I woke up early today...date 15 Aug 2012,..today is India's Independence day.... old patriotic songs are floating in the air one by one..probably coming from the barber shop nearby..that barber knows how to spread the feeling...although i have never been to his shop..i have noticed his activities.Those old songs are so attractive that any Indian(Sorry guys...i have to stick on Indian feeling today)will feel like doing something for India..which obviously vanishes when 15Aug is over.I have been listening tho those songs since i woke up...and every song tells brings a patriotic feeling in heart....BUT...ask anyone except a politician from the ruling party...you will get only one feeling..."India is going down". Today Indian economy has become diamond shaped...Rich in the top...middle class in the middle and poor in the bottom.What did we achieve after the British left? Our leaders divided the country first...then they divided the people in terms of official cast system.Then corruption continues in full swing.This is our India now where the person who protests against corruption gets arrested and killer minister roams freely. When Aamir Khan points out the faults in various areas in our system...people tries to find out a way to stop him.
Netajis Azad Hind Fauj fought against British Empire for India...almost all of them were POWs of WW2..did they really needed that fight...but they did that just for their country.Khudiram Bose died for this country at the age of 18...Bhagat Singh at the age of 23..no one remembers their sacrifice and gives them proper respect.All the unknown freedom fighters who died in cellular jail and viper island...they all would have thought.."we might die...but our country will be free"...they were dreaming of a free and awesome India....Did their dream came true? How many Indians paid respect to Captain Lakshmi of Azad Hind Fauj who died just 2 days ago(13 August 2012)...she was a Doc...she had a nice life...why did she fought for freedom..staying in the jungles of North-East..? There are lots Indian freedom fighters who still lives in poverty...some of them are struggling to get their freedom-fighters pension.They probably watch the celebration of independence and think..."did we made a mistake by loving this country? " or "where did our sacrifice go?".
Rich are getting rich...poor are remaining poor....and most of middle class is devastated by the system.No one wants to fight...their own life in more important than the country...and they are right,what did the struggling freedom fighters we see today get for sacrificing their youth for this country?But there are exceptions all around...and they need our support...we are afraid to step forward or we don't care because we have work to do..
British has started an old game to people away from being united...game of division.Our so called leaders are still playing that.And the media who is supposed to help people does yellow press for their own profit...good example is the riots of Assam.Assam never faced any difference between any religion...but media exposed a fight between locals and illegal immigrants as a fight between religions...as a result ,North-Eastern people is being attacked in some other states now.
I think "Indians don't need to fight with other country....because the fight with each other in terms of states,religions,casts and languages.."
After more than 50 years after independence why we are so backward in technology and social management ?Why north-Eastern problems are still being avoided by Indian government?Why we are still using most of the laws from British era with all the loopholes?...Most importantly why we are NOT CORRECTING our mistakes ?...Do we like to get used to everything thrown to us? Some people are making a difference including politicians...these are good people,we need to follow them.I can't go out there and fight alone....we all need to go together.Otherwise after 10 years we stand in a country where we will have nothing to proud of.
Happy Independence Day everyone...
