Last week i was in office, thinking about my weekend. I was planning to go to hometown on long weekend and have fun. While i was taking printout of my ticket from printer, i realized Monday is holiday since it is INDEPENDENCE DAY ..(15th August)
I got many sms, greetings on fb by my friends and relatives on 15th august. But some corner of my mind stopped me from wishing them the same. Which made me to think upon what is this day mean to every Indian? not mere than a holiday. (It also applies to me). First thing it came to my mind about the recent developments happening in our country, the fasts by ANNA HAZARE and protests. (Initially i thought these protests wont go for many days and will be cut down at some point. But i was wrong.) So on 65th year of INDEPENDENCE, i switched on the TV and started watching DD1 (doordarshan). Where our great PM was giving speech. Then i switched couple of channels and just happened to me i put on TV9 news. There was also same program , but one dialogue was repeatedly shown. There was a speech by our bangalore Mayor.( I forgot her name). Anyways, in her speech she was speaking about INDEPENDENCE day. But she forgot about how many years have been passed after independence. She said "I am happy that 46th INDEPENDENCE day is being celebrated". God damn !!!!! Being a mayor she does not even know.,,
Later i had a thought, why to blame her. She is like a pawn in the game of CHESS. Which does not even know what it is going to be!! ( either it dies, or cancels or become some other thing after reaching 8th house).
Some of these kind of things made me to think what and where is my county heading. Already its completed more than half century, still has loads of problems, which are more older than a decade to overcome. Every one knows there is lot of corruption in india, which is leading to all other problems. But where it is coming from. Why people are becoming corrupt ?? ..
For example : If we want to have a passport police verification, we go to police station for that. There they will check all our details and tell, "sir this will take another week of time, still it need to be checked out". If we ask what else they want to check, they wont tell anything and engage themselves to some other things. Then you feel lets see what they going to do in a week and start moving out. A constable , who will smile at you and start conversation. He will tell to give some 100-200 rupees and passport will be verified in two days. Gosh!!!!! And people will do that ( I myself did it) . Its not like anyone bothers about hardly 100 rupee note, they are helpless. If they want to complain, whom they will. Is it a poor constable only corrupt, No this tree grows in a REVERSE order. The most corrupt people will be in top. If you want to survive at lower level, you need to listen to people at top and do whatever they do.
Even the movies are showing clearly about the wrong things happening around us. But the movies which shows truth about anything , will either wont pass censor certificate or they will be banner in certain areas. WHY?? , Normal people are not the ones who are banning these kind of movies,but they are made to ban. The tree of CORRUPTION has grown so large but its very week. Even a single root (grown at top) is broke,whole tree will fell down. Today consider every high level person, minister , ias officer whoever said to be serving our country , i am sad to say that most of them are branches of this tree.
WHY , our youth are more interested in joining IT field rather than going to government sectors. WHY there is reservations for only certain kind of people given on the bases of their origin, not on the bases of how much wealth they have??. WHY there are still beggars seen on the road?? .. WHY Indian government offices are still full of dust, compared to government officers house??
There are lot of questions in mind. Some of them i had got by my own experience. Considering me, most of the youth wants to be in IT field. Even though it does not give a job guarantee, but some kind of happiness. You have money, you will be sitting in nice posh offices, nice car etc etc. But in government !!!! things go differently. First of all you have to give toughest exams, !!!!! some good point . Then after that, you have to come for interviews, there you have to be either you should be a recommendation from a High officer, or a relative of some politician, or atlast you have very good amount of wealth. For example, in civil service exams for state, its been known to everyone, if a person wants to have to get into good city or nearer to his home town, he has to pay minimum of 20 lacks. !!
This is just a part of huge tree i came to known about. There are still many parts which we come across in different modes of our life. Well till now everyone was thinking what can we do, after all we are just people. But now we have got a strong lead to make this happen. Including children, youth, men/women everyone is coming out of their homes and saying their opinion about most corrupt governments of the world..!! YES i am not hesitating to say this.
As everyone knows PM and on top of him is PRESIDENT of our country. These two people can make laws and have lot of power to make any change. But in our case, they both are just PUPPETS. They have no vision rather than enjoying sitting in chair and listening to party members. It feels shame to see when whole nation is protesting for 3-4 days, still the government has not opened mouth about it.Rather it is giving permissions to have 15 days protest!!!!!!what the hell, who are they to give permission, ARE WE LIVING IN A COMMUNIST COUNTRY TO ASK RIGHT TO PROTEST?? ., We are democrats, we have each and every fundamental right to protest against bad things.
After all these thoughts flew in my mind, i finally decided to not to wish anyone "happy independence day" . There is a HOPE , which every Indian has,, One day will come and India will become independent of all these things. That day i will proudly say " MY COUNTRY HAS GOT INDEPENDENCE "
