DUTY AND RIGHT
After independence, and more so in last two decades, we have developed the bad habit of easy money making. On the whole, our mean and low attitude of getting more while giving less has entered our day-to-day life and has 16 taken a firm grip on all of us. For this reason, it is not an overstatement to say that in almost all areas, the situation has become like an emergency and the country has fallen flat in dark and despair.
Let us self-examine by some examples :
(1) How much are we prepared to serve and take care of our parents who gave us birth, growth, education , religion and culture ?
(2) How many daily hours of daily duty do we perform in banks, Life Insurance Corporation (LIC), Post Office or Police Department ? Going on frequent strikes and by falling prey to the abuses of unionism, we demand more pay and less work !
