It is not just me but we all youngsters want to see our country as a super power leading the way forward for other nations.But what we see is little progress and problems like terrorism,infiltration in kashmir,naxalite menace,unequal distribution of wealth and not to mention corruption is eating our country.
India with it's vibrant culture and democracy can make great strides if we get leaders of great vision and commitment.Our culture(our values,beliefs,thoughts think and reflect for a few minutes) is something that every Indian can be proud of.There is life in whatever we do,a human touch and compassion and a healthy way of life that has been passed along for centuries.
The constitution is also unique.It is the lengthiest written document in the world.If it has been possible for our democracy to exist as a unit for such a long time it is partly attributable to our Constitution.I ll share what i know about our constitution in future blogs.
A leader of the nation for me should have the following characteristics
*An understanding about our country,it's heritage,diversity, history and values.
*Vision for the country
*Able to foresee and forestall problems
*Strong in his thoughts and action
*Committed to his works
*Understands the responsibilities of people's mandate
*Imbibe a sense of patriotism,a sense of pride in the people and take them along in the development process
*Shows Zero tolerance to corruption and extremist elements.
*Make the youth play a part in the development process and share their aspirations for the development of this country-after all we are 50% of this country's population.
If we as responsible citizens think and decide on what kind of a leader we want to lead from the front,what kind of members we want to be seated in our Parliament and assembly and cast our votes we will have leaders of substance.It is time we literate and young people vote consciously and make a continuous assessment of our politicians to have a leader who shares our vision.
Happy to be Indian...!
