Ask not what you can do for your country, just shoot…
I came across this article the other day in the Economic
Times, highlighting concerns over the toll collection systems generally
implemented under BOT models in the transport sector.
Although the article
mainly discusses the larger issue of benefits of these revenue collection
systems, I believe the inexplicable actions of an elected representative should
not go amiss. As I read this, John F. Kennedy’s famous words come to mind” Don’t
ask what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country”, a
stark irony in comparison to the existing sentiment in our dearest nation. At various points we have asked ourselves as
to what exactly is India’s problem? What is this seemingly incurable disease
that threatens almost every project into the abyss of unending chaos? I believe
this general sense of lack of patriotism and national sentiment is part of this
larger issue. In over 60 years of post-colonial
independence and democracy, we have managed to completely forget the fundamental
principles on which our freedom struggles were founded on. In the fourth module, we have predominantly
been looking at a bird’s eye view of project governance and policy issues.
However, I believe the need is for a more bottom up approach, to ensure the
compatibility and implementation capacity of all developmental initiatives,
infrastructural or otherwise.
