We are celebrating our 61st year of independence, lets take ourselves back to august 15th 1947 and bring us back bit by bit from that instant we started calling ourselves independent.
1950: The constitution framed, metric system introduced, India becomes a republic! And in the meanwhile one person picks up hate from somewhere people are yet from to find where to kill the most influential man in the 20th century…Gandiji!
Lets do a fast forward here, go to 1983,India won its only major piece of silverware..in the meanwhile Nehru dies, India signs two more treaties with Pakistan and even wages a war! In the future a madness called cricket is to rule the entire nation and reduce the so called-national-sport: hockey to nothing, the bad pool of players, bad performances lead to the erasing of hockey from people’s memories
Now to the present, in the 62nd year of independence, we recall our achievements….very few to count Vishwanathan Anand ruling chess, a Sachin tendulkar ruling the world of cricket, Two miss worlds and a miss universe, 3 indians on the Forbes multi-millionaires top 10 and on the flip side India going high on the list of most corrupt countries, Inflation rising to a 12 percent, The politics being very dirty did everything to ensure that this situation was to stay and India started to lose her respect world-wide!
The main reason for all this is just said to be the ignorance of the people …we with all this education, technology, brains, being oblivious to our own downfall? Does that make any sort of sense? Many institutes with world wide reputation, an entrance exam which is claimed to be the toughest of its sort, Only Indians clearing it, supposedly very brilliant people oblivious to all this?
If Gandiji were to live today what would be his reaction ? did he liberate us just to go from bad to worse? Isn’t it up to us to think of some other thing, unite and come up with something better and get us outta this mess? Lets not hesitate from this date onwards, to unite and lets bring our hands together to form what would be a much better India to live in
If we were to look into our neighbour we would just see unity, co-operation, discipline ,just marvelous is the way China is conducting the Olympics…lets just take the cue be better for once !
P.S: Due to various reasons for which I’m sorry,this post got delayed by a few hours :)
