Is India a free country?

Freedom a word synonymous to Independence Day, yes we got freedom from British rule on 15th August 1947, however real question is are we free?

I have not seen pre independence era but I wonder was it worse than what we have today? I still need freedom from

Corruption

Politicians

Terrorism

Un education

Poverty

Hunger

Breaking News and many more important issues

We talk of making India a superpower but just make few people rich are we becoming a super power. Whole country is burning, but will be super power. No one is safe but we will be super power J

People:  I can’t see respect for each other within same cast, language, region, state or religion then why I hope to see respect of for each individual irrespective of his/her religion, caste, language, state, health, color. There is utter disrespect for law and with our politicians leading with example.

Leadership: Why can’t I see any leader why I can only see politicians and that too majority of them blatantly corrupt. I don’t see any one taking stand for right thing. Even our saint prime minister is not a leader, he is also a politician. Being leader doesn’t mean not taking bribe, it also mean not letting it happen. Doing what is best for the society, having a long term perspective and by bringing people together. Policies are made to please big industrial houses and they return the favor by pouring in crores and crores during a political crisis or elections. Our politicians have mastered the art of “Divide and Rule”.

Media: why our powerful media is biased, why they don’t report facts instead of sensations, why do they make every news a breaking news..why salman khan’s dream is a national news…we have so many important issues to handle but why don’t they cover it.  Our news channel shows comedy series as if they are not bothered to invest in real issues. Everything needs to be sensationalize and making sure that they make a judgment.  These news channels are also leading a sms scam for everything they ask you to do sms and they get their commission. Where is the true spirit of journalism?

Sports: We are happy with 1 or 2 medal every Olympics, our national game is in pathetic condition but do we care.

There is hell lot of issues which need to be addressed but those who are given the responsibility are busier in securing seats, money and their future.

But I am still hopeful, one day India and Indians will change

I am hopeful that we will have more leaders than politicians

I am hopeful that we will participate in all events of Olympics

I am hopeful that we will more than 90% educated people

I am hopeful that we will respect each other

I am hopeful that we will be Indians first and then Marathi, Tamil, Punjabi, Hindu, Muslim ……

I am hopeful that one day we will trust our police and social system

I am hopeful that…………. List is endless

But I am sure that it’s time for Youngistan to bring and lead a change.

Jai Hind 

India in the hands of the future
