When you hear the words 'indian citizen,'what picture come to your mind
Answers
Answer:
A person is called good only when he has the appropriate and adequate qualities of being so. A citizen is a person who lives in some particular country, so, we would call a citizen good only when he would be found to have the qualities requisite for this citizenship. He must have the qualities of head and heart and behaviour which could justify his being a citizen of the place. Now in this context, when we stay in a place, we are called good, only if we follow the rules set in all spheres of existence. We should exercise our rights that accrue to us by virtue of being citizens in right earnest and honestly, and should never trespass the rights of others. Above all, we must know and realize this basic thing that, with every right we are enjoying, there are corresponding duties which we must do as citizens. Rights and duties are two sides of the same coin and cannot be separated. So in a nutshell, a citizen is a person, an individual who enjoys all rights conferred on him by virtue of being a citizen and, at the same time also does all the corresponding duties, willingly, happily and meticulously. This is in brief all about a citizen. So far so good, now, let us study the situation of a citizen of India. How for we, as citizens prove to be worthy of the name is for us to see, understand and analyse.
Those who live in this country have, like in all others countries got a host of rights and their corresponding duties. However, the situation in India in this regard is rather dismal. This is because all have learnt rights and verbatim according to the Constitution but, we have never yes, never bothered to be particular about our duties as well. We enjoy and fight for our rights. This situation is absolutely shameful and derogatory.
According to the Indian Constituency for instance, all of us have been granted the right of freedom of speech which we all use to the maximum, not knowing where to stop. We have never been allowed to speak so very freely that we can abuse or pass insulting remarks about anyone. We, it seems have understood that freedom of speech means, say anything about any one and say it anywhere in front of anyone – this is our miserable interpretation of freedom of speech. In reality, we have been granted this freedom to be able to express our views about things, make mention of our desires and feelings but, not abuse anyone. However, even in the highest realm of the political arena we see leaders hurling abuses at each other in pulic, using the most discourteous and unparliamentary language, in reference to each other. Is this the freedom of speech sanctioned to us? When this is the understanding of rights in the highest rung of the ladder, in the highest strata of society what do we hope to expect in the remaining stratas of society. So what we understand is that in India we have all been very well tutored aobut our rights, but, the corresponding duties have been lost somewhere on the way. Most of us know our rights, enjoy our rights to the fullest extent but, when it comes to duties we forget them very systematically.
