Change...the Inevitability of time..

Darwin has told us many things about the evolution and existence of human beings.Out of which the one has contemporary significance is his necessary condition for the survival of human beings. He said about the survival of the fittest.i.e Only those people can survive who are fit enough to adapt to the environment.

Deliberately taking him out of context,if we take his statement into consideration in this globalised world,some section-unfortunately a good %-may be asking for some amendments in Darwin's statement.

Change is the Inevitability of time and sometimes it wont happen automatically. If we travel down the history of world,we see that there has always been subject for reforms.Renaissance,abolition of unhealthy practices such as sathi,untouchability,Freedom movement in all colonised parts of the world etc.Through that movements Great leaders emerged.

In this cyber world,we have many leaders and not even .2008% of them are capable enough to bring about any reforms. Today the problem that needs the greatest attention is the rich-poor divide.India is achieving 9% growth every year.But a significant % of our people are living under poverty.


Indian Billionaires are holding 22% of India's GDP in 2008 which was only 0.92% in 1996.This clearly depicts that poor are not getting the fruits of development. Concerned Authorities are brushing aside facts and figures saying that "Only the Fittest will survive."

It is this situation that demands for an amendment in Darwin's statement. I think he has told it many many years back and its high time that we should use his statement to derive principles of governance that can help all people get the fruits of development.

"Revival of weakest" should be our principle of governance in this Globalised 21st century.
