Where do we live?

                                       Though men abound, all ready for the war,

                                        No army is where no fit leaders are.

                                                                                                  -Thirukkural

Where do you live? , not a complex question. Is it??. It is quite easy for us to answer this question whenever and wherever raised. Our straightforward answer would be our resident address or just our nation's name, depending upon the place where the query is raised. Is it all?.  It is not. It is crucial to understand that you represent your place in that situation. The person in front of you will not only evaluate you but also the place you are from. What if you are ashamed to disclose the place you belong to?. 

Let us skim through our nation and realize where we belong to.

• We belong to a country that produces educated criminals.
•  We belong to a country with the most number of graduates and the least number of innovators.
• We belong to a country where sexual abuse will affect tourism.
• We belong to a country that produces revenue-generating statues.
• We belong to a country that sells cryogenic storages to build the same.
• We belong to a country where tax is important than lives.
• We belong to a country where a politician becomes the administrator of Lakshwadeep.
• We belong to a country where the corporates have a free hand to maintain sub-standards.  
• We belong to a country where Tamilnadu is not a part of India.
• We belong to a country where we need to pay extra to save the existing fund in the bank.
• We belong to a country where people do not depend on the leader for their livelihood.
• We belong to a country where all the philosophies and ethics stay within the books and never get implemented.
• We belong to a country where money can buy a tender for a non-existing company.
• We belong to a country where manual scavenging still exists.

     Not to forget,

• We are a part of the youngest country in the world.
• We are a part of a nation whose backbone is agriculture.
• We are a part of a nation that requires innovations in the field of sewage treatment and agriculture.
• We are a part of a nation that requires educators, not teachers.
• We are a part of a nation where food is still to be provided for millions.
• We are a part of a nation that needs a better awareness of voting.

Despite being a fast-growing country, what hinders us from becoming a superpower?. It is our refusal to choose the right leader. Lack of intent to contribute to our nation.

As aforementioned in the thirukkural, 

                        

"A poor leader will turn everything into nothing

                                                            A good leader will turn nothing into everything".
