Even after six decades of achieving independence, India has
not been able to get rid of poverty, unemployment, gender inequality, dowry,
female infanticide, caste discrimination etc. It is not the lack of policy or
law, but the will to implement the law which is stopping us from achieving the
end result. Do we need people who are qualified and competent to run the
system? We, in India, are proud of our democratic form of governance. Elections
are our biggest festivals. Do people with the right credentials, qualifications
and vision contest the elections? If the answer is no, how do we get right kind
of leaders to run the nation.
In the current system, people elect Members of Parliament
and Members of Legislative Assembly. These elected (so called) leaders
represent us in the parliament. Due to their vested political interests they
only settle score against each other in the parliament and nation’s interest is
not even considered to discuss. Even if people want to teach a lesson to their
representative they have to wait for five years. That is too much of a time to
ruin a country.
Why we shall not consider alternate system of governance?
There should be
competency examinations held (Written as well as interview) for those aspiring
to become ministers whether in state or central government. Applicants shall
have at least 10 years of experience either in public, social or corporate
life. Those who pass the examinations and qualify to become minister should be
assisted by leaders elected by people. The system shall be completely transparent.
These leaders should be given the role of advisor to minsters. So the ministers
will have two sets of advisers. One who represent people’s opinion and second, the
very qualified talent coming through Indian Civil Services. Parliament should
be more like board room to discuss only issues affecting the nation. The
performance of the government shall be audited by audit companies of highest credentials.
We should at least start thinking about it. Where have we
reached in these six decades? Why we are not able to build world class
universities? Why we are not able to create best infrastructure in the country.
Why young ambitious Indian wants to migrate to other countries? The answer lies
in our system of governance. We need to put our house in order. Have correct
and fare system of governance. Right people doing the right job.
India will change for better.
Jai Hind!!!
