We always keep talking about how proud we are to be part of our
culture. However, what values are we leaving for the future generation? If you
pick up the paper or watch the news, the only thing you can read about is
violence, rapes, thefts, murder, religious intolerance, fanaticism, corruption,
what one should eat and not, etc. The list simply goes on.
I am sure most of us would not want to see any of these
things in our society. However, the fact is none of these issues seem to be on
the downward trail.
Some of us might think and say we are many times better than
our neighboring countries or countries with much bigger issues of religious extremism.
However, that’s no excuse for us to start getting tolerant of the issues that
we see in today’s society.
We have a central government with absolute majority, which
came into power on the promise of development. If they desire, they can bring
most issues under control if not eliminate them. The initial signs are not
encouraging. Only time will tell how they perform and take our country forward
or two steps back.
