WHO SAYS THE NATION HAS FAILED?

 WHO SAYS THE NATION HAS FAILED?

Who says that the nation has failed. The nation has immense resilience to fight back. Look at the following list....

1. The medical fraternity...No Doctors and Nurses have run away despite the fact that  for now nearly two years, they have not had leave and have been in the middle of an unknown unpredictable virus risking their own lives. There is no Doctor who does not attend hospital and does not advise patients online, on phone and whatsapp...most of them are sleep deficient ....their own immunity falling while taking care of immunity of others

2. Look at the police...they have been maintaining law and order, trying to infuse a sense of discipline in our heads... getting beaten and stoned at many places while safeguarding our lives.

3. Look at the network of institutions who have collectively developed and approved two vaccines, ramped up production and already produced more than 16 Cr vaccines

4. Look at the Cowin team and the vaccine administrators. Just imagine the management of a server which gets crores of hit on a day and is almost silent the other day...look at the team of vaccine administrators..who administer vaccine and watch you for symptoms before sending you home with a certificate. No more are their complaints of post vaccine complications. Look at the step by step  generation of certificates. And simultaneous database creation

5. Look at the Indian Army..who has one feet entrenched on the icy heights of laddakh overlooking all the Chinese movements..while the medical resources were all streached over, adding 1000s of additional beds, throwing open for Civilians the meagre resources which are insufficient for serving and ESMs themselves.

6. Look at the Air Force...those pilots bringing oxygen generators from across the world. Does anyone know when do these pilots sleep.

7. Look at the Navy, which have been ferrying liquid oxygen from across the globe while the ship has been asked to shed all its medical resources 

8. Look at the PMFs who in addition to their deployment in election and other security duties are also raising and running additional hospitals across the country.

9. Look at the excellent across the globe networking of MEA..has anyone counted yet the value of aid received and the goodwill India has behind this support.

10. Look at the DRDO..which has developed a drug along with Reddy's lab and got Govt approval in a matter of 10 months or so. The drug which all go into manufacturing will ease out the oxygen requirements of patients

11. Look at the Indian Industry, not only has it donated generously from its CSR but also have ramped up the oxygen production to levels that the world must be watching in awe. 

12. Look at the small scale industry...today you can find oxygen being generated in every nook and corner and a large number of them are distributing it for free.

13. Look at the large number of class IV employees.. who are treated as dirt by white collar Babu's...the ambulance driver, the sweepers ..the staff supporting medical examination..all are risking their lives daily, even dying but none have run away.

14. Look at the crematorium staff.. overwhelmed..but not lost . Think of their mental trauma...for days together they have been receiving dead bodies..with all sorts of stories such as...all family wiped out..newly wedded husband died, young son died father survived, people around making heartbreaking cries..can anyone imagine what is their psychological condition,  how do they get sleep..in fact..they get so tired that they don't sleep..after days of continuous non- sleep, they simply fall asleep when they get to sit.

15. Look at the RWAs in all societies across the country..they all have come together to support themselves and fight.

16. Look at all the educational and research institutions...they all have patiently continued research beven in lock down..worked with Govt when called for and supported students stuck,some of there efforts  is beginning to bear fruit

17. Look at the large number of NGOs and large number of self help groups which have come together, raising funds, developing Apps and websites to help those in need

18. No one in the world had predicted the scale and enormity of this second wave..but it's the Govt of the day..which is continuously getting brickbats in hindsight for everything. The Govt machinary has still not been derailed despite a couple of ministers dying...the system is still moving though many may not be satisfied.

There are many more who are ensuring that the nation does not fail. Friends may add to this list and share with others..let the impression be not created that the nation has failed..the nation is overloaded and overwhelmed...it's recovering and soon will be out of it.

