Really as Great reformers…


The news I read one day in Times of India(…0ct,2004)…

In Mumbai a corporate was addressing students of a college as a part of the college's golden jubilee celebrations….

“…There are three things that make me proud about India- the democracy, which through often challenged is still alive and kicking, the secularism, which has not yet been destroyed by religious intolerance, and you the future citizen, who fill me with hope….” said in his speech. He also urged the students to put to good use the education they eceived.At the end of his inspiring speech, when the thrown open to the students, the first question came to that big corporate was -”Sir, how did you make Rs.45,000 crore?” But, what was the answer to the students by the corporate is not known. we know that most of our politicians are not really honorouble first, and it is very difficult to differentiate a good figure among them. we are unforetunate to notice, that democracy, secularism, and our religious inheritence are found different meanings in the dictionary of such politicians.

So to say it is evident, most of our politicians and spokesmen have no right to preach about morality; if we go through their private life. We know very well their speeches on the thrown and practices in their social and private life are entirely different. Even then why colleges and schools administrators invite such “Big bulls” as chief guests or distinguished visitors…? It is well known, without such ”dominent persons” grace the schools and colleges will not run successfully and some such political leaders are also directors of such institutions. And this open secret is well known to students studying in the same institutions. Ofcourse, the poor students have been fed up to oppose money makers policy like collecting donations, as they have to pay the same from the hard earned money by their parents, and in many situations they are helpless to open their mouth also.

But, in the above cited incident some how their inner voice had find out big outlet in the public. And one more thing to mention here, of late it may be a big surprise, from the same educational institution, few brillient students will come out as new products of the college to figure themselves really as great reformers in this great society.
