On the day of Independence, National flag is hoisted and national anthem is sung with pride and honor and sweets distributed among the masses and few patriotic songs are sung with all euphony and speeches are made in all honour of the souls which strived and struggled for the Indian Independence. The same routinue is being followed since 64yrs and would continue in years to come.
I am not being very sarcastic about this as well. With due respect the tradition that is being followed since ages,what irks me the most is that, when we think of the existing scenarios of today, I don’t think Independence has done much to our country. It would have been better if we would be ruled by a super power than being ruled by these selfish idiosyncratic politicians who see only personal gains in whatever they do, rather than working towards the development of the country and making it the best place in all aspects.
Life is different than it was 64 yrs ago. A whole new generation is in picture. New ideas, new inventions, new discoveries..Oops!!Hang on…Are we basically doing it??Say one in 1 lakh would be doing it with great difficulty, with stipulated resources. It was when Britishers ruled India that Postal system and railways was introduced and this is used till now. This can be considered as a boon to Indians as it would have taken ages for Indians to implement the same if it was not introduced then with the political scenarios out there.The best example being the implementation of metro in Bangalore.
Nothing is as definite as it has to be. All the skilled lot population of the country prefer to stay outside India as it provides better platform for their inventions and discoveries as India would not have given them the required encouragement and support. Many Indians have outshined else where. Other places attract skilled Indians at very easily with the dollar rate being more when compared to that of a rupee, with no corruption and Injustice shown and real encouragement shown to people who want to excel in their field of Interest.
Yeah,some people may argue with my thought stating India requires some time to stand up on it’s own, as it has a very big heart of giving shelter to a number of people of numerous caste and creed. As well as people can also tell something about the ancient times as Indian has a history of thousands of years, it’s cultural heritage and what not. Everyone does understand all these and are proud of the same .But then how long is the biggest question. How long can you just accept all these and then wait and wait for the day there would be a progress which has not happened since 64 years.
There were days when downtrodden people were given proper privelages, reservations and rights, but then what’s the status if the same today. They used all those previlages and have progressed in life and have reached greater heights. They are trying to use the same kind of reservation for their younger generations as well which is completely incorrect. Reservations were given to people to come up, and when they have attained the same why should it be used again. This concept is completely out of bounds and logic and when the good people of India try to bring a new rule regarding the same there would be protests form them who are supposed to be right up there and have reached greater heights. They should not forget that once when the downtrodden people needed support, voice was raised and they got it.They should respect it and accept and thank people for the support and now understand the present scenario and gel along with it.
Coming to our so called politicians, they gain power by giving money, staying in power make money and give money when their power is about to be snatched by someone else and this has been going on since 64 yrs.There is something called as TDS(tax deducted at source) and also tax over the commodities we buy.We pay taxes for what ever we do and still it is not being used properly. This is either used by the so called politicians for their personal gains or the higher rank officials. This is how it is today.
Coming to the so called security , guess India is ranked as one of those countries which is not a very secure place to stay. Underworld don’s backed by the most powerful people of the country rule. They don’t mind taking away innocent lives. To support and hide the mistakes of the so called Underworld don’s the government sees to it that if a big mishap happens, they take it very easily and blame the terrorists rather than their own support groups who would have done it. Terriorism is no exception again. These terrorists are so Idiosyncratic fanatical that they don’t realize the value of innocent lives and they take one, when asked why..They tell Jihad and what not..
In such scenarios how would India grow. There is no room left wide open to state that India would be a developed country nor is there any sliver lining that would state that India will be developed one day.
Was watching this movie called “Nayak” ,starring Anil Kapoor in the lead role,who stands against all these corrupt politicians and builds the nation, a dream nation, a nation where everyone craves and loves to live. Why cant we derive good things from that and drive out all the so called “Political forces” that is hindering the nations growth towards development and prosperity. Why cant we have a system of 2 ministers for each portfolio and why cant IAS and IPS officers rule us than the so called uneducated corrupt politicians. By this guess we can avoid all these so called 2G,CWG,Mining scams and drive the nation towards achievements and progress rather than getting the nation’s name as well as progress hindered so that the tax we pay is made used effectively and efficiently.
Hence in conclusion…I would like to give my honest opinion..With all the current state of affairs happening, the nation and the well educated youth need to raise their voice and get into politics and rule the country rather than these inefficient politicians and make use of the Independence that our great freedom fighters gained with lot of struggle and perseverance so that the emerging thought of “The days were better pre-independence can be made untrue” so that right utilization of Independence and Independent India can happen and nation can be called as “Developed” rather than being still “Developing” as it is since 64 years.
