My India........My way!!!

It is 26th January,2010. Today, our constitution completes 60 years of existence. Feel proud?? Well, I do not. The fact which is really bewildering and horrifying is that how much has our constitution really changed over this long span of time.
Sixty years, that is nearly the average expectation age of a human being. Age, which signifies growth, development,maturity and decline. But did our constitution also go through these stages in its lifetime, or it is constantly on the decline?. And I am not cynical, just a little critical. Well, I do admire the creators of this wonderful piece of existence at that time. But do the same conditions hold true today too? The articles which were put together sixty years ago were undoubtedly the work of visionaries and revolutionaries vowing to bring a tsunami of change into the Indian society and value system. It is the longest written constitution among all the countries, and is very exhaustive and complete in its approach.( Indians were never known to be men of few words! ) But it is also one of the most confused constitutions of the world. The articles which stood for social equality sixty years ago are now the pillars of social disparity.
I do not want to cite examples here, because i know there are some fundamentalist and oriental parties and people looking forward to such issues to create some chaos. And the amount of chaos they have already created is the maximum India can bear. Riots, lockouts, dharnas, hartals etc give the already lazy junta some more time to relax and enjoy in the comforts of their homes. Simply because they are not among those who are inside the riot, not the ones facing the injustice. What they fail to notice is that they might be the next victims of the same.
Yes, the constitution has indeed had about 94 amendments in the last 60 years, but much of it is still outdated and unnecessary. The amount of stress laid upon the eradication of social inequality and providing for provisions for the same are now no longer necessary. The division of the society on caste has been created by the constitution, which was to serve as the facilitator of equality in the first place.
I know I am no visionary myself, I myself work for an MNC selling products in India and transferring the profits to the French masters. They use Indian designers, engineers, labour, suppliers, managers, machinery and raw materials. And still, the profits go to the French government, simply because nobody from our country will believe in the credibility of 'Indian' products. It is high time we open our eyes and see through the game played by the foreigners on our land, using our resources.
I am not a patriotic either, and don't want anybody to go into the army fighting for the country after reading this article.(It's good if you do, but!) I just want people to think, what we have lost and what more is to be lost.(Who says negative motivation doesn't work?) I want people to innovate and rejuvenate the dying spirit of Indianness.
And, to whom does this task of innovation go to? Naturally, not the politicians, whose eyes are already plagued by voraciously seeking for power and money. They never cared and would never care for an 'India Shining'. This task has to be taken by people like us, the 'Technical class'. The people who can read, understand and comprehend. The people who can see, imagine and demand. The people who ponder, act and illustrate.
With this note, I invite you to be a part of this revolution of 'Technovating India'. Imagine what would happen if for one day, just one day, all the Indians start working for India, their own country. That would be the day when the whole world would recognize our power and we will restore our long awaited respect in their eyes. And that is the day our 'Mother India' would be truly proud of her children, her very own children!
