Commonly
known name of our country is “HINDUSTAN” ,the legal name of our
country is “INDIA”.But as per Article I constitutional name of
our country is “India” that is “Bharat” shall be union of
states. It is very difficult to understand this nomenclature if
constitutional obstacle at that time is not considered due to the
fact that at that time we were governed and ruled by Britishers under
the provision of GOVERNMENT OF INDIA ACT 1935. So at that time it
may be our legal problem to accept the nomenclature of “India”,
but today there is no such compulsion to continue to be known as name
of our country as “India” and we can change our country's name by
amending Article I of the constitution .Now a days and after
analyzing way of ruling of all the institution of government,I am
forced to conclude that the nomenclature in the constitution has got
some meaning. People living in town , people enjoying power and
having their support Influential class having power and money backing
are enjoying in all sphere of life as being separate class and they
deserve to be called as citizens of India , while people living in
villages and poor people are citizens of “BHARAT”.These people
don't deserve any amenities provided to citizens of India.
On
governance of this country , after sufficient analysis , I want to
tell a story. the story may be taken as a story of foolish person or
story of an idiot. I shall not mind. People are free to think and
form their opinion. But I am of firm opinion that lot of people will
enjoy by going through story if they take the same seriously.
Now
the story must be told taking name of 'god' as per our tradition and
'sanskar' which are often remembered when we are
required as a last arms in our hand at the time when we have no other
alternative to give a logical reply. Or we are on total loss of
situation. We have pride only in saying of our 'SANSKAR'
and not in following the same.Goswami Tulsi Das has written in
Ramcharitmanas “par updesh kushal bahutere, je acharhin te
nar na ghanere”
The
story in our country runs as in some part of our country some
poisonous plants have grown,its leaves were poisonous, its flowers
were poisonous, its fruits were poisonous, and even winds passing
through plants also have poisonous effects upon people. Peoples were
dying in large number and people having money and power were getting
treatment. Ultimately some idiot people started Big Rally for saving
them from plants and its poisonous effects. RALLY was so powerful
that it was not possible to ignore the same and RALLY was continuing
for several months.
Later
on some powerful and rich people took prominent position in RALLY for
taking advantages, and some to frustrate the goal of RALLY. Anyhow
one day government woke-up and announced his desire to set up an enquiry commission for suggesting means to get relieved from
poisonous effects of plants as well as from plants it self
.Participants of RALLY returned back to their homes in hope to get
relief from poisonous plants. Money for commission was allotted. Now
second phase of naming chairman, and its member was to be started.
Now the turn was of influential persons to utilizes their pairvi
has
started . One influential person was champion in getting such
assignment. He was in favourite list of government .In every
government there is such list. Although such persons are retired
high-ups, but they never retire from services by using their special
quality. Really They are the successful people in life . They are
special nut & bolt which can be fitted in every machine. One of
such person was appointed to work as chairman of commission and two
others were appointed member of commission. There after the search
for office and staff of commission has started. The government was
not in hurry. Time was passing and people's unrest was increasing.
Sensing the public unrest one old building was allotted for working of
commission and a board of commission was fixed with few staffs and
they joined their duty. Firstly some furniture, stationary were
ordered and percentages were taken. In the meanwhile term of
commission has ended .Again its term was extended and hearing of
commission started. On demand of public some scientists went and
examined the poisonous plants and submitted their report. If shortly
stated at the end of second term the commission submitted its interim
report suggesting cutting of poisonous plants. In the meanwhile
poisonous plants were growing and those plants have taken shape of
tree .After tasting much dust in office the report was accepted and
made public by next Govt. The next government directed the concerned
department to submit A.T.R.(Action Taking Report) Cutting all the
poisonous plants. Now in department file was opened and clerk
submitted his noting suggesting cutting of poisonous plants by using
Blades and then file went to table of head clerk who in turn
suggested name of blade of specific company. The file came to table
of junior officer,who has no vested interest and so he forwarded the
file to his next senior ,who returned back file with endorsement. Why
blade of this company?Again file fell to clerk, who replied that
query be replied / meted by the Head clerk as he has suggested name
of company. Head clerk firstly meat the junior officer and after
consultation sent his noting. This time agent of company also
participated in consultation . Behind the curtain everything was
fixed in percentage. Then the junior officer submitted his noting to
secretary of department. The secretary was an experienced officer and
