In general, the minds of people working in IT industry are very wavering or volatile. In the morning, most IT people start their day by logging onto Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn. Their opinion changes depending on the trending posts and tweets. In the morning, they support something else and in the evening, the support shifts to an opposite perspective.
Foreign companies, for the sake of
their own benefit, nailed in the minds of the IT people that politics is a
nasty game. The CEOs have always evoked the flame of ‘fear’ burning inside the
workers that politics will hamper you as well as us, and so involving in it
might take your business or job away. Mostly the investors think that if they
are investing 20% on the employees, the ROI from the latter part should be
200%. Thus, employees are expected to think and work only for the job and the
world outside it is totally ignored by them. As a result, these kinds of people
at the end of the day, get frustrated, stressed, angered, from
‘job-dissatisfaction’, which get reflected first on the family members and
eventually on political leaders, government, and the overall nation.
Mostly these people, from the
beginning, focus on their career-graph, family security, job security and
yearly savings. Politics for them seem to be field for hypocrites, frauds,
cheats and opportunists. They never bother about nationalism, except
criticizing the love and feelings of the nation, through some ‘intellectual’
posts or tweets. Their patriotic feelings get destroyed in the beginning due to
career responsibility and due to the overall fear scenario in the IT industry
of getting ‘pink slips’.
If this issue can be taken care of,
our nation’s 90% problem can be solved. So, to initiate the feelings of
nationalism inside these categories, we need to work differently.
Convincing IT people is a big factor. But, educating them is a bigger task, which lies specially through imparting information on our nation’s correct history and refining their childhood history studies. Then only they can be true nationalists. Then only they can differentiate between politics and corruption, between nationalists and anti-nationalists and between communal and secular.
Recently, our honourable Prime
Minister, Shri Narendra Modiji has done the appropriate job of drawing the
attention of IT people. ‘Digital India’ has seen millions of people, a majority
percentage belonging to the IT industry, changing their profile picture and
supporting the nation’s mission of Digital India, following Mark Zuckerberg.
In order to get support of the IT
people, the government needs to be IT-oriented. Through social media and social
networking platforms, the various government agendas and upcoming missions can
be spread, which generally remain hidden to these people. As they depend on IT
methods and technologies only, their supports have to be drawn through IT only.
A majority percentage of young people
today, are entering into the IT industry, as the job is quite lucrative. Their
mindset needs to be changed to impart nationalist views. This is already in
vogue by the Muslim fundamentalist organizations like ISIS. They are picking up
the cream, young IT professionals and making them work in a hi-tech style to
accomplish their mission. These people belong to a smarter planet, and from
development to hacking, they are acquainted with the entire technology. Hence,
if nationalist mindset is imparted into these minds, it would be beneficial for
the entire nation.
