I continue my discussion with my cousin Tinku on the need for Awareness of Rights, Accountability, Transparency, and Basic necessities for the common man in India. We also discuss the problem of rampant inequality in India and continue our discussion on the need for a new generation of social reformers in our society like Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and Vinobe Bhave.
Moreover we discuss the need for trust among Indians of different class, caste, religions, language, and gender in order for the economic welfare state to function so the underclass is empowered during times of crises and money comes into the hands of the common man as my cousin Tinku relates.
We need Indians and people around the world to transform themselves into saints so they can transform the world through social reform. Political independence is not enough if there is no social democracy and thus no egalitarianism.
It is the job of the citizen constituent base to keep politicians accountable by prioritizing their needs to politicians rather than merely feeding the profit margins of the powerful.
As my cousin relates, we must educate the public so they know how to think and thus can discern proper news from political and news type propaganda. An educated public can organize and galvanize not only the spirit of the good but also ignite the conscience of the indifferent and apathetic towards social justice. That may make all the difference on the road to rekindling or preserving democracy, which in a country as large and complex as India, is a very fragile thing. India needs it today now more than ever.
