step on the surface.But soon voices of objection could be heard from the women at the different levels.And quite right they were.Whether it was practical or not, the contestant could be asked to attach a proof that there was no High school in the village where she spent her school going yearsto get the condition of being matriculate waived.Isnt it a fault of the government if a girl child is not given her basic right to education ?
  Women took the case to the court. Their plea was that it was not their fault that they were not educated. There was no high school in the village.The honourable court rejected their plea.But only one thing surprised me. If an undermatric can be an MP or an MLA, then why not  a member of a Panchayat.
   What is the fault of that child whose parents are too poor to send her to school? Now don't say that there is free education in our country.There is no limit of poverty.When both the parents go to earn a few bucks, the child may be baby-sitting the other siblings or cooking meals for the family or doing household chores.Where is the fault of this child?
  Why should a child be denied right to education because the  parents are not aware of the need of education?You can say that there are teachers for this purpose.How much surplus staff does the government provide to go from door to door and make parents aware of the need of education?So if the child is uneducated ,where is the fault of this child?
  Why should a child  be denied the right to education because certain high cast people don't want their children to study with them?Recently I got aware of this fact that there are people who are so so backward minded that they don't allow their children to study with the children belonging to certain castes.The children of certain castes are made to sit in a separate line or wear a different colour band or so.It did not surprise me but stunned me that after 68 years of independence we are so so backward .Still 100 percent literacy is a distant dream.Most of the Indians are illiterate.Some in the 3 rs and some in the field of social development and patriotism.And my question willalways remain unanswered-where is the fault of the child? Her only fault is that she is a girl child, she is from a poor family and she is born in a country which is so so backward.

A call to the citizens of India

  Today I read a message on whatsapp.A really wonderful message-a message having so many such points which I had always dreamt  to be a necessary law of our land.We  the citizens of India are just coins in the hands of our politicians who just toss us as per their whims.And we are all at fault.Every thing has a limit. To go on tolerating should also have a limit.Why don't we rebel? Many a times I think that we are all beggars, not choosers.The time has come that we shoud all ponder over certain points which we often hear but just ignore accepting it as a part of our destiny.
  Parliamentarins should not have pension.What an injustice for the people of India! A polititian remains in office for  a few days  and becomes a pensioner for life. Why?Is this facility available any where else?If a youth become an MP for a few days, he becomes a liability on the tax payers.Our finance department can not give us reasonable old age pension, it can not give us free medical care, it can not give  free education, itcannot give us social security but it can feed politicians for life.And no political party advocates to end it.God save we Indians!
  Politicians are also just like ordinary citizens, they should be paid when they are serving in an office.They can also manage their lives just as other Indians do.This way they can better understand how a common man lives and how he faces various problems in life.
  All facilities for parliamentarians  should be the same as for all Indians.There should be no pay revisions in the parliament. Pay rise should be according to a set formula. Actually there should be no pay commissions for government employees even.Why so much unnecessary expenditure?
  When we are to join a government job, we have to get our police verification. Why does this rule not apply to politicians? Though I doubt if we will get enough parliamentarians with clean record to run the parliament.
  There should be age limit for parliamentarians as well.If a government teacher can not teach after the age of sixty, if an officer can not run the administration after the said age then how can the parliamentarians  run the government after the age of sixty?
  Government advertisements motivate us to leave gas subsidy ? But why? This subsidy is just a peanut if you glance at the subsidies enjoyed by the parliamentarians. They get heavily subsidised food in parliament and they have no shame to enjoy this facility They get free rail concession for self and for one more person if I am not wrong.They go abroad for their treatment Are our doctors less capable? People from other countries come to India for treatment and go satisfied.If  a parliamentarian wants to be treated abroad, let him spend from his pocket.
  We want our politicians to be one of us and not above us.The day they understand it,  and the life of all Indians will change and we will soon be having  a properous India
