"Mani Ratnam's Yuva turned real, with five IITians deciding to join mainstream politics", reported TOI.
The party - Paritrana - was launched in Jodhpur in the year 2006. Paritrana means 'complete relief from various causes of distress and that is what we want to do for our people'.
Brave. Foolish. Idealistic. All of that - and more.
Tanmay Rajpurohit, who's done his MTech from Georgia Tech after a BTech (Aerospace) from IIT B is the party President. Other office bearers include Ajit Shukla, Smit Bisen, Chandrashekhar and Bharat Sundaram - all IIT B and IIT K graduates.
Says Shukla, "My inner voice told me I should invest in my efforts in country instead of making my pocket heavier... People think we are crazy so much so that our families have also failed to understand our motto, but we won't give up."
Deadly thing, this inner voice. That's why most folks pretend they can't hear it. Or choose to drown it out. Because listening to it may mean acting in ways which are strange and unacceptable in society.
Of course the families of these young men would be upset. IIT kya is liye bheja tha? But as Mahatma Gandhi once said: "There are moments in your life when you must act, even though you cannot carry your best friends with you. The 'still small voice' within you must always be the final arbiter when there is a conflict of duty".
Which, ultimately, is what these young men did.
Let's not make too much expectations.....
Let's not be too sceptic either.........
Their effort needs encouragement and support..........
Let's not burden them with more n more expectations.....
It's great effort for great cause......
There must be nothing to regret,no matter what are the results...
Not all the start up succeed in change we wish.....
and more importantly there would be no change if we just wish....
In the end.....Efforts matter as much than the end....b'coz there is no guaranteed ways to success.
I really appreciate the initiative taken by these guys and I m sure many youngsters want to do something good for our country and everybody knows that the main problem lies in this Political system. If we can't take such initiative, at least we should give them the support in achieving their goal.
The fact that they have taken a bold step to give up lucrative careers gives a hint of commitment, passion and objective in them. They are young and may not have everything that's required to run a successful political party. We should help them in anyway possible to help achieve the objective in the best interests of country. With the support of young, educated and passionate people, this party can only get stronger to compete with existing political parties and bring about a considerable change in a positive way. Good politics and governance can make India a superpower. We are not loosing anything by giving these guys a chance to make a difference.
I hope Paritrana will be the answer to India's Future. Lets first stop analzying on whether they would be successful or not.
Deep inside the heart every true Indian wants to do something for India. So lets see how we can help them rather ridicule or doubt them. I can understand where they are coming from. If they are able to give up their career and do something for India, dont you think its our responsibility to see how we can help them and help our country. I can assure there are 1000's of people like me who are sandwiched between the right decision I truly believe that young peopel like them can and will turn the path of India.
Kindly stay away from religion when it comes to politics. I really salute these guys for having so much of guts and passion to follow their dreams. So use our network to make them more powerful. Let's use our students network to gather men and power for the party and see how we can contribute to the country.
I apologize openly to anyone if I had stepped on your toes , so plz dont come back with a rational logic to defend ur negative statement towards the party. I never said you are wrong , I just request everyone to see things with a positive way. I know everyone is true from their perspective. All I am requesting is to help them and not to be a faultfinder.
When will we learn to think positive? Our minds have become so much used to doubting only the positive things. You doubt a person's honesty and you require proofs to believe in his honesty, but believe in his dishonesty almost comes immediately without any proofs. Have you realized this? Greatest of the distances can sometimes be covered by taking smallest of the steps in the right direction. I guess Paritrana is a right step, though small, in the right direction. Kudos to them!! They are at least planning to make a difference in the current scenario of our polluted politics. There are different categories of people:
1.People who accept the things as they are.
2. People who take responsibility to change things and do something good.
3.People who join and follow the second category of people to support them.
4. People who keep passing negative comments about all the other categories of people.
I would definitely not like to be in the last category, rather would like to be in the third category when it comes to Paritrana. Once again, congrats to the founders of Paritrana!!
Segmund Freud had once said that intution should be used to choose major decisions. It is said that "Great decisions are made through the heart, not the head". Even industrialists use more of gut-feel than analysis to arrive at the final decision on whether to go in or not for mega projects.
Good governance cannot come about without competence. There are too many incompetent Indian politicians and that is why we have a bad governance.
Because staying motivated and free of self doubt is always a challenge. One that I am sure both Sidin and the 5 young men at Paritrana will meet head on.
Have you tuned in to your inner voice lately? If you have everything and still feel empty inside, it might be time to slow down. Stop. And listen.
