Daily civilians and police clash in the streets of Srinagar. Naxalites are becoming more and more deadly. The home minister of a rich state is in prison, facing the charges of extortion and killing his own aid in extortion and murders and the danger of arrest is looming large on the chief minister of the state, who is seen as the avtar of Hindu ideology and future prime minister. A tribal chief minister of another state has amassed property of more than 500 crores. Rampant corruption in govt offices, where even the peon has stopped recognising the100 Rs note and not willing to hold less than 500. Common Soldiers’ are supplied with rotten food and the top brass is found involved in the scam. A world level sports meet is being conducted in the country and before the show we Indians show the colours of greed and corruption! And mehangaayi dayan khaaye jaat hai!
“Happy Independence Day” In morning someone wished me, I smiled and greeted back, but what independence, I thought, situation everywhere is grim. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is optimist about everything. I consider myself a very positive person, then why I am not hopeful, I thought. I thought about the bridges, rail network and buildings constructed by British, They are still intact but what our people make! What we did with the freedom! Are we really free! Were not those white oppressors were better than these black ones. What is the difference! Those took our resources to Britain and these take our money to the banks in Switzerland. What happened to our freedom! This was the thing our freedom fighters fought for! Who is responsible for all wrong which went? We all! As we bribe to get our work done. We don’t cast our votes instead we caste it, religion it or region it. We don’t participate in elections as candidate. We don’t resist when hooligans make mockery of democracy by blocking roads and burning public property.
Oh things are endless..... So I say on this republic day is not happy independence day.... but SAVE INDEPENDENCE .
JAI HIND
true, though we are independent, we have not yet got independence from our evil thoughts. While bribing or cheating or hiding money from tax department we hardly think. We don't see that we are not doing well being of our self by our act. We blame government for dirty roads but have you seen any one realizing pressure on his door or on his house's wall. Instead you will find lots of realizing pressure on the walls of public buildings. Rules are there but how many of us follow. When Gov. makes compulsory, then we start telling that they don't have any work and putting unnecessary pressure on us and much more.
ReplyDeleteGovernment is from us, by us and for us. It is we who have to bring reform in ourselves rest all will change. You cant change others you have to change yourself first.
