Democracy is a government meant for the people, as it is by the people, and of the people. The news that us currently making rounds in the country is mostly about corruption, black money, Swiss bank accounts and what not. In this era, everyone wants to earn money without hard work.
The politicians of this country crave for money today. All they do in their long tenures is hog money illegally. Today many of these politicians are preying on the nation itself, which is very disgusting and immensely horrible to describe. We even talk a lot about unification or unity in diversity. Where did this unity disappear during the “Godhra incident”? India did lack the day so called brotherly feeling during the 92-93 Mumbai blasts as well as the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks. When the media thinks of setting down and decides to focus on some other interesting topics, we say everything is fine, but what about the lives lost, the wives widowed and children orphaned?
The politicians even try to divide people on the basis of religion. Just take the example of Ram Mandir v/s Babri Masjid issue. These politicians present themselves in frontnif people for votes at the time of elections, saying that they will promise to build a respective religious place of worship. They just bribe the people for votes. After they win the elections, they simply abscond. They loot the money of the people and fool them. In this way, they try to segregate the people and create communal violence across the country, thereby breaking the unity and integrity of the nation.
I don’t think there is any state in India which can claim to have stable government. We at times forget that the land of the country’s territory belongs to the nation first and then to the states. We have even heard of tonnes if food grains rotting. Each grain is a token of happiness and satisfaction to the hungry stomachs of the poor, yet the Government has the audacity to let it rot without distributing the food grains amongst the needy.
I feel, currently in India only rich become richer and the poor beg for a living, and hence we love in an era of ignorance. We see the temples plundered, mosques demolished and the churches ransacked. So where is the so called brotherly love here!?
Japan got it’s freedom in 1945. It came out superbly from the shock of atomic attacks. India got freedom two years later still it is no match to the Japanese technology and competence. Instead, we rely on them for the construction of railways and roadways.
In India there have been some changes and development in the past few years, but they are not considerable in number. There are many changes and developments yet to to be done. We can see a lot of evil, dirty practices and policies going on in India that are huge in number even after Independence.
But do we do anything to stop all these? We think that someone, somewhere will take the initiative in order to control the situation to buy we don’t actually figure the fact that in one way or the other everyone thinks the same. Everyone has the same mentality. They think that why should I care about all these things when there are many others to think about it.
But we are wrong. If everyone thinks like this, do you think India can call itself a developed nation or a super power within 20-30 years? Do you think India will achieve this rank? Our country needs us, and by doing something for the country we can make a big difference. We say that India is a country of the youth, but what is the use finally the youths of this country sit quitely and watch all these atrocities and injustice? So, it is up to us, how seriously we take these issues and however solve them. Being the future citizens of India, it is our duty to lead our country to a better future.
On 15th August, evey year we celebrate Independence Day, but I feel, sadly, India is not truly free even after getting it’s independence.
