Why I won't support the Anti-Corrutption Movement - Part 2

Part 1 was more about introspection, self-salvation and way too idealistic. I say it is way too idealistic, because it is  relatively easier to bring a change in one man than bringing a collective awareness in the society. I also don't suggest that  people should not support the anti-corruption movement till they absolve themselves of their own flaws and fallacies. I have set my personal goals as I intend not only to merely support but drive a movement that would bring a positive change.

The field work being done by Mr. Arvind Kejriwal and his team is highly commendable. I don't question their intentions as  they bring down the Goliaths of corruption but I disagree with their methodology. With their frequent strikes and  demonstrations, they bring the country to a standstill and hamper the growth and development of the economy. The method of Satyagraha no longer works, it rather promotes anarchy which is far more detrimental to the nation. The nation seems to erupt  at a minor provocation. The recent NE exodus which happened on mere circulation of an SMS shows how fragile our society and  nation is. So any kind of anarchy in the name of strikes is definitely not acceptable.

The Satyagraha worked for Mahatma Gandhi because he was fighting against a foreign force. It won't work today because nowadays for every  Satyagraha, there is a counter Satyagraha. This simply ebbs away the effect the movement intends to have.  

To clean the system, one has to get into the system rather than obstructing the surrounding systems. And it is not enough to clean the system as system is bound to get dirty once again. You cut down few weeds but it won't stop spawning of few more. So this movement needs farsightedness which is apparently missing. While the issue of corruption needs to be addressed but at the same time nation-building needs to be taken care of. The nation needs a direction. The youth needs hope, a hope for a better future and a better present to work honestly for the nation. It is important that an environment has to be created that is conducive to build a bright future. This environment should be such that it should fuel the ambitions of the youth in  a positive direction. Corruption can be contained if hard-work and honesty is appropriately rewarded and the greater purpose of nation-building is instilled among the youth. The very feeling of being part of something bigger is itself a great driver for honest and hard work.

I would willingly support and participate in any movement that has a futuristic outlook and a big hope for the nation and for the whole world.
