Is anyone listening?

A wonderful article !

Poignant points and an awesome style of writing.

If only we could have an answer. Perhaps by declaring another yojana in the name of (pick your choice) : Rajiv Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru?

As an aside, it baffles me and to some point irritates too at the logic behind naming of schemes.

A simple google search tells me that over 450 government schemes and institutions (central and state) active today have been named after the three dignitaries mentioned above. Why it is being done is obvious. But why can this not be stopped is intriguingly frustrating. And if we were to wonder how many schemes are named after Mahatma Gandhi (not that you have to, but just as a benchmark of respecting our so-called-leaders). The answer is none. Only last month after being questioned in the parliament, did the Government decide to prefix the above mentioned name to National Rural Employement Guarantee Act.

Why can’t National Solar Mission be just called that and not Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission? When will this supposedly covert but flagrantly stupid political-propaganda stop? And if they choose not to stop by themselves, when and if at all, will they be stopped by law?

I am curious. And waiting. And am sure, so are many…
