[HumJanenge] How can we Prevent the On-going Blunders in India - Is RTI Helpful ?

Dear Friends,

US, Canada, China, Korea, 26 EU nations and 10 other developed nations are on a high speed irrevocable growth path of encouraging and implementing Telecom, Media and Technology (TMT) infrastructure. This infrastructure has been growing their economies as also helping them to lead mostly a corruption free life. All this is due to their educated, mature, relatively honest and committed political leadership kept in solid monitoring and control mode by their people, quick and hawk like media and swift judiciary. 

India has already nearly destroyed one of its most essential infrastructures, telecom and it now has been brought in line with our every other dismal infrastructure like roads, power, education, health, transportation, ports, airports and so on. More importantly, a ubiquitous TMT infrastructure is a pre-requisite to curb corruption. Lokpals/Lokayuktas  and honest judiciary can bring to little extent but when combined with e governance, a very sharp decline in corruption is achieved in quickest time. We have already destroyed both the growth prospects of our GDP as also the dreams of controlling corruption.

In the absence of any other means, can RTI be used to gather necessary inputs and then combined with media quickly disseminate these to the people like a viral letting them know how our political leadership through their unintelligent, immature and dishonest commitment to their oaths which they all took when they became MPs/MLAs, ministers and so on has been taking the country behind while the rest of the world is marching ahead with improvements after improvements. Just to cite only one example, South Korea a war ravaged nation got its independence much later than India, its one company Samsung alone generates more than $ 160 billion of annual revenue and just recently beaten Apple to second place in its own backyards in US. Look at the policies followed by them and what India has done. We have no place to hide our selves from this shame.

Through this single largest forum in the country, more than 10 million as per Mr Sarbajit, lets take up what ever we can to raise this awareness like a viral among the people of India.  

Jai Hind    
 
With warm regards,

Col Mahesh Khera
