Dr. Singh, I believe in you!!

Dear Dr. Manmohan Singh,


We believe in you! And your vision of a developed India. This message of mine might take some of your valuable time, but please find time to read it! It is a message from a heart who believes in you and his country.


I say this NOT for my future generations, but the present generation: of family, of friends, and of everyone I see around. NOW is the time for action. NOW is the time for India to ACT like a SUPER POWER.


Why do you want to clean the mess after you make it up? Why can't we opt for more sustainable energy, cleaner fuels, healthier food, and safer world?


Take an action what is right for OUR country, because we believe in you!


I beg you, NOT to take hasty decisions, NOT to agree to limit on our emissions without reason, NOT to compromise on the development of India.


I beg you to simply THINK about what the future holds for the developed India. Is the Developed India going to enjoy its new power by fighting against a then-irreversible climate catastrophe? Are the people of the newly developed India going to enjoy its high standards of living? What will be our problems then? Could the poor afford to live in the cities of India where the temperature touches 50 degrees? Could we have avoided it?


By taking such actions against climate change, I know that our country’s growth is at stake and people may question you.


I want to let you know that YOU are our leader, and you have the responsibility to take us in the RIGHT direction. You must see into the future, and act wisely.


People may question your decision if you stand to fight against climate change, but you have the POWER to make them understand why it is important.


PLEASE! Fear not if they question you now, because you know that if you don’t make the right decision, they will question you in the future and you won’t have an answer!


They know at their hearts that INDIA is NOT about being a super power, nor about tall buildings and big industries. India is about its richness in natural beauty, its diverse culture and climate. India is about the people who wait for the monsoons, not fear them! India is about a country that shows the world the right way!




Sir, you speak of improving the conditions of the poor, eradicating hunger! The decision you take now is crucial for the very same. Remember, you might be threatening the food security, of not just the poor but also others, by simply not willing to fight climate change! The world looks up to us, let us be the right super power.


I beg you, DON’T THINK about who is and should be responsible for this because YOUR people are going to suffer anyways!


I believe Mahatma Gandhi would be very happy by the choices you make today for your people!


I believe in you! And so does an entire nation!


Yours sincerely
Varun Raj
The present generation
India
