World is changing with a very fast pace. Things which seem next to impossible are turning to reality. Anna's campaign against corruption in India, liberalization in Libya after the death of Gaddafi are the two recent prominent incidents, which allow me to think again that everything is possible...yeah but change may come too early is still my hallucination.
Earlier in the books, I read about various civilizations like Harappa, Mohenjo daro etc as well as of many sculptures, which details of various "Yugs" and their transformation. According to our mythology, transformation of one Yug to another took thousands of years. In modern history, British ruled India almost 200 years before we tasted freedom in 1947 fighting for almost 90 years (from 1857- first fight against British rule till 1947). While Gaddafi ruled Libya for 42 years before he died in October, 2011. However, revelation against him was for less than one year. Once upon a time, Lalu claimed that he will rule Bihar for next 20 years before his end up in 15 years. No one imagined of such a fast economic & political recovery in Bihar after Nitish Kumar appointed chief minister in 2005.
Many intellectuals claim that cause of many intricacies & wrong suffering is dearth of knowledge. I agreed their views, but also I am of the view that easy & fast access of information (knowledge) contributes lot for speedy development & change. I appreciate Anna's vision of fighting first for "Right to Information" then fighting for change on the basis of that information. Our countries corrupt & delighted politician had never thought of such a drastic speedy change of their miserable life. Yesterday’s heroes have turned today’s villain. Earlier, there was a well non misperception in our system that corrupt file of powerful people opens only after their death. Which has been a most motivating factor for them not to do good things in their life, and always approaching short cuts to achieve long goals.
In the current scenario, the ruling party members are taking every possible effort to mask the voice of team Anna to save their (ruling party members) real faces. They are blaming team Anna of being corrupt. Hence, either they will bring a law that a corrupt teacher cannot teach a lesson of morality to government OR the government will give an open offer to team Anna to join them by quoting “we all are son of same mother “Bharat Mata” come join us and we will loot country people together”. But the second option might dilute their (government) profitability share, so what next ploy they have in their bag? Heed to our PM’s statement of curbing the rights of "Right to Information" act. My suggestion to this ploy is, if ruling party really wants to save their share of profitability; best way is to curb the technology and accessibility of information. Conflict of interest is that one way government is distributing laptops (under the project “Akash”) at only Rs 1500 in colleges & universities which will increase the accessibility of information, other way it wants to curb information. I understand that our economist (sitting with policy makers in parliament) have rightly estimated the importance of technology in the development of our economy. Also the contribution of technology & accessibility of information can’t be ignored after 1991, when our economy was opened first time for globalization. At the same time they (economist) have not rightly estimated the curse of technology to ruling party members.
I believe that our economists are not good politician and they are pushing the life of our renowned politicians to hell. My straight sense is that ruling party members can’t blame only Anna for such a worst (from ruling party’s point of view) anti corruption movement, they also have to curse themselves of bringing technology & accessibility to the country.
Future is not in the favor of corrupt politicians & leaders, India is shining, technology is penetrating to villages rapidly and accessibility and affordability of information is increasing. Penetration of 3G from city to village’s level will eventually lead to maximum hits to Google, the search engine. Indian brains are very well known for their good analytical skills, which may end up in origination of millions of Annas. Facing millions of Annas will not be an easy task for corrupt leaders.
I am of the view that technology is bringing another mammoth change to our life. Hence, in this changing environment, best strategy for government & our corrupt politicians will be to change themselves before they are forced to change.
