We, the youth of India, having solemnly resolved...

Danger, danger! In great danger are we the youth of this country. When the hope of basking in the glory of freedom that we all dreamt of, the peace that we all thought of achieving and the unity that we all strived to achieve, all of it seems to have gone thither. Yes, we want freedom, we want a corruption free state, a crime free metropolis, a epidemic free country, a terror free nation and other high end needs to be met. No, why me alone, why can’t him, why can’t she, it’s their job, the politicians are corrupt not us, the government’s got to do something, the police aren’t working, I hate that party, that man gets on my nerves and many other higher end excuses we all give to change our ‘Yes’ to a “Big NO”.

The reason why India lost the 2003 world cup final against Australia was not because Australia played good enough, but India giving opportunities to tease their own problems which in the due course of time proved too fatal in result and in embarrassment. In the same way, we the youth haven’t been taking our predicaments seriously, instead we are toying with them as though they were a star-gazing spectacle. NO! We should at once stop being a hermit to meekness and a recluse to self-controlled sufficiency. We lack leaders to lead the pack because we don’t have the youth taking that extra furlong in bringing about change. Yes, we have a great media, and that’s why we talk more and act less. We like spice, but we don’t want the change.

If alone we all changed our attitudes and looked at that beggar near the temple streets and felt compassion, gazed at the corrupt official and took a moral stand of shunning bribery, cleaned the surroundings as though it were our own home, saved resources as if our dear lives depended on it and many more integral, moral values that we are all aware of and put them into practice, we would then be nominated towards being a developed nation. We grunt about the falling GDP, mock the FM for his lack of financial inadequacy but in the end we, the citizens ourselves never gave a cock’s eye about the financial status of India.

There’s only one solution. ACT

A – Act Immediately

C – Change what’s not right

T – Think over the consequences before acting

We need supportive leaders, youth leaders, leading from the front taking up the fight and deracinating the opposition. Enough of the comfy cushion behavior, let’s just join hands, be leaders – in campuses, in homes, in localities, in districts, states and the nations. Let’s ACT to making our “NO’s” into a big ‘YES’.

Jai Hind!!!
