AN OPEN LETTER AND APPEAL TO PRESIDENT ROTARY INTERNATIONAL, LIONS INTERNATIONAL AND OTHER SIMILAR ORGANISATIONS WITH GLOBAL PRESENCE;
DEAR PRESIDENT, ROTARY INTERNATIONAL,
Greetings to you and your Ann from Rtn.PP. CSP Rao and Ann PP. Saroja. I am a member of ROTARY BANGALORE BANASHANKARI, R.I.DIST 3190. I joined Rotary in the year 1976 and am a staunch votary of Rotary. Rotary has helped me mould my thinking and life. I have served in all capacities at the Club level. I was elcted Presidnt Madhugiri Club and I am a Past Presdent of Banashankari Club. I had also opportunity to serve certain District Committees also. Since I was in a transferable Job I had occasion to become member in more than 7 Clubs. I iniitited a new Club also when I was posted to Nagamangala, (Then dist. 3180 and now Dist. 3190) where when I was posted there was no club.The Club is doing very well also.
2. Now in addition to other activities, I have become a Votary for " WORLD GOVERNMENT" a new Idea which is slowly gaining momentum. I am sharing my energy and time in this direction. This letter to you is in that connection to seek your .
Co-operation and Participation also since Rotary has a global perspective and International peace and Co-operation is one of its main Objectives which is akin to the Objectives of a World Government.
3. Twentieth Century has seen a lot of Scientific progress, Several far reaching inventions like, Radio, T.V. Loco-motives, Aeroplane, Computers, Internet, Mobile, have shrunk the wold to such an extent that world has become global Village and the stage is set for becoming 'VASUDAIVA KUTUMBAKAM', meaning; 'WHOLE EARTH ONE FAMILY'
4. In addition to many inventions which have changed the face of the world for better, a few inventions like, Atom Bomb, poisonous chemical gases, highly destructive arsenal, are driving the globe towards anhilation and total destruction if some serious steps are not taken. Efforts to solve problems, stop Wars,Conflicts, Terrorism are not yielding the desired results. Organisations like League of Nations, United Nations Organisation, have not been able to totally stop wars though they might have helped to some extent to ease tension. The need for each Country to spend more and more on the so Called Defense, and creation of more and more powerful weapons and increasing the defense personnel are still bogging the world and heavy amounts are going as a waste for such things in my Opinion. Is there no solutions for all these Problems. Are there problems in this world which a civilised society cannot solve, with so many wise and right thinking people all over? I quote Alexis Carl, " Man has learnt to swim like fish in the Water fly like Birds in the Air, but has not learnt to live like man Upon the Earth". It holds good even to this day.
4. THE ONE AND ONLY ANSWER TO THESE QUESTIONS,PROBLEMS that may occur to any sane thinking person,is formation of a "WORLD GOVERNMENT." Many a great men have thought about it in the Past and now also many a men and Organisations are working day and night for it. But the results leave much to be desired. People still feeL, a thought like that is still EUTOPIAN, UNWORKABLE, IMPOSSIBLE OF ACHIEVEMENT, AND EVEN IF ACHIEVED NOT SUSTAINABLE" In the whole world history, is there a single instance where people have accepted Welcomed, New Ideas or things, whole heartedly? I feel sorry. World must continuously strive for raising the intellectual leave and thinking level of People. Our Educationists should ponder over this.
5. Now coming to Brass Talks, Rotary has an International Wing, International Presence, It has in the past assisted during formation of UNO and assisted solving many international Problems and its opinion carries some weight and can impact the world. The need of the hour is to educate people, create Awareness, about pros and Cons, the great benefits a WG can bestow on humanity. I feel Rotary can play a vital Role in this direction. Unfortunately this matter cannot climb up from grass route level and so people at the helm of affairs have to initiate action and take steps to proliferate this idea down steps. If Rotary can play a role here it will be doing doing an immensely stupendous all time great Job for which the future generations to come will ever remember and admire ROTARY. Some one has to initiate and take leadership and Let Rotary do it.
6. As a first step, I SUGGEST Rotary TO initiate debates at School level, College level and other forums, though its Clubs which have presence throughout the World. Next step would be Call for world wide discussion and invite World leaders, Opinion Makers, Involve, Governments of the World by inviting them to participate in the discussion, to erase the feeling that the idea is Eutopian. Only RI President with the Co-operation his Team, can do it. So I appeal to you take the first step in this direction and take Rotary to wuhthering heights.
7. 'God give us the serenity to Accept things we cannot change, the Courage to change the things we CAN, and the WISDOM to know the difference' 'Let us Pray for not Tasks equal to our Powers, but for Powers equal to our Tasks'
8. A line reply towards how the President feels and what best he can do will be of immense satisfaction. With fond hopes.
Yours in Rotary,
Rtn. PP. PUTTURAO C.S.
