Lage Raho.......
Lage Raho.......
I recently watched Lage Raho Munnabhai which has been an instant hit all over India with every section of ppl liking it and d accolades coming not only frm India but also abroad. The fact that many institutions and individuals have adopted the Gandhian strategy speaks volumes of the impact the film has made all over India.
But,In my opinion, it was an above average film but purely fiction.
The plight of an old man removing all his clothes to pay d babu so tht he starts his pension as depicted in d film led one to think that wht an effective non-violent way to bring d errand babu to task..
But, in reality does that really happen. The hype that media has created over gandhigiri that it is an effective way to have ur task done is I think preposterous. U can't change the system. It has been crippled by the politicians and the "powers to be" who wud never allow honesty to prevail. The system is so much dependent on bribe and other illegal means that evn if a person wants to support truth, his survival becomes a problem.Take for eg any honest cop, he wud be presurrized by his eniors to adopt to unfair practices, and if he relents he wud b transferred.
U go to any office, the role of middlemen wud always b there. (The recent eg being the Barak Deal in which apart frm the politicians, the navy chief received kickbacks to the tune of crores.) If u bypass it, then d long bureaucratic hurdle of going from table to table to get ur work done.
The bottomline is if u try to change the system, the system changes u.
