The Satayam's episode has once again brought into focus our National
Weakness-"exploitation". Perhaps greed has overtaken human fairness .
Perhaps one mistake led to another. Ultimately inevitable has
happened.The disaster struck the Satyam family and did put the nation
to shame world over.
Let us analyze why the chairman of Satyam along with his team created
such a great Mess. The event has brought down the image of not only the
businessmen of the country but also brought down the reputation of
Indians as a great achievers.Why Satyam's team performed such a heinous
act? Were they under any compulsion? Perhaps they were compelled to
reveal the truth at last. But why did they act in such a shameless
manner at the first instance? Perhaps greed, hobnobbing with political
corruption and the inborn trait of the exploitation of Indians have
overtaken the polished wisdom and the path of fair play for which the
country was known.
The Exploitation is the National hobby of
Indians from time immemorial.From the days of Purus, Chandragupta
Maurya to present day businessmen and
industrialists,politician,landlords even village heads exploited common
people. Unless this trait of exploitation is removed from the psyche of
Indian people the country will keep on facing innumerable instances of
miseries again and again.
What is the remedy? perhaps spread of
the education of mass could be the answer! The development of
understanding amongst people and fostering of trust within the society
would also be necessary . It is true that all the people of the country
were not crooks.There are good people in the society. Yet most people
in our country survive on exploitation, mistrust and jealousy. Only for
these reasons, though our country may be able to accumulate and grow
very high wealth, India could never become a great country at any time.
The
appointment of Three Directors of impeccable integrity is commendable
action taken by Government.There are four important tasks in front of
the board that should be taken up in right earnestness.
1.It is
imperative to allow the organization to function normally by utilizing
huge intellectual capacity of employees who are dedicated to work. The
company might have faltered due to greed of promoters but it become a
great contributor of the wealth of Nation mostly for the capabilities
of the intelligent and dedicated employees.
2. It is most
imperative now to bring in financial arrangements for sustained
developments by roping in financial needs of the company as most money
shown in the balance sheet are non existence now.The Government of
India may be required to grant
a fresh line of credit to run the organization.
3The
task before the new board would be to find out the loopholes of the
system by which the books of the organization were cooked by former
directors, auditors and some trusted employees and independent
directors.
4.The board must inspire and need to continue serious
efforts to keep the moral of employees higher. The board may be
required to provide assurance to customers not only for completion of
the pending work diligently but also to bring in new business to keep
the organization going.
The newly constituted board seemed
excellent. There are exceptional financial person, well known software
guy and reputed security analyst. Perhaps the board should have also a
Human Relations expert to keep employees motivated and to weed out
henchmen of sacked board from reporting matters of importance to
outside interested quarters.It is necessary to prove to the world that
even a doomed company could be survived when there is a will to
perform. It would be necessary to prove it is not the industrialist but
employees could turn around a company when leaders are straight forward
and inspiring. The professionalism should be the watch words.
It is true that our country was a wealthy nation even 2000 years ago.
But lost all the wealth due to exploitation, greed and jealousy trait
of the citizens. The successive attacks by Turks, Hun,Afghan, Mogul(
only who loved and settled in the country) and British looted the
country and made the nation poor mainly due to the weakness of fellow
Indians. India is emerging again as a wealth creator. My forecast is
after another three decades India would emerge as the one of the two
richest countries of the world along with China. But it would never be
a great country despite our strong faith on spiritualism(not religion),
because most Indians (not all Indians) likes to exploit their own
countrymen and compatriots.
I only wish a strong social leader
emerge like Vivekananda, Mahatma Gandhi, and Maulana Azad and try to
bring amity amongst country men and try to preach that exploitation is
the evilest of all traits Indians have acquired over the years. That
needs to be changed.