WHO HAVE ACTUALLY FAILED THE NATION

1. India has an excellent constitution to govern the nation ( the public, the industry etc). Constitution has three pillars...the legislature, the executive and the judiciary. The free press is recognised as the fourth pillar. Unfortunately, there is just one pillar..the executive that works with the public and industry. The other two pillars..the legislature and the judiciary with NO executive experience whatsoever always tries to control it and that too with no accountability. The executives and the public are the most educated and experienced in the country, they contribute by way of taxes from which the other two pillars survive but still it is the Executive that gets controlled by the other two comparatively lesser educated, inexperienced but highly egoistic pillars. Just imagine, on a day, when you have to engage in an operation, you being directed to make a national plan, just imagine while your boss wants you to execute but supercedes your views based on logical arguments produced by a set of persons who don't have to execute and have no accountability. The fourth pillar, the free press is most irresponsible...for it, a smile is no news..a death is, thousand recoveries are no headlines..but ten deaths are. It's always conniving to create an impression rather than reporting the truth and let impressions be created in the minds of readers by analysis of facts...it is always pushing an agenda while hiding the truth. They always appear to have a hidden agenda, why else would two different media produce entirely different reports.

2. There are a large number of corrupt,  antisocial and greedy people who see an opportunity in profiteering from a pandemic.

3. And then there are a large number of Indians who do not wish to do anything, at best they have some information of something not having been done in a particular way, these are those selfish people who can't go out and assist even their own sick family members....these are the people who peddle their biases and prejudices...they have a limited information and try to paint a picture based on their biases

These are the three main categories of people who have actually failed the nation. They are the thankless people who do not wish to acknowledge the efforts of millions of Indians who are fighting to save others efcven at their own cost.

Unfortunately they are also Indians, it is best to forgive them but forget them.

India Today magazine's cover story this week calls India a "failed State". Shekhar Gupta in his video blog want to be "kinder" and calls India only a "flailing state". These bhondu intellectuals take sadistic pleasure in pulling India's resolve down and miss out on several aspects in their criticism for the following reasons :

1. NO nation / state can be ready for & tackle a once in a century pandemic VERY effectively. Not even the richest countries in the world have been able to do that.

2. No other country, barring a non-democratic China, has the kind of population that India needs to cater to in such a pandemic.

3. Healthcare is a state subject. It is neither on the Union List nor on the Concurrent list in our constitution. Central Govt is providing guidance, logistics support, financial resources and even military assistance to states. However, it cannot make up for the corrupt, & inefficient bureaucracy at the state level. 

4. States are showing varied levels of competence. Lack of experience & dedication of some Chief Ministers is clearly coming through. Maharashtra, for example, is being run by a toothless CM who has not even administered a small village in his life & is now governing one of the most advanced states in India. 

5. After foreign rule of 700+ years & corrupt regimes of past 7 decades, there a lot left to be done in improving the health care infrastructure across India. Number of hospital beds per 1000 population in India are 5-10 times (NOT %) less than those in advanced countries. Similar stories with number of doctors & other healthcare related infrastructure.

6. PM Narendra Modi's govt has done more to build healthcare infrastructure in the past 7 years than in many decades in the past. Feel free to compare number of new AIIMs, medical colleges, medical seats, health insurance schemes & actual number of people insured & benefitting under those schemes etc. If NaMo was expected to have fully developed India's capabilities to tackle such a once on a century pandemic after 7 years being in power, why  was that not achieved in the past 70 years?

For sure there are many deficiencies in India's overall response to Covid. But when was the last time we called our parents "failed parents" for not delivering the Olympics Gold Standard level response for a once in a lifetime calamity ?

How dare these Bhondu intellectuals & Urban Naxals call India a failing or flailing state ?

Instead of inspiring us to do more by bringing out as many positive stories of how doctors, nurses and volunteers are helping patients, these pathetic creatures are spreading negative stories and propagating moral-hurting false perceptions. India is bigger & better than such vile criticism.

Even our own kids won't listen to us if we only criticize them for their mistakes but not praise them for things they do well.

So, talk about things that are being done well and also point out deficiencies in a constructively critical tone !  If you cannot do that & inspire us to do more to help others during this pandemic, then shut the f**k up !!

If you agree with the sentiments & facts in this message, please forward it to as many others. we need to inspire each other rather than pull ourselves down during this pandemic.
