Today
our first practice GD session has started. In the first half I didn't get my
turn. After lunch I got a chance. Our group had given a topic “How India can be
a superpower?” and after our deliberation suddenly mam called some of those
students who had already completed their session. Those students were quite
surprise and mam ended up by giving them a topic “Are we Unfit for DEMOCRACY??” . After hearing the topic, I found
myself with a lot of contents and I also wanted to put my points in front of
others but I didn't. It’s not because of fear but something inside me couldn't let me speak. From that moment something started bothering me but I couldn't find the root cause and with that the GD session ended up. After that my
friends were started asking me that why I am looking so perplexed but I couldn't answer them as I myself didn't know the cause. After sometime my two friends and I sat near the Administrative block and at that point something hit my
mind and I found the reason and then I thought that rather saying it in front
of them I should write in my blog so that everyone can read it.
It’s me when I see a girl is being raped, instead of helping her I just simply run away from the spot because I don’t want to involve in police case.
It’s me who sell my valuable vote just for the sake of 500 bucks.
I always fear that, what will people think of me.. and i feel very satisfied when for a moment or a day i'm able to ignore their judgments. I think when every individual of this country will think like me then that day is not so far when India will get back its Democracy and then only the definition of Democracy will be justified.
I was not actually upset because of their performance but I
was upset because of the topic itself. My heart gave the answer that ‘yes, you
are unfit for the Democracy’. Then, in my mind two people started fighting.
First one is me who I am used to be and the second one is a part of me who
wants to raise his voice against his surrounding which made him to state that previous
answer. Then after that I came to a proper answer and that is:-
It’s me when I see someone is bribing, instead of protesting
I also do the same to get things done.
It’s me when I see a group of my friends are commenting on a
girl, instead of protesting I also join them.
It’s me when I see a Father is giving dowry or taking it,
instead of protesting I just wonder how rich or poor the father is.
It’s me when I see someone is assaulting his wife, instead
of protesting I just act like I haven’t seen anything.
It’s me when I see someone can’t do something, instead of
helping him/her I start to laugh at them.
It’s me when I see someone is trying to do something,
instead of motivating him/her I start to comment on him/her.
It’s me when I see a girl is being raped, instead of helping her I just simply run away from the spot because I don’t want to involve in police case.
It’s me who sell my valuable vote just for the sake of 500 bucks.
It’s me who don’t want to do the things which I love to do
because of the fear that I am going to be judged by my surrounding.
Yes, it’s me a common people of India who have been reading
about Democracy since my childhood still not able to find where to find it.
Does the Democracy mean all this? Do you think we are
actually democratic people?
Who are we to comment on anyone’s shoes, dressing sense, knowledge
etc.? Like us they have also rights to
live their lives in their own way. Who are we to choose what’s better for them?
Let them decide what they want to
do. After all this is what Democracy
means to be.
We people are blessed with this Democracy still we don’t
care about this. Starting from the morning till the end of the day we people
are just doing compromise because of the fear that what people will think about
us.

I would like to end up with a saying that “Sabse Bada Rog, Kya Kahenge Log”.
