india independence day picture
15th August arrives yet again and it’s a day we celebrate with gusto shedding all our inhibitions. It was on this day that India broke free from the shackles of British rule and attained complete independence. The uncompromising attitude of our forefathers to British imperialism, bought us our birth right to live free on our land-India. They laid the foundations of our economic development by means of an all-inclusive multi-purpose planning. What have we built upon it but the virtual vine-yard of corruption?
It’s time we accepted our own failings and flaws and not blame it on the Indian Government. We must be aware that we’re equally responsible for the state our country is in before celebrating its independent existence. “Vox Populi Vox Dei”, the voice of people is the voice of god. This was the basic building block that India and its democracy was built upon but can we really say that the elections today are a Plebiscite for measuring popular opinion?
The electorate is teeming with rich individuals who work for their own ulterior motives and flout popular opinion at will. The people are not helping their cause by abstaining from voting and suppressing their views. Freedom of speech and writing seem so hollow that it resonates when touched upon. The rights and duties of citizens should be reciprocal but it is hardly present. Are we truly Independent or just slaves of people we call our own??
The wide disparities in the distribution of wealth, the inequalities in the possession of privileges is what characterizes modern India. The Indian peasant is still illiterate, Superstitious and caste-ridden. He is uneconomical and improvident. What have we done to deserve such a celebration of a pseudo freedom? This Independence day, we should at least make it a point to achieve the secular tag because such a society is well-knit and homogeneous. It is a fact that if we allow a particular community to be under-privileged, we grow unresponsive to their human claims giving fuel to feelings by no means to be encouraged.
For one let us make sure that our education is non-religious and non-sectarian as it was intended to be and let us all make an effort to take the benefits of education to every nook and cranny of India in our small way. This Independence day make an effort, change your wallpapers to reflect your independence day, send Independence day smses for a change and try to truly make a difference. If you are Proud to Be an Indian so make India feel Proud of you too. Let us make our country more than just a flashy brilliance-like a meteor or lightning with no permanent impression. Help India rise and shine and contribute in making the utopian notion of a perfect democracy, a reality!
