Swachch Bharat a noble dream to realise

Swachch Bharat… Clean India...



Is it a dream? Is there a need for movement? an Abhiyan?  

"I an Indian"  am capable of making a clean area into an unclean area in no time. I am so capable that I need not do anything to achieve this… my presence itself is sufficient. 

I spit on roads 
I spit my paan on walls … ( i am a graffiti artist without paint and brush… i can paint a graffiti with my mouth and with a sound of pch..pch….)
I pee on roads 
I throw plastic everywhere
I have cola and throw the bottle on street
I eat burgers and throw the litter everywhere…
I look stylish i speak foreign and throw bottles, cigarettes here and there.
I make my train compartment filthy and travel hours together after that.
I vist temples and make them dirty… (let me stop here)

In india 
I+I+I+I+I……. has never been WE. I have no concern for We. The  space for I is my own home. The space for We is public space. So i have no concern for anything related to WE.

But when we talk … we declare with pride.. thumping pride  that 
WE ARE A FREE NATION. 
MAY BE WE MEAN WE= I

Therefore We (=I) have a freedom to spit, pee, throw litter everywhere and anywhere that does not concern me. When we=I are free to do all this We expect someone else should take care of the Country. Someone else should clean the country. We talk long… why do i pay taxes why do i elect a government ? I am free… I am free nation. I can do the dirty and someone else shall clean. Who is that someone? We forget that, that someone is also part of free India. 

My personal observation is that I as an Indian, act on only two occasions and talk without action in all other occasions. Those two occasions are 

1. When I have an incentive to act… mujhe kya hai? 
2. When I am coerced to act…. Kaun poochegaa? 

Fear and incentive only can make an Indian act. Otherwise Indian is free… as free as air…

I saw a person spitting in the corridors of a hospital. I couldn't control myself and encountered him… 

"why are you spitting in the corridor? Do you spit in your house?"

First, he was aghast at my attack.Quickly he gathered himself (ego is quick to kick) and like a true Indian became argumentative. With equal ferocity he asked me... 

"could you stop all those who spat like this? Why are you pointing out at me only? finally… the ultimate question… "WHO ARE YOU TO ASK ME? ( meaning i am free)". Result.. i was aghast…

The lesson is … that person who spat in the corridors of a hospital had no incentive not to spit and had no fear of coercion because i was not a force (meaning either legal or illegal force) to coerce him. 

Indians ACT on incentive or due to fear and JUST TALK in all other occasions.

Now revisit our first question. 

Is a movement required for swachch Bharat.. clean India?

WILL Swachch Bharat REMAIN A DREAM OR BECOME A REALITY ?
