CLEANLINESS AWARENESS

 

CLEANLINESS BEGINS WITH THE SENSE OF BELONGING…

‘People will only clean and maintain cleanliness when they have a feeling of Belongingness for the place.’ It is human nature. When we have this “my” feeling for anything our attitude towards it changes completely. According to me we do not need any “cleanliness drive” to clean our country, If you don’t agree with me, think about this do we need a cleanliness drive to clean our house? No. It is our routine. It is part of us. We do not throw wrappers all over in our homes, we involuntarily throw it in dustbins. We don’t need posters to tell us that “ throw garbage in dustbins.” “It is natural!” we would say. We are also more sensitive to dirt in our stay place than we are in public places. Due to this “my” feeling we are intolerant towards anything shabby and out of place at our homes. But littered roads and public places are tolerable. In fact it is the subject to blame the government. But we need to understand government is “by the people.“ It is WE who make this government. We our indirectly blaming ourselves!

We humans are more or less emotional about “our” stuff. We share an emotional connect with them. As we care for our family for our people we care about our place our stuff due to this “sense of belonging.”

What we all need is this “my” feeling to be imbibed in correct way. The “my” feeling for our society, for public places, for our city and ultimately for our nation. It is the need of hour that we work on this “my” feeling. The world is facing the covid pandemic. The whole world stopped working for some days but many countries went back to normal quite quickly while our country is still on hold. Still schools and colleges and theatres are closed and public gatherings are banned. Why? Because our nation lacks discipline. People WILL DO whatever they our prohibited to do. Why? They lack ultimately this “my” feeling.

 People of our country should stop being ignorant about anything not directly related to them. Not only cleanliness but many problems faced by our country as in corruption, pollution, illegal on goings, etc. These are not the things that are to be ignored. We need to understand that if every citizen of our country is vigilant and stops being mum about these activities in our country will rise like a phoenix. It is we who make the country. And We are self-sufficient . Our country needs no saviour our country needs US.

We need this realisation that we don’t need an Independence day or republic day to celebrate our nationalistic feelings. The “my” feeling fashionably called nationalism must be a natural feeling and needs to imbibed as a value by each and every parent in their children.  Then this love would be pure. Then things will go on smoothly. The our nation would be solely “by” the people, “for” the people and “of” the people.

India will be democratic in true sense. Gandhiji fought for us and gave us an independent India. Now its our time to repay him with swatch and “atmanirbhar” bharat.
