Do we have some duties

We are a nation of 170+ million people. Out of 170+ million 50 percent (still an underestimate figure) are those who cannot eat properly three times a day, 54 percent are so called literacy rate. We are under immense pressure of eliminating terrorism from our country. Smuggling, shirking on the job and corruption are the core issues since independence. Market forces do not work properly because of insufficient implementation of regulation and lack of property rights.
We have same things each year to cry on. For Example bachat bazaars and Ramzan bazaars established by the government to provide relief to the common person have completely failed to provide relief to the masses. What does this mean that under high corrupt society and lack of proper governance we can’t think that intervention of government would be fruitful. What is missing here; Our role as a person in the society. What are we doing in the society. If seller is selling sugar for Rs.55/KG and we know the original rate is Rs. 45/KG then we are not doing our duty if we take sugar for Rs.55/KG and go home and abuse the government. We have certain duties as a nation to restrict that person to sell at a proper price. We need to tell the authorities about that person or at least do the “Chittar Parade” of that person who is doing black marketing.
We generally give an example of developed countries and the people of developed countries. For Example USA but we do not behave like the people of USA. Rather we do behave like them on the streets, while dancing and dressing and listening to English music or trying to speak English language or trying to be cool. But we do not take responsibilities as an individual in USA takes his responsibilities. IF we know our own responsibilities and we do our work properly then we can have a good collective society. But who cares…!
