If Japan can, why India can’t?
In 1945, two atom bombs were dropped in Japan and were devastated. All the large cities, the industries and the transportation networks were severely damaged. A severe shortage of food continued for several years.Cities and factories were heaps of rubble, twisted metal and burnt wood; the economy was almost totally paralyzed from wartime destruction, rampant black marketing and runaway inflation; people drew water from communal faucets and used holes instead of toilets. Few Japanese had any money but there was hardly anything to buy.
One can say, after World War II, Japan actually started from scrap. The Japanese pulled themselves up by their bootstraps after World War II and transformed their nation into a strong democracy and an economic dynamo. Moreover, Japan also suffer most of the volcanic eruption, earthquakes and as well as tsunamis.
In 1947, Japan adopted revised constitution which is quite rigid. In spite of various difficulties and various problems, people of Japan faced its challenges, stood united and worked hard for prosperity. Japanese accomplished things no one thought was possible, giving the Japanese a collective sense of achievement and great hopes for the future. Today whole universe knows where does Japan stands – One of the most developed and powerful country.
If Japan can bring a change, why can’t we? Even we can bring changes in our country. We can be one of the developed countries where everyone can prosper. The only thing what we need is unity amongst us, and a strong constituency without any loop hole. Moreover, if we can get Independence from British who were ruling for more than 200 years, we will get independence from the corruption also, which is only ruling for 60 years.
Today, I think, "Why our parents didn’t take firm steps against corruption?" If they had taken firm steps against this monster, we would have been in a better place where every person would have enjoyed the basic needs and would have better opportunities for growth. Anyway, time which has gone is not going to come back, it’s never late, we need to raise our voice against the corruption or else prepare for answering the same question “Why our parents didn’t take firm steps against corruption?”
