Sir,
In a society characterised by greater information flow, we claim ourselves to be educated and knowledgeable. We discuss a lot and write a lot about various social issues. We become armchair cities and curse the Government for not addressing the grievances of its citizens.
However, an important question is that do we behave and act in a responsible way. In our day to day life we indulge in a number of activities. Are these activities carried out in a socially acceptable manner, is a question to be answered by one and all of us.
We tend to know a lot and talk a lot about conservation of water resources, yet as consumers we hardly bother to make a judicious use of water, we clamour for round the clock supply of electricity, yet we convince with lower field staff to get a favour. We claim to be educated and conscious about environmental health, yet we do not care to throw garbage in alleys and other spots making them breeding and dumping grounds.
In such a scenario, it calls for rethinking and relooking on our part and there is a need for self introspection. We as responsible citizens here to focuss on our character building. We have to be conscious of our duties and obligations towards Government when we ask for our rights to be fulfilled. The best logic lies in extending our cooperation to the Government and make the implementation of policy a success. Only then the social maladies can be solved to a greater extent.
Yours etc…..
