Indian Idealism

I have been writing about varied topics but mostly it has been about what I see around town, the weather and the places. But I thought I should also write about what I observe among the people all around me. I have been posting pictures that I clicked myself with all my posts, but I have no picture for this idea as a behaviour can be only observed.
In India, wherever you go, you hear a common voice. Something must be done, this must be done, that must be done. No one ever seems to know what and how to do it. This is why we place great emphasis on our archaic system. The system would take care of fixing things. We fail to realise that the system if the system would have worked then we wouldn't be complaining. The idealism is ingrained in each one of us since childhood. You should learn to 'adjust.' We don't know most of our laws, which are mostly sufficient if implemented properly, and still want to get ahead in the line just by greasing up the system. It is something that I simply fail to understand. People don't want women to go to pubs and drink but want equality for them. Why you may ask; because it is not the ideal thing to do. We shout culture when we find something changing in our lives and yet fail to keep in mind that Khajurao and Kamasutra is as much our legacy as Aryabhatt and Raman. I guess we are all patients of convenient amnesia. We are ready to watch beauty contests and pay for porn, but we would not send our daughter to join a beauty contest; "She needs to learn cooking." I mean come on, wake up and smell the pasta.
We are living in an era where it doesn't matter who you are, you can have what you aspire to be. But no one wants to come into politics and clean it up. It is still hard to make people do things, take responsibility. I remember long ques at polling stations when I would go with my as a kid. Last election I voted there hardly 20 odd people in all the booths at the station. People used to love exercising their franchise of freedom. But today, we have accepted our condition and are happy with the status-quo. I don't understand why and how can people curse the government and our leaders when we allow incompetent people who can't even write their own names to lead us. I am not saying that all our leaders are pathetic, or education is necessary. But I don't believe that an educated man is inconsiderate.
Contrary to this, people in other countries don't adjust. But Idealism I am talking about is much smaller and thus more; the sum of parts makes it larger. We say the right things just because it is the right thing, the I-Deal thing to say. Not because we believe in it, it is what suits us, what allows us to spend our small lives insignificantly. "घर छोटे हैं इसलिए दिल बड़े होने का दावा करते हैं." The line is from a recent movie. Although the storytelling was not up to the mark, but the idea was right. We easily shift sides as per convenience. We may not get ahead but we are jealous of our friends who do. We would not say it, but we are, because it is not the right thing to do। At least our foreign counterparts accept their emotions and express them too. But you shouldn't say things that your friends don't want to hear, it is not right.
I think we need one more reality show to find out who is the most IDEAL person i.e. Indian Ideal! Mind you it might end up looking for the perfect person instead of the Idealism I am talking about here. Mainly because it is not the Ideal thing to do.
