Gandhi Nagar Capital
“Gandhinagar Capital” is what written on the railway station. A small and quiet station crowded not by people but by trees at one side of station. The main gate side has few beautiful railway quarters embedded in the dense forest. Yellow buildings among green trees looks like jewel in the crown. No city in Asia can match the greenery of Gandhinagar. Yes, you are thinking right that G’nagar is greenest in Asia. I really want to appreciate this fact that Gandhinagar is one place where you can get really fresh air. You will get more than ten trees per person in Gandhinagar.My health has been improved in last few months just due to calm and less polluted environment. I am spiritually more developed here because of the people and environment which has a divine impact.
The whole world is feared of the impact of green house gases and degenerating and deterring condition of environment around us. Everybody hear and see the news of destruction by several cyclones, acid rains and flood. The whole world is suffering from the tremendous change through which the earth is going. The cyclones, flood, acid rains and drought are occurring very frequently and mankind and creatures of the earth are suffering the most. Are we really going into civilization? Civilization doesn’t mean destroying the nature. Are those big factories and chimneys symbol of civilization? Is this destruction a real development? The rivers that have given birth to human civilization are dying. People sitting in Kanpur, Delhi or Mumbai never bother about the river which is lifeline. They bother about their packaged drinking water but, they are really not concerned from where they come from? Everybody see rivers dying and nature is spoiling, but nobody is coming for rescue. Aam Indian is busy in roji-roti and ignorance about these rivers. They like to comment sometime, but they don’t know what to do?
What about Indian youth power who is well educated? They are busy most of the time in their quest of opposite sex friends and feel proud doing that because their American counterpart achieves these things. They start it early these days as American achieve early.Ok, lets focus again. Overall youth is trying to relish whatever underachievement their previous generation have through whatever means. I must say our previous generations were struggling to get their act together. The migration happened from a society which got independence to a society, which got some development with a confused meaning of the independence. The power was conceived as tool to rule the people, not to serve them and uplift the nation. The British rule was not over. We were confused system and the initially Congress governments were just an extension of British rule. Everything was just an extension of what happened in British rule. We were not evolving as a system of our own. That is why people, who were having power, misused it. Now again when they feel system is not in place they started copying Americans. Why we only copy other? Why we look for an American, Chinese and Japanese model of working. Though we tend to copy west more as we are English speaking people. Why cannot we have a Indian Model of working which is efficient? If we don’t copy west we can come up with our priorities for the problems and can get solutions of our problems as we think not as others think. We have copied literally everything from west, be it sports, constitution, governance, industrial development, allopath, education system, English and many more. Still we are confused people.
Why don’t we hear our heart? Why do we tend to think like the people in west? We are living in entirely different weather conditions, our environment is different. We can’t be like western people. We foolish people still blindly follow west. I tell you an example. The climate of India in different. It is hot but Lawyers still wear the clothes which were suggested by British. Is it justified? There are several other examples.
When I entered in Gandhinagar, it was altogether a different feeling. If you see and live in Gandhinagar, you will feel that heart is heard here. Everything is very close to nature and our own likings .The good things have been taken from west but the entire system is very much ours.
Gandhinagar is a well planned city and planned according to need of the people here. Every sector you live will give you a feeling of community. There are lots of trees and a temple in every sector. Few shops at a place for basic daily need goods. For shopping one can go to few sectors which have big markets. For vegetables there are organized selling centers. Gandhinagar is divided into 30 sections. Each section is 1 X 1 KM wide and long. .Gandhinagar is rectangular in shape. It is better planned than Chandigardh as it has got more roads and trees. The roads are wider and there are specific forest zones.The fuels for public vehicle used here is CNG which is less polluted. The impact of living in such a peaceful and organized place is very much visible on the people here. People here are honest, religious, calm and hard working and they are firm believer of their culture and roots. Now because of the nature and thinking of the people here they have got city like G’nagar. G’nagar and around has some of the best institutions India have. The institutions like Petroleum University, IIT, DAIICT, Plasma Research center have increased G’nagar intellectual capita.Living here is so easy and peaceful that I want to leave in this place forever. If you live in G’nagar you really don’t bother about few problems which every Indian is facing like Reservations on Caste basis, Transportation, sub standard drinking water, bad power situation, corruption, intense political battles, Gundagiri and many more. Gandhi is not a statue here. Gandhi is a philosophy here. You can sense it even in small child. I want to send alert to all people of cities who live in polluted and corrupt environment ,learn form G’nagar otherwise you all bound to fall.
