Leaders or cheaters?

on Monday, July 05, 2010

13,000 crores wiped away in a single day of Bharat Bandh! Violence observed in many parts of the country! Poor of the country lost their daily breads! A black day in the history of modern India where the entire nation was put to shame to pacify a section of clueless political leaders of the country. With no issue in foresight, these illusionary leaders twisted the recent government’s long term gesture of petrol de-regulation issue to build mass sympathy for them. Using power of state government’s machinery, they were able to emotionally arouse people to spread violence in various parts of the government. Now, these ‘so-called’ leaders want to be christened as saviors of the entire nation. Government looks helpless on the entire development and these leaders ‘heroes’ in the eyes of common man.

Who is accountable for this public outrage and loss to the country? Can such massive scale violent strikes address the real problem? Could something have been done to prevent this? Where is our PM in waiting, Mr. Rahul Gandhi’s leadership? Will this day pass and get lost in the pages of history?

We need leaders, not cheaters. A leader can transform a nation whereas cheaters can damage several lives and properties. Leaders inspire others to do great things in life whereas cheaters mislead others to fulfill their personal agendas. Leaders withhold great deal of maturity and take charge of a critical situation whereas traitors call themselves leaders and shy away from responsibilities.

Leaders of modern India should take cues from the acts of father of our nation. They should bring more clarity about the entire issue of fuel prices and raise real issues. People should be discussing about the real problems amongst themselves and with the government. Hopefully, we would see some concrete actions happenings on the ground soon.

I had views similar to you. But this (http://www.writingcave.com/how-do-you-really-love-your-country/) has made me doubt myself. I am not clear where I stand, but article makes worthy points.
