Serving Persians, Mohammadians, Britishers for many centuries, India had became a land of slavery, dust and penury. When at last after great struggle and sacrifice we got our freedom then we consider ourselves independent and started celebrating 15 August as our Independence day. But due to 200 years of slavery and desertness, we forgot the meaning of independence. We consider independence as that of land, rights and monopoly of government. But we were unable to include expressions of individuals in the term independence.
We got our independence from British rule after servitude, sacrifice and so many things but after independence we forget that we have to take maintenance of it too.
We were developed with wrong criterion that India has unlimited amount of resources. But, in practical, this is not so. India has been looted since ancient times till now but the difference is that earlier Persians, Mongols, Britishers were hollowing India and now we Indians are doing the same thing.
In fact, Britishers were not the cowards. They were loyal to their work. They came here with the motive of syphoning India and they succeded in doing so. But, today we Indians show that we are well wishers of India and are hollowing Indian resources for our self interest. We our cowards. Our country has survived and is surviving due to 10-20% people who have those ethics, moral values which an Indian deserves, those values which were there in Shaheed Sardar Bhagat singh ji, those values which were there in Mahatma Gandhi ji. They were the real martyers along with those who sacrificed their lives for the sake of the nation.
Patriotism does not mean visiting the borders and getting photographed with soldiers as usually done by our leaders, it means how loyal you are to your motherland. Do you consider your motherland as your own mother?. We can see that in our own country India about 2/3rd people are corrupt. People wish to get government jobs not to serve our motherland but for their self interest. From bottom to top, most of the officials are corrupt. Whether peon is there or a bureaucrat holding a paramount position, most of them are corrupt, unloyal to their work, selfish to India. If government officials and in general any person wants to do good deeds they are stopped and ruthless measures are taken against them by some ministers who are also corrupt. If someone talks about development then communal riots takes place and the major cause behind this is corrupted ministers. I.A.S. officers are suspended if they took harsh steps against illegal elements. Administration has become the mockery in the eyes of mob.
People elect those ministers who are either uneducated or if educated are criminals. People elect them due to their terror and due to communal feelings. Higher positions are given in those hands who are not having intelligence to take right decisions.
We all know that India is suffering with a great problem of population explosion still government is not taking serious steps to control it.
Our youth constitute an immense reserviour of strength which can be a great source of power to the nation if channelized in the right direction. India has already taken a step forward in this technological era. We have to perform our responsibility in order to compete with the World economies. It is our great privilege that our prime minister is a great economist and is one of the great scholars of the world. I’m pretty much sure that if we all start putting our best efforts for our country then our India will be the super power of the world.
India has been suffering from the serious problem of terrorism. We have to take harsh steps against terrorism and friendly relations with our neighbour then only we can have Kashmir a terrorist proof land. Our national capital has been attacked many times, our I.T. city Bangalore too have suffered from terrorist attack and our commercial city Mumbai is one of the favourite destination to be attacked by terrorists from time to time. We need our prime ministers like Mrs. Indira Gandhi who was good with the good people and bad with the bad one’s. Killing the terrorism is not the duty of military or police but also of citizens like we are.
Thus, in the end I want to say that celebrate this Independence day by taking a vow to perform your duty with sincerity and do not corrupt yourself because corruption ultimately kills the corrupted personalities. Therefore, do good deeds for your motherland and proud to be an Indian. JAI HIND, JAI BHARAT.
