Sir,
We have been witnessing startling events happening at this critical phase of national life. Time is really tough and studded with formidable trials and tribulations which warrant immediate attention followed by stern remedial action by the people holding levers of power. Deeply hurt and piqued at superlative degree of inertia & mal governance one is constrained to comment that the people in the driving seat have a vested interest in fatalistic status quo. Instead of undertaking some kind of realistic self introspection, Self Analysis for the purpose of hammering out some concrete action plan to initiate the process of radical change in the system. The wide spread rot is allowed to stick around and multiply in regular progression. Things are, therefore, going from bad to worse day in and day out.
Mind boggling revelation of use of tainted money in the IPL circus, though tip of the iceberg yet it is strong indicator of all pervading corruption in different segments of our system of Governance. It sees the corruption has become a way of life in our country with deep penetration into sub conscious mind of people in authority and ultimately culminating into the flash point of moral turpitude. The burning question is who will stern the rot? As of now nothing is happening at Govt. level excepting half hearted knee jerk reaction treatment in the form of selective patch work aimed at siphoning off public money.Probes are instituted, prolonged court trials are held but the proven culprits go scot free in absence of cogent evidence. No efforts are made to revamp the Judicial as well as police system in keeping with the changing times.
We are just carrying on the imperial legacy by sticking to the British model which is unsuitable and uneconomical in the given circumstances. This is disgusting and unfortunate. the long pending issue of electoral reforms has been relegated to the back burner. Switch over to presidential form of democracy can be the most viable option who will bell the cat and become the catalyst of change is a million dollar question. The magic solution will emerge out of unity and concerted action of vital segments of society viz intellectuals, women, youth, tribal and the rural folk. They have to take the SOS call. The iron is hot, strike it now for catapulting the nation into topmost slot on the world horizon.
Yours etc….
