What a great change

There is a story which is taught at intermediate classes in U.P. India. The prose book of English has a lesson named "A Girl With a Basket" written by Mr. William C. Douglas. In this writer has described that he on the journey by train from Delhi to Bareilly. This train is train that stops at every station. Writer comes down on the platforms and talks to people to feel the pulse of nation.
At one station some refugee children gathered around him who were selling baskets and fans. Writer bought some baskets and fans he had no space and to buy more of those. That girl was pleading to him to buy a basket in such a manner that he gave her 15 cents (near 0.75 Rs.) as charity. This was big amount at that time. But writer felt guilty when she refused to take money with all her pride and graciousness. Though that girl was poor and illiterate but taught a lesson of self-respect to him.
I am very excited at reading this story but I am very much disappointed when I compare that  girl with today's Indians. Now a days people are lazy and corrupt. They want more and more money without caring by which means it comes or by which way it comes. By begging, stealing, robbing, taking bribe or any other fowl way they are ready to sell their soul. If you are a gentleman far from dishonesty and deceiving others you can be supposed fool.
All parties of trying to make people depend upon charity and subsidies. In the greed of votes parties declare more and more bribes for people to take their votes. Saries, mobiles, laptops, subsidies for pilgrimage, unemployment allowance, food, scholarship and fee reimbursement
are many schemes which are making men lazy and dishonest. Although many of these schemes are necessary for uplifting the people's living standard but due to want of a good machinery they are harmful for the future of Indian society.
