Nepotism, cronyism and favouritism are the main causes of depression among youth nowadays. How can we say we are progressive if we don’t give opportunities to our youth to prove its worth? Partiality in different fields like government jobs, private sector, schools, colleges, politics, film industry and sports is suppressing the talent of the young generation who lose confidence and enthusiasm and gradually become the victim of depression. It is like a slow poison which kills a person day by day and they can’t help themselves and sometimes problems become so severe that they even commit suicide.
If anybody asks me what I hate most, my answer will be nepotism in different fields of life. Even many people who are against these three viruses of nepotism, cronyism and favouritism won’t lose a chance when they get the opportunity to misuse any of the above. Being selfish and money-minded, such people cash in the favourable circumstances for their advantage.
Sycophancy in different fields and even in politics is shameful and regressive. How can we fulfil our dreams of a shining India if we don’t give a chance to our shining youths who are the pillar of economic growth? I have seen many talented doctors, engineers and professors migrating to other countries for not getting a proper break in India according to their qualifications. They use their knowledge and education for the benefit of other countries and we Indians lose our precious and valuable gems.
We have no right to blame these young talented youth who get suffocated in the dirty atmosphere of sycophancy due to these three viruses and they don’t have any option left other than leaving their native land. Governments will not take any major action against such politics of favouritism as it is involved in it deeply. How can we say India is free from the British rule if we are adopting the same rules and regulations of treating someone as an inferior and the other as privileged and superior?
What was the use of fighting for independence, if we can’t raise our voice against such unacceptable conditions that attack the concept of a level playing field and propagates inequality, and don’t want any change in our system? In fact, who is ruling the country is not important but how they rule the country is more important.
The dream of a free India with ample opportunities for everyone can be fulfilled only when we are aware of our rights and raise a voice against injustice. How can we say we are proud of our country where the talented youth is depressed and frustrated because of the humiliation they have to face when they are rejected due to these three viruses?
After completing studies, many highly qualified students often have to struggle a lot to achieve their goals in comparison to those who are not skilled, who get the job on behalf of political affiliation or ideological inclination they adhere to and which suits their interviewer. It is a sad truth that even caste-based discrimination still plays a major role in giving jobs, including in educational institutions.
What will the future of India be if our teachers are not competent enough? How can they fulfil the expectations or solve the curiosity of students if they don’t have proper knowledge of their subject? Job appointments based on favouritism in colleges and universities is extraordinarily harmful and affects the performance of students in different fields due to lack of knowledge.
Who is at fault here? Our system is responsible for all this incapability of students who are forcefully taught by the incompetent teachers selected based on cronyism. One of the major problems this causes is the absenteeism of teachers, especially in government schools.
Giving jobs and other advantages only to your kith and kin, especially in politics and media is spreading like a pandemic disease which will be irreversible if not treated soon enough. Appointing “lackeys” to positions of authority regardless of their capability is destroying the dream of a progressive and shining India.
