The era of twenty-first century. Techno-savvy enlightened people. Active, alert, rationalist citizen, who is not ready anymore to tolerate the imbroglio in their respected countries. There is misgovernance across countries like Libya, Tunisia, Egypt, and Sudan. Revolutions are all around the globe. The intrepid fighter is on the road asking for his rights. The seethe in his heart has started to show up now. He is transigent now to seeking change. And India being the largest democracy is no exception to this. The state is corruption stricken, inflation is at its peak, women’s safety is at stake, misgovernance in every sector, discrimination, violence, and the list goes on- the Indian citizen is élite enough to understand every problem and is no greenhorn. One can hear voices ranting against the mess in the nation. But amongst all this darkness there’s a ray of hope that this will end up soon. That the common man will bring about a change. That he will not get accustomed to such tawdry affairs. There is a silver lining. We have today got an opportunity to enter into the epoch of change and we won’t let this go in vain. We will make a good fist of this opportunity.
Yes, there is helter-skelter all around the nation. There is negativity all around but the positive thing is that at least we have made an effort to surgery the complete ‘system’. For instance, let’s take up the 16 December Delhi gang rape case or the Lokpall bill which saw many citizens’ movements spar headed by NGOs and social activists. The youth joined these movements in huge numbers which drew public attention. It goes without saying that revolutions have changed the dynamies of democracy. And the good news is that there are oodles of protests going across the country. The number of pressure groups is rising; ‘Swaraj’ is what people what people want today. The Indian democratic setup has been travestied for long, which is no more tolerable by the common man now.
The Term Paper on Critical analysis of Good Country People by Flannery O’ Connor
Good Country People is one of the most sought after works of Flannery O’ Connor. It is said to be the biography of O’Connor but she never claimed it to be such. The novel Good Country People seems to reflect the current situation and emotional status of O’ Connor while she was writing the novel, and if it is not in fact her biography, her emotion at that time has influenced the novel greatly. ...
A problem can be completely uprooted by studying its grass root level and changing it. When the leaves of a tree get dry, we never water them! Instead, we water the roots of the tree because when the roots are strong, so shall the tree be. In the same way, to put a halt to the travesty of Indian democracy, the revolution has to be initiated at the grass root level. Every individual has to resolutionize to himself to work with an honest intention to serve the nation. We have to resolutionize to respect every woman; to work honestly; to not let go the blood, toil and tears of our freedom fighters in vain; to perform one’s duty in good faith; to ask the state for his rights. It’s been time since we are toying with the theories of democracy in India. A citizen’s duty does not end when he goes out every five years and castes his vote. We have synonymized democracy with elections, but that is not true. An effective and efficient democracy would be when every individual, every individual would contribute in the progress of the nation with an honest intention and not be dependent on the politicians. The common man has to stop blaming the authorities every time. Instead, he must take steps himself to bust the problems he is facing. Do you feel sorry about the condition of women in this society? And so you blame the authorities every time for not being able to protect their dignity? I am sorry but this won’t help anymore. Dial down, pause, think and take steps on your own. Resolve that you would respect and honour every woman who comes your way. Change has to come from within. An individual can change his family and friends, then society and then the nation. Charity begins at home. Initiate the revolution from yourself. Don’t always ask for your rights, perform your duties too. Initiate in a way that you collect everyone’s support and work together to achieve a common goal. Ploughing a lonely furrow won’t help.

We need to develop a generation that is sensitive towards cast equity, freedom, fraternity, and reduce dependence on legal safeguards. Reforms have been initiated. The reforms have been ignited, which are yet to turn into flames in the due course of time. There are very big shoes to fill but fell contented that they have started off well. Stand up. Take actions. Be honest in your ways. Start off; don’t wait for the bolt from the blue. Take responsibilities for the imbroglio around the nation, blame yourself, pressurize yourself and take actions for your nation’s betterment. Self-responsibility is pivotal when dealing with such issues. The country is undergoing through a crucial era and ‘we’ need to change it. We need to get our motherland back to solidarity.
