Hi all
India needed some crisis always in the past to enter into the next level to get global appreciation. If you look at the past history, when India was facing acute food crisis in 1960s, C Subramanian brought 'Green Revolution' and self sufficiency in food. When India pledged its gold openly in early 1990s, to resolve financial crisis and balance of payment, Narasimha Rao brought in 'Economic reforms' and we improved our financial resources.
When the Election Commission was facing crisis, Seshan showed the powers of Election Commission to set right the irregularities. When many Trade Unions opposed computerization in financial institutions in 1990s, N Vittal, then Central Vigilance Commissioner, enforced all the banks to introduce technology with his one signature.
When the developed nations refused space technology and engines to India, after Pokran I, the team under the leadership of Dr Kalam started developing our own indigenous technology and machines for space. Now, we are one of the top countries in this technology in the world.
When crisis deepened about the customer grievances in Banks and Insurance, Ombudsman Schemes were introduced to resolve the disputes quickly. Similarly, RTI Act, Right to Education Act, IT Act, declaration of assets by ministers and judges were all introduced due to one crisis or other.
If you look at our past, every crisis has helped us to go to the next level. That has helped us to get positioned well at global level. India has always been resilient, be it reservation issue, ayodhya issue, communal clashes, natural calamity, etc. India has always emerged much more stronger out of every crisis. We have also learnt to manage the crisis well.
In the same way, Common Wealth Games become Common Wealth Shame due to corruption and mismanagement by Kalmadi and his team. Now that the PM has taken over personally, I am confident that this 'shame' will be converted into a 'pride'.
Every crisis has taught us great lessons. After the CWGs are completed, the Government should initiate legal action and punish those who brought shame to us. Only then, such shameful activities will not recur. Few individuals cannot bring down the pride of billion people.
