Do we all
need to speak up only when there are campaigns? It is like questioning our own
morals that we inculcated all this while.
All that was
needed was a small push in the form of an initiative taken by #Strepsils, Facebook, Twitter to make this
very innovative website http://www.abmontubolega.com/ , where anyone could give their opinion on different issues that are
of concern these days. These issues have been prevailing in our social and
political system for a long time. Some are in a dormant state and some are half
activated. We do not have the courage to face the consequences being a normal working
class citizen of the country.
This is mainly
because the mentality of the general public is not able to bring about a
change. For instance, if one person stands up to go against injustice; say
female trafficking, there is
someone out there to oppose it just to keep himself out of the legal muddle.
Media has become aware and is portraying such social issues on television and
in movies, but practically all social issues are not being addressed. The
current government headed by our Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi has started
taking some positive steps, which is why organizations are coming up with
positive ideas because they know that someone out there in the government is
there to help them sort issues and show them a ray of hope. Nonetheless,
whether government helps 100% or not the voice of the general public that
constitutes a nation is the most powerful. When one person stands against a
cause no one will care, but when a nation stands for this cause, everyone cares.
These can involve the educated who have
access to the Internet and are aware of the social calamities that are prevailing
for ages.
In order to
prevent our democratic system from rotting #AbMontuBolega have made an attempt to give a voice to everyone's thoughts. Those
thoughts which have been stuck in the throat like bacteria, thus preventing us from speaking up. We
just need to gulp down a Strepsil and clear our throat in order to make
ourselves heard. We are relieved of the so called congestion in our thoughts
and mind. The fear of speaking up should go; just as
a throat irritation can be soothed by taking
Strepsils.
It takes a
lot of courage and creativity to bring out a campaign like this where one can
talk about #Make in India, #SwachhBharatAbhiyan, #ISL, # ShameGame
etc.
So, we all
are those Montu's who keep listening to others advice and never have the
courage to follow what our heart says and what is right. It is high time we
spoke up what was in our mind. Anything that is even close to injustice should
be voiced out and discussed so
that a solution can be given. All we need to do is just get to this website and
put down our thoughts. The more the number of ideas, the more will be options
to provide a solution. It is we who know what are those issues which prevail in
our area and if we out it out on public everyone gets to know the issues.
Let us
take the example of the #SwachhBharat campaign. We have to retrospect whether
we want our future generation to live in a clean India that progresses as a
developed country to bring it down to a sham. A clean India will give rise to a
healthy India. Healthy is the only
wealth that is going to ours forever.
When there
can be cleanliness in a few places, why can’t it be maintained uniformly all
over?
Why only the
so called upper class gets the opportunity to live in a clean place? Why the
under privileged needs to suffer? We need one Prime Minister and his team to
instill these thoughts in us.
We are the
future of our country. If there is hardly any cleanliness, mortality rate
increases and a country which could progress so much starts having its slow downfall.
We all want to breath fresh air, eat and drink fresh food and water. It is only possible if we
maintain a clean environment. A clean environment is a green environment.
Disposing waste properly, recycling waste, building a proper drainage facility,
sewage treatment and clean sanitation facilities can make our country a better
place to live in.
Citizens
will not try emigrating to other countries. This is something in which we can
participate easily. Giving our 1% contribution also matters for 100% results. We have to maintain cleanliness in our
surroundings and our home first and then talk about the locality.
Let us all help build
a beautiful nation.
