As another Independence Day knocks on our door, we can't help looking forward to a better tomorrow. This August 15, let's take a chance to think!We made the common men wear the thinking cap and propose changes, reformations and alterations that they think can contribute to a brighter future for our nation. Here's the list of proposed changes...
1. KRA's & accountability of MP's ���When every odd job and employee in our country is assessed on the basis of clearly defined ���Key Result Areas���, the performance of the so-called ���well-wishers��� of our country definitely demands a fair assessment! Consequently, all deserving candidates should be rewarded, while a bad performer has to bear the brunt.
The MP���s and politicians should be treated according to their performance,��� suggests chef Devraj Halder.
2. Mind set���The mindset of the Indian people definitely needs an overhaul. The day people feel that it's 'My country���, there will surely be positive changes in their approach towards everything,��� opines Mahesh Srikanta, a Mumbai-based media professional.
3. Responsible youth���It���s high time we stop blaming the government and get rid of the ���It���s government���s fault��� attitude! This is the time to take charge. The youth should become more responsible towards their country and realise the fact that no one else, but the people of India chose their government...so better blame yourself for all the chaos!��� exclaims Noor Enayat, a Delhi-based PR professional.
4. An end to moral policing���It is time to break free from the barriers of moral policing and set a code of moral conduct, where individual freedom deserves utmost respect. The government should shift its focus to other important issues rather than raiding pubs or indulging in round table conferences to fix the dress code for women,��� says Mohika Gupta, a journalist.
5. Overhauling of the education system���The government should realise that students don���t need initiatives like scrapping the class 10th board exams, but the need of the hour is the complete reformation of the education system. ���Relevant education��� should be heralded! The condition and quality of education provided in government schools should be improved and higher education should be streamlined to be in touch with industry. In short, we should stop taking short cuts and embrace educational reformations that will benefit the students and the country in the longer run,��� says Harish Kumar, a chartered accountant.
6. Responsible cinema���Since the youth is deeply inspired by what they see in films, there should be a paradigm shift in Indian cinema as well. Rather than sticking to slapstick comedy in the name of entertainment, focus on responsible and meaningful cinema,��� opines Raghav Dasgupta, a student from Delhi.
7. Better journalism���The amount of footage given to celebs like Chand and Fiza or to Rakhi Sawant made me say that. I think there are better events/people to cover,��� feels Tariq Khan, an Indian techie.
