Hong Kong Indians submitted petition in support of Jan Lokpal Bill

India 2.0 - Work In Progress

I feel good that some people at least have a say, a point of view unlike many other youths who prefer to remain silent! History curses those who chose to remain silent (remember Dhritrashtra, from our very own mythological stories)...they say Corruption is unstoppable. I understand that corruption is deeply rooted within our socio-political system. But, Friends! Just because something is difficult or seems impossible to achieve, we must not stop trying for...and thats the only success factor behind human growth and modern civilization. If we would have stopped trying, we wouldn't have grown. No one had imagined of Telephones even, forget about the cellphones..it was not even in dreams... what I mean is we must walk that extra mile which is followed by success. And right now a Strong Jan Lokpal Bill is the only instrument which promises a better picture of our Nation. It will take time to change the culture n attitude of Corruption but not impossible, its just that we all need to stand together without loosing our hearts...!

Look at the courage of a 74 year old grandpa. He started walking with a Clay Candle of Honesty in His Hands, against storm of corruption, and made many of us realize that we can also be torch bearers, we all have right, energy and opportunity to fight with Kingdom of Darks. I am sad that some of us still feel the age of darkness is better than light of honesty, still some of us love to debate whether there should be such a strong, independent anti-corruption institution or not... Folks from Fantasy Land! Wake up, you still have time to cherish the right thing, you can always talk, discuss, debate, suggest what you think is right but to do that please stand on right side, unite and bring more positive energy, join the movement of reforms! It's just a BEGINNING!!!

I have been hearing/reading lots of arguments on not to support something good i.e. a strong anti-corruption law which promises (it doesn't just promise but they know it will walk the talk) to nail down those who are corrupts :-) One of them and most common myth is --- 'We all are corrupts,we must Fix ourselves first before doing anything to the system'. Our friends not supporting anti-corruption movement with this argument must understand that only individual's correction won't help, we need JLP Bill because once we have it, firstly - we will not have opportunity to be corrupt because of (knowing) the consequences of being corrupt when system is in place. One of my friend quoted on Facebook, that "Once I evaded taxes by using false House rent slip, but  I never tried that in Hong Kong. Why? Is this some sort of Change of heart..? No! Just that its risky in Hong Kong.  It's as natural as now-a-days-corruption in India, when we know the harsh consequences of our actions, we don't dare to repeat such acts. This is one of the reason why our present Government is trying hard to pass a weak, ineffective Lokpal Bill which actually will protect Corrupts. And second - if I have done something wrong yesterday it doesn't mean that I have lost the right to be right today, at the same time if I am asking to fix the system by implementing a strong anti-corruption law then it goes without saying that I am allowing the system to punish me if I am wrong and thus the process of individual purification already started...So still its not too late for them to join hands together. Spread the awareness, connect with more people and ask them to unite for one BIG reason i.e. Corruption Free India.

Dear Fellow Indians! We could potentially witness when History will be written but only if we face the truth, and don't turn our back  from reality. Quit all the ego, pretentious acts, and prejudices, and forget about how much change our individual effort may bring, just be with the flow, go with the wind in same direction where millions are flying for and you will become a STORM to take out the empire of deep rooted corrupt SYSTEM!!! We are the Kings of our own Kingdom, sons of Mother India, we will settle in nothing less than Jan Lokpal, it's India 2.0 - WIP.

Jai Hind!
