Common man!!!

Common man, I always keep thinking what a common man can do in today's world in the sense upto what changes can he bring about. Today I happened to read an article written by friend about a political party formed by the IIT'ans whose objective is to clean the political system of our country. An IIT'an is indeed a common man and he is trying to achieve something. Can he achieve what he dreams of in a country like India where it is well known that to rise in life everybody does committ some sort of illegal thing. Is it possible for this party to be clean and achieve what they dream of? Today in India people like Chandra Babu Naidu are well left though they even know of his properties in Hongkong, it is said that he owns a helipad on a star hotel over there. How about the most recent thing Volkswagen scam, though most of the leaders may be clean but it is enough for blackspot in a beauty to make it worthless. Such questions keep arising when I think about a common man's eligibility. I had a belief that may be the technology revolution would help in creating an euqality sense in terms of awareness but I think it is infact creating more gap between people in terms of knowledge. People are narrowing themselves to their own field of interest and are neglecting the other fields and the IT revolution has just made people lose interest in our political system with widespread criticism going on in the media about our leaders. Consider the case of Mr. Ambani, though he was a common man but for him to achieve such a success he had to take the help of anitsocial elements to suppress his competitors. I personally believe that no common man can single handedly create a revolution all by himself without foraying into illegal things. If the above political party can bring about that change then I would salute them wholeheartedly.

dude being a very well educated Indian youth, this has been an xtremely pesimistic and discouraging(for those who r keen to take our country to higher echelons)....it is youth that too educated which has to do something...and even if u r not actively supporting them atleast dont try to belittle their coz...if possible try to support their activities...
Just cogitate!!!

Dude, I just wrote what I feel about the system and how difficult it is for a common man to bring about changes. I did not try to criticise them, I wonder how you had though that I was trying to belittle them. I wrote about the same feelings those people might have felt when creating that party. Anyhow I cannot even support them because I'm not sure whether they are to going to be successfull legitimately. I just would like to be a silent observer.
