Are we really independent ????? What with the corrupt politicians ruling
the roost...........at best we can say that
we are independent albeit only from the Britishers ......
We still hv a long way to go.....before we can party and celebrate our independence....so really nothing great
worth celebrating and shouting from the roof tops.....
rather around 70 years wasted........by these dhoti clad rogues.........otherwise we would hv been second to none
by now......Rather we should lower our heads in
shame that we are living in the so called "World's largest democracy".....
where the level of corruption is the highest....the divide inflicted by the politicians has been
much greater than that of Britishers with much
wider ramifications....today our country is divided along physical borders
of states, religion,caste,sub caste,economic status and blah blah.......Nobody is safe ,lest of all women......
there is widespread economic disparity....little to speak
about on public health and welfare programs ....Why and what are we trying to celebrate.......Billions of dollars stashed
away in Swiss banks by the politicians.....the golden hand shake between
politicians and the big corporate's who are
out there to milk the public dry.......Just putting the national flag as our fb and what's app profile pics or getting together
in our societies, clubs and welfare associations to
celebrate independence day is just a ritual.....Does it serve any purpose?????
The real heroes who sacrificed their lives have nvr got their place in the golden annals of our history which has been hogged by just a few people who were not really responsible for the Britishers retreat (I don't want to
take any names here....all are aware)....Even the children of this
country are not safe...with heinous crimes such as
rapes of girls as young as a a couple of years or even less happening every other day......The law is only for the poor, the rich and influential know their way out.......the poor and the middle income group is struggling to make the two ends meet what with hefty inflation to combat........Our country is a wreck......and we are celebrating Independence day
with so much frenzy without pondering "WHY"........does it really
call for a celebration.... .Unless each and every citizen of this country
awakens to his duties.....and comes together to raise their voice and
force these Neta's to put the house in order, we are a nation of sleeping people.......God Bless us.....and awaken us from this slumber.Sukhvinder Singh Kohli ( Vinny Kohli )
