We May Have Given Up But System Has Not


Citizens like us were pessimists “Ki Yaar is desh ka khuch nahin Sokata” “we are doomed” “Bahar Chale Jao”

We used to curse the government system and their lazy attitude and have given examples of west and Chinese, “Look what they have done” “we should learn from them”

We wished for overhauling of the system and emulating the same on our wester counterparts.
This dangerous corona epidemic that has brought misery to the world where we are daily seeing the proven systems are being shattered apart and people are giving up.

The same Indian system that we used to curse is brazenly fighting and people that are in the system are indefatigably standing in between for protecting the people who cursed them.

Barring two or three incidents that are due to ignorance and stupidity of the ignorant, this epidemic has brought and unimaginable unity among the people and importantly we have started to value the things that we were ignoring:

·         Self Reflection – That only the rat races that we take daily in our lives is not the end, our world can fall apart and all the permutations and combinations that we undertake and long term planning that we made can be easily cut short. Whatever the smaller and important things that we were ignoring really mean much more than that. Importantly as a Nation we can believe we can fight and come out stronger compared to much stronger powers in this world
·         Value of People – For the very first time we are appreciating the Housekeeping, Security, Doctors, Nurses, Policemen, media, Government Staff and other essential staff
·         Unity Among Diversity – Barring the storm over social media that remains there during any crisis, this epidemic has brought out the true unity among people. People from all casts, creed and religious are diligently working to fight against this epidemic
·         Innovations – Where world is grappling with the shortage of the masks, ventilators, we are producing the same through our various defence, government and private industries and that too at a much much lesser price
·         Resourcefulness – The epidemic prove us that we are capable of mobilizing the resources at much faster rates and we can take care of the food, transportation and shelter of its population and mind you we have not deployed the paramilitary and military forces
·         Stricter Actions & Compliance – The leadership has proved that stricter action can be taken and people wholeheartedly will support it and they are ready to face the uneasiness that comes with it

Many Doubtful and pessimists have antithesis on government’s handling of migrant workers, Jamat crisis, rising no of cases, uneasiness of lockdown where other countries have not followed the same.
The once in lifetime crisis for which we do not have any Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) or any War gaming done beforehand and also we don’t see any remedy of the same in the near future that gives us a optimism.

Whatever happens ahead we as Indian nationalists can at least put aside any doubts and differences and trust the people who are standing there in between and protecting us.

India have been a land of warriors and godly people, its strength lies in its people, and we will not go into oblivion without a fight.
