Hello readers
Hope you had a great week ,and did not get stuck in traffic jams.
Today we would like to write about general civic sense in India. As it is the most discussed and argued topic, and the topic which is raising concerns all over India and also the world.
At first, what civic sense is all about?
It is nothing but social ethics. It includes how one keeps the roads, behaviour with the fellow individual, abiding laws of the land, maintaining public decorum.

As Indians what we lack is the basic civic sense. That's why we are not able to function as smoothly as some of the foreign countries.
When you walk on the roads of India, you see a lot of spit marks, urine, etc., people grumble about all these as not maintained properly. But who dirtied it in the first place. The people are the soul responsible for there actions.
India is considered as one of the diverse country in the world. We must learn how to mix with people across various cultures.
So where is glitch? The problem lies in the root. To shape up a near perfect individual one has to be taught about it in the schools. A child in the school at first should be taught about the very basics such as, how to behave with others, not spit on the roads etc., Only preaching would not suffice. Where it counts is how it's been applied.
Also in schools there is strong need to understand the basic use of a automobile is no to loiter around the road for fun and it is for transportation,and conveyance, we know that the the generations which have after the 90's and after the millennium Are way smarter than us the point ,is this smartness is being used in the wrong direction.We would have heard about this phrase saying that don't become hero in the wrong way,actually that is what is happening.
The factor called "Parents"
This is one of the most important factor when it comes to civic manners,road sense and public behaviour,because the simple reason reason ,if we just take this one point ,say how many kids are there on the road who driving,in the age where are learning fractions in school,to be frank this is not an exaggeration ,but a experience we are seeing kids in Bengaluru, where kids as Young as 11 years are driving,high powered,mopeds,and bikes,this very unfortunate and stop.
Though Parents are literates,and take up the difficult task of making their kids,responsible citizens,they are falling prey to the pestering of their wards ,and give them ,vehicles in some case ,the parents voluntarily give vehicles like the famous economic term which holds good in this instance which is called as the "Bandwagon goods"which says people buy thing for prestige and showbiz kind of a thing.So the we can say that even though they are literates they are not educated and do not know the future repercussions on the society.
we are not targeting any parent for that matter,but we find they are also one of the factor for these issues.
Issues about cleanliness discussed above should come from within an individual ,like the patriots who fought for the independence of the nation ,ad only if there is that factor called belongingness ,that I am a proud Indian and I want to keep my country clean .We hope we start thinking about this.
Well the wave should start ,before its not too late.
All these issues may sound small but has a greater and deeper impact in long run.
Many of think as to why it is so important. It is indeed very important because it gives the basic definition of what we are.
This very basic root cause problem should be repaired at the root itself.
Living with hope

Cleanlinesss is godliness.
ReplyDeleteSwach Bharath. Sundar Bharath. Good article. Hats off to you. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteneeds a bit of tuning. revise and send it on. the contnt is good. parents are not factors, they are wholesome. what you are hinting at is double standard. yes, it is evident in ou private and public life. what we expect the other person to do, we rarely do. as for laws, they are meant to be broken. where stand we!
ReplyDeleteNice article.. But at first place.. We people who got enough education need to teach others abt the side effects of those things.. We can make difference.. And we will...
