India - a land of great think tanks

Recently, i have come across many igniting articles/Blogs on topics comdemning attack on media,questioning Indian citizens about who would be Indian Obama and so on.......
While these blogs are eye-openers and thought provoking, huge number of comments supporting those articles are equally thought provoking. But unfortunate no body talks about what is to be changed and what role the author wants to play during that change. Person who is addicted to web opens his eye after watching so many blogs. this guy opens blogs/discussion boards and post his views. back to normal life. Another set of people, who are not addicted to web opens their eye after watching TV programs like 30 minutes. With in these 30 minutes, media elaborates on a topic and cover every part of that event (they will obviously put a question mark on future and ask us to wait and see rather than suggesting an approach to face the issue). watch the TV, discuss with your neighbour and go to work next day.
Unfortunately, all these think tanks are turning their thoughts into dreams. Our politicians generated apathy towards politics. our politics is full of dynasty rule and cult leaders. Definitely, It is not an easy road to drive on. But there are few things, every body can do. Like software engineers, who spend most of their time infront of web can spend their week ends creating awareness on government policies and one's rights to un educated people and people living below poverity line. NRI's keep funding organizations which are doing good...so on...Politics is not a unique way to serve others and blaming politicians is not the only thing you can do...
