This is India Gopi.....

It was a busy evening, I was on my way to home in my office cab. My cab driver is a nice gentleman, he is little close to me, we use to share many of our thoughts during our hour long journey between my home and office.

Anna and me were sharing some ground nuts and having a chat on that day. After finishing the ground nuts, I tried to gather the waste remains and packed them to keep in my pocket.

"what are you doing", anna asked...

"will put in the dustbin in home", I said.

He took no time to pull those packets from my pocket and thrown out of the cab in the main road and said...

"This is India Gopi..... "

Soo what... And why soooo? I got shocked.....

I didn't try explaining him, nor did I offended him. Because, I clearly understand his words "This is India!".

Because! In India, its not only OK to litter, but it is mandatory too....

Bull Shit!!!!!

It is more than a year since our prime minister launched the "Swachh Bharat" campaign....

If we take closer look in the past 1 year... Apart from some people movement, only few were involved in spreading this word of cleanliness... Where others were busy in criticising the ruling government and trolling them for launching this.

"First let them clean their heart and then they can clean India", said Congress.

Wonderful! When someone ask you to clean your home and surroundings, you will reply to them "you first clean your heart! You are religious! You are capitalist! You are this! You are that!", but will never try to think the importance of the message, and will never persuade anyone for cleanliness, since it was launched by a party which we oppose....

Great!

It is this mentality of the cab driver which persuaded him to throw waste on road.

Even before this government, there were many organization in our country tried their level best to spread the word of cleanliness in the country. Organization like "The Ugly Indian", have gone one step further by not only cleaning the dirty places but also in protecting the already cleaned places from further litters.

It doesn't matter who advocates the cause! Its the cause that matter!

In recent days our media and several other parties were claiming that, "Swachh Bharat" campaign is a failure. If it is so, don't we as a whole nation should take the blame of not taking it to a success?

This is a democracy, here every one have their right to speak, write and preach. But no one have the right to litter!

Should I be a BJPian to spread this word?

Isn't it enough, if I just be a Good Indian? I wonder!