knowing all the tricks and he sent back file with endorsement
'Discuss'. Most of people will not be knowing the effect of 'discuss'
in noting of officer. Its real meaning is to delay the matter till
the officer so desires. Poisonous effects of now poisonous trees has
taken lots of people in its effect and population of patients in
Hospital was increasing and becoming out of control. People were
dying again public protest was taking a new height. Now the
political party in power at the time of declaring setting of
commission was raising public protest. Now the time to 'discuss' has
arrived and junior officer was called by secretary of department in
chamber of Minister and questioned why file was not submitted
earlier. He has also got experience and replied that he was not
specifically directed to 'Discuss'. Similar were reply of Head clerk,
and clerk. Anyhow the secretary endorsed the proposal of junior
officer and Honourable Minister put his initial signature and order
became final decision of government. But in meantime company has
stopped to manufacture blade and they have started manufacturing
'Use & throw blades. Now the tern of other blades manufacturing
company has come to play and they started campaign for purchase of
blades financial rules were not followed and no Tender was invited. Certainly rules were not followed. So same procedure was followed
and order was amended and Tender was invited for purchasing blades.But at last same company obtained the order for supply of Blades,and
order was placed and Blades were purchased. Then labors were engaged
for cutting poisonous plants,which have become trees now. When
labors went to cut trees they started suffering deceases due to
poisonous effects of trees and some cut their own palms and fingers.
when this matter came to knowledge of department an inter
departmental enquiry was setup for providing treatment to injured
labors and to submit detail report and to fix liability. The report
was submitted that latest position was neither called for nor exact
length of trees were taken into consideration at the time of
purchasing blades. Now stems poisonous trees have become so hard that
can not be cut by use of blades and decision was taken on the basis
of six years old noting which have become irrelevant and at the time
of cutting the trees as it was for cutting sapling small plants
.Another commission was setup and whole matter took a U tern as
described earlier,which again started consuming time .A subsidiary
file started in matter of liability as well as for medical help to
injured labors as well as in matter of labors already died due to
injury and poisonous effects of trees. In the meanwhile number of
poisonous trees were spreading like wild fire and it become jungle
and panicky grips the people. Member of commission have gone to
foreign tour to know about the methods of tackling the issue. After
much deliberations commission suggested for cutting those poisonous
trees by use of Axe. Now the government took precaution(in pressure
of some one) to provide special cloths & helmates to labors for
cutting those trees .After consuming/ eating much time in deciding
supply of Axe, price of Axe, thekedars to supply
labors,etc. Anyhow when finally labors went to cut those trees in
forest the Forest department objected that 'no objection certificate' was not taken from Forest dept. Again wheel rolled back and file moved
and even court's cases were filed and after lapse of much time on
court's intervention Forest dept. issued "No objection certificate". Some people again approached court challenging purchase of Axe
,quality of Axe and supply of Axe, consuming much time. Ultimately
labors went to cut those trees and collecting at some places and some
fire caught the heap of cut trees and again cases were filed that no
precaution was taken inviting fire tender to meet such accidental
fire.
After cutting those trees for a long period it was felt that it is
not possible to get rid from poisonous trees as number of trees were
growing at much faster rate than it were cut. Seeing no other
alternative again special commission was setup to get rid from those
trees and again the old story was started,taking time as usual and
next generation has taken charge of government, but neither there
was change in procedure nor change in attitude of government. After
consuming much time commission submitted its report suggesting
cutting of those trees by use of machine. Again governmental
procedure started functioning in their usual lethargic way in matter
of purchase of machine, choosing company to supply of machine,
employment of operator or cutting of trees by outsourcing. Ultimately
cutting of those trees by use of machine by outsourcing has started.
People were happy that now they will get rid from poisonous trees.
Process is still going on. Poisonous trees are also increasing their
numbers. From one side it is being cut while from other side it is
growing and increasing in large number.
Their is no end of story. If correct decision were taken initially
to cut and destroy those trees by use of machine and to continue the
process then only the problem may have been solved or at least
contained. These poisonous trees are symbolic to corruption, pairvi,
misuse of wealth,misuse of power,greeds of influential persons. The
solution of problem must be searched at beginning of problem and work
must be started immediately otherwise problem will be aggravated to
extent that it will go beyond control of government. I am sure that
no one will take it seriously this story as it is history of this
country.
