What do most of us claim in our country? What should be our attitude as responsible citizens to make our country better? (My Vision for India)
Answers
Let's Be Responsible Also
Most of us, almost 99.999% of us claim our rights only. Our fundamental rights, our comfort, our luxuries, our pleasures, our earnings, our savings, our interests, our likes, etc. are so dear to us that when we feel any encroachment and any threat to them, we raise such a hue and cry. We quote such-and-such articles from the constitution to prove to the world that our rights have been deprived of us. We are so stubbornly selfish.
But when it comes to our duties to our country, we complacently assume, ‘It is not my job! Someone else will do it!” Everyone just turns a blind eye to the outrageous wrongs being done to the environment; because raising voice against the wrongs implies devoting one's time, energy, and resources! 'Who will have fun then? My leisure will be wasted! I alone can't do anything!' This is what everyone thinks when it comes to doing one's duty to the nation's welfare.
The present critical problems that are hampering the advancement of our country exist because of this apathetic attitude. If Mahatma Gandhi would not have fought the British, who would? If Mother Theresa would not help the poor and the afflicted, who would? The way we are handling our country doesn't augur well.
To make your country better you should start with yourself and make yourself a responsible citizen first of all. Rather than expecting from others to make an effort you should start with yourself.
As a student, you should be willing to put all your energy and effort to your studies so that you will be able to serve your country. Not only students who are young but everyone can learn to become a better person, learn ways to improve the environment of our country. Think about the measures which can be taken to control the pollution which is increasing.
You can also serve your nation by following the rules and regulations. Many people tend to break laws because other people are not following it. If you take a step to follow the rules then someone else might also start following it.
Rich people should help poor as they can afford to help them. The reason for the countries being a third world country is that rich don't perform their duties and help poor. People should also raise voice against the things going wrong around them. This is also one of the reasons that people don't take action against the wrong going around them and then they blame the government for not doing anything.
Running a country is not an easy task and it cannot be done by the government alone every citizen has to take part in order to make your country a better place to live in.
The points mentioned are really important to be followed in order to make your country a better place and it is very important for the development of the country. And this requires a collective effort of every citizen.
