There is a general belief that the biggest old age home in
the world is the Indian parliament, such ridiculous is our political system. We
cannot blame our politicians, for the law itself is flawed with loop holes and
cracks. There is a lot of flexibility in our political system which is taken to
advantage by LAW breakers. So If I were the LAW maker of this great country, there
are quite a few amendments that I would like to make.
First things first, politicians are the face of our nation, so if
politicians are corrupt, then there is
no apprehension that the entire nation
would be flooded with corruption. The root for all this is the quality of
politicians who sit at the top. I agree that every citizen be given equality in
all walks of life but there must be restrictions when it comes to leading a
nation. So the people who are contesting the election must fulfil some criteria
to nominate themselves. Every bloke nominating himself must have a basic degree
in education and must have specialised in political science. This would
eliminate illiterates from holding the office at the top. Secondly, there must
be a separate body which consists of honest people who monitor the politicians
who are being corrupt. If found guilty
they have the right to file a suit in Supreme court against the same. SC has
the right to penalise any politician even if it were the PM of this country. So
ultimate power lies in the hands of the SC. Next, there must be age limit for
politicians. The age to run the office must have a lower limit of 28 years and
upper limit of 70 (max).
Next, the education system needs to be revamped. We produce quantity but
not quality professionals. This is because of the disparity in education
systems across various states of the nation. So we have to centralize the
education system. If this is done, students will have to compete in national
level, and the competition would be even, and quality people will make it to
the top colleges across the nation. Also, all the quotas for so called under
privileged classes should be removed and all students must be given equal
treatment. This would eliminate many quacks and inefficient professionals.
India despite being a huge nation
lacks proper infrastructure be it roads or buildings, this despite collecting
taxes from every earning common man .Most of the money goes in to the pockets of
our so called leaders. To avoid such mishaps in future, there must be a web site which informs every citizen of
the country the amount of tax collected for that financial year and amount of
money spent on infrastructure development. This would enable common man to
track his tax and ensure that it has been put to proper use. Since everything
is open to public ,the chances of mishandling of government funds and taxes can
be eliminated.
Next,
justice delayed is justice denied. Although judiciary is the only thing in this
country that seems to be less corrupt, the amount of time taken to convict or
acquit an accused is simply too much. So there must be speedy yet fair justice available to the
people of this country.
Last but
not least, all the important departments ranging from RTO, police, EB, water, etc.
should have accountability and responsibility. They should clear all the grievances
within 24 hours of them receiving the same and should inform if more time is
required. Nothing should be taken for granted and status of every problem must
be informed to the concerned. They should have respect when are dealing with
people and should always remember that they are servants of the government and
its people. People have the right to question and they are obliged to respond
to the same with utmost gratitude.
If all these
stated above are followed consciously, not only the people will have faith in
its government and judiciary but the country in general will touch new heights.
If every citizen of this country realizes his duty and follows them judiciously,
then question of ineffective governance would never rise. Always remember a
country is good as its denizens and hence disciplined people means disciplined
nation.
JAI HIND!
