Satyamev Jayate-The golden words, our nation's motto meaning Truth Alone Triumphs.
It is also the name of a new show by actor Aamir Khan which is aired on Star Plus. Started with an aim to build a better future for the nation. With each episode they would take up one social evil in our nation that is proving to be cancerous to the nation's development so that we the people of India can join hands to eradicate it and make out nation healthy and prosperous. A good thought indeed....we needed a kick start to check the evil in our country! May be this is that start.
So what all are the problems we are facing?? Is the government, corrupt politicians alone responsible for everything? Think again...
Giving tips to a peon just because he helped u get a form at a government office, offering a Rs100 note to the traffic police when caught without a license, students cheating in exams and teacher helping the students do that just because they have taken money to do that...aren't these crimes?? May be small but they certainly are...a cancer only develops slowly, step by step and these small mistakes which are often over looked by us are the stepping stones that help corruption grow...
Social evils that still prevail though we claim to be a modern nation and claim to be a progressive society...There are still girls in our villages for whom their mother's womb itself becomes their graves, and if they unfortunately are not killed, they are brutally murdered even before they can open their eyes to see the world...and others who are even more unfortunate are married off at the age when they are supposed to be playing...Now why am I using the term unfortunate each time...it is because their life is worse than death...
Its shocking to see that these monsters as they should be called, don't even feel guilty for their deeds. All this is happening in a country where a woman of the family is supposed to be considered as the Goddess's incarnation, they are instead seen as a bane to the family and are murdered...
So how are we supposed to stop all these things? It is not possible until and unless we the youth of the nation join hands and each and everyone of us does something to eradicate the infection that is decaying the country's prosperity. Our country is not going to be a better place by just claiming to support big leaders like Anna Hazare or joining anti-corruption groups on social networking sites...It needs an awakening amongst youth...so that they wake up from their sleep and see the decaying nation and do something for its cure...
U may ask if this post is going to help us fight corruption and other evils...It obviously won't cause any mass change but I think I can change the thinking of at least 1 of 10 people who read it and if I am able to then I would feel I have done something for my country...
This show is all about that...spreading awareness and consolidate the efforts of the youth who are willing to contribute their efforts for the nation's betterment. No one can assure if it'll cause any change but if used wisely this can prove to be a very good start to put an end to everything that is taking our nation away from growth and prosperity.
May not be a very well written post but I am sure it carries the views I wanted to share very effectively.
Jai Hind!
