The growing emptiness within current generation.. heart breaking scenario..

Scam! Scam! Scam!
Every ‘Good Morning’ is welcomed with a spanking new scam. Every evening, we shiver to switch on the news channel on T.V. in fear of yet new scam..
The scam word rules the nation..
In recent times, the frequency seems to have multi folded.
And,
There is a competition prevailing among the current Govt. to win the race.
We the people, of this nation, who have obtained independence, from the foreign rule, not so long ago, have become thick skinned and less and less sensitive to the corrupt surrounding around. We, as the citizens of this nation, feel helpless sometimes with the fraudulent scenario, existing all around..
But,
Moreover, we have become hopeless and spineless, to resist any scams..
Glancing deeper into our own soul, I located an emotion of ‘Who cares?’ in my conscious..
Who cares about the neighborhood?
Who cares about the township?
Who cares about the city and state, or our native place?
Who cares about the nation?
These are the broad-spectrum outlook, the contemporary generation seems to be cajoiling with.
And,
In no uncertain way, they are no less talented lot..
In fact, with technology modernization shooting up to its soaring heights, the latest techno-savvy India, has scuttled and scampered in a massive swiftness to attain the label of hip and happening..
But,
In this rat-race, they have seemed to forgo their glorious past...
The History that is a saga of sacrifices and struggle..a tale narrating victory and achievements..the narrative of awe-inspiring patriotism..
That our forefathers lived and died for..

The story of India’s freedom struggle or the pious saints who walked over the Indian sub-continent and worked ceaselessly for the welfare of down troddens. The legends about the great philosophers and rulers, who sow the seeds of jingoism, in the hearts of plenty, who lived then..
We, the Indians are one of the most fortunate species to be born on this earth, who have been blessed with magnificent precedents .
And,
The History is the string that connects the present with the gone by era.
But,
Our present generation, finds the historical aspect to be cumbersome and useless!!! They prefer adopting philosophy that is borrowed from the West and as a result, reach a stage, where anything that is Indian or connected to our nation’s past becomes lackluster for them.
These youth is so engrossed in making more and more money [of course, no issues about being successful, but leading a wholesome existence is as or more important] that they have dropped the significance of their comfortable independent lives, that is a gift to them, by their forefathers, who fought vehemently to accomplish the grandeur of India of today.
Today’s lot finds it tedious and uninteresting to know anything that ignites their soul...
Be it reading or entertainment, they have begun opting for non -sensical comedies, that is ticklish and nothing that is thought provoking or something to take home about..I personally, have nothing against laugh riots but ignoring our splendid past , that would light patriotic susceptibility among us, would lead to a better future.
Recently, while watching two stage performances, in Gujarati, the stage-goers response was very painful. One about the terrorist activity, prevailing in our surroundings and the other about great historical prodigy.
But,
Sadly the crowd longed for smsish jokes and asinine entertainment, where they do not need to sharpen their brain-cells!!!
And,
As a result, we are presented with leaders, who engage themselves in scam after another, as we have somewhere lost the capacity to accept and enjoy that would demand us to sense the plight faced by our fellow-men..
Thus, we somewhere comprehend their pilfering..
Sad.. Is it not?
