Who wants to be a Politician

We all are very familiar with the question What do you want to become ? as most of us have been asked the same questions. All of us had our own answers which were basically driven by the heroes in our life. For instance I remember wanting to become Akshay Kumar after watching Mohra and Sachin Tendulkar so many times. The general answers were Doctor, Engineer etc etc. Have you ever heard any child saying that he/she wants to become a politician. I bet I have never heard.

I was pretty surprised that we do not think about politics as a career. It is nothing to do with the pros and cons of it, it is much to do with the thought process of the society. We want to become what we look up to and what we believe is a career of dignity. Politics sadly does not fall under this group and is hence ignored. The manipulations and tricks that we associate with politics these days does not even leave it as a option for the upcoming generations. If you think otherwise try communicating to your parents that you want to join politics and their reaction will confirm.

I guess this is enough to say that the Political circle in our country is not up to the mark or even that it is so bad that no body wants to get into it. But then I want to question if there is no inflow of fresh talent in political arena how do we expect things to improve. For long now the politics is inherited rather than anything else. There is no change happening as the same families continue to work and they do in almost the same way. It is high time that we rise to the occasion and put our hands up and start contributing for the betterment of the society.

I guess we need to have a clear political system devoid of corrupt politicians and majorly no involvement of criminals. This can only be achieved by a collective effort and not by individual heroics of one special man. Let us join hands today and pledge to save our society and country from the evil hands and make our country a better place to live in. Though I know it is easier said than done.
