An open letter to the Prime Minister
Hon’ble Modiji,
The country is struggling with many grave challenges, and
all true Indians are striving to transform these challenges in to
opportunities. I am trying to understand all aspects of this intricate subject
of modern nation-building. May I attract your attention to seven issues.
Despite all the hardships that the common Indians are facing today, crores of
citizens feel that a genuine crucial action seems to have been initiated.
First – Entrepreneurship and nation-building - After your important announcement of November
8, an honest entrepreneur who could only weep in despair, has started feeling a
sense of relief. He was compelled to
part with his hard, lawfully earned “white” money to gain his lawful rights, by
various government officials who would want payment in black. If one did not
oblige, it was impossible to go even one step forward. This meant months of
further problems. It seems that out of
fear, this menace can be curbed to an extent. Yes, now possibly the number of
job seekers in the government sector is likely to go down because a major
attraction for these jobs seems to be evaporating!
