Silver Lining

During the independence struggle we saw the Dream of Independent and prosperous India. But did we really achieve that when we see ourselves after 65 years of Independence we find we are standing no where. That is the problem we haven’t achieved what we have dreamt of.

In 1947 our population was 300 millions now we are 1.21 billions and counting; where we are heading towards? Do we really have the target for prosperous India? If we say we do have then are we actually following that path and have a deadline set for that goal? People here often say’s that system is corrupt nothing will go right in this country without bribing the authority or politicians. Everyone is fed up with the present situation but still no body is raising voice against it, and best part is everyone is waiting for other to do that for him/her and those who are raising the concern either are government funded/planted organization or individual or others who are genuine have no support of the normal people because nobody bothers to support them and if they have a little support then they are crushed by the authority on the orders of the democratically elected government. Who do such heinous act in the name of peace to be maintained by the nation?

The definition of democracy in our constitution is “for the people and by the people”. And the worst part is that we never ever implemented this prologue since we got our independence and constitution.

Why we have not implemented what we have thought for Independent India. We see people living on the streets and doing pity things to earn their livelihood, which could have avoided if we have planned things right from the beginning. But neither the government thought and nor they bothered to give a real development to the country.

Especially when we say Serving India is serving millions who have no access to the proper meal daily, no education and no equality in opportunity to live comfortably.  And our Father of the Nation wished “to wipe tears from every eyes of the citizen of this country.” that should be remembered.

Government has to understand the concern of the commoners. And it will come only if we work towards the betterment of it. We have to understand the simple logic that the river also flows from mountains towards the plains and further falls into the sea. System has to be cleaned from top authority then only it will go to the lower level. May be it looks difficult right now but one has to start from somewhere so why not from this moment.

Almost everyday newspapers are covered with Government’s corruption, failures or not doing the things in a proper manner through which a citizen could get a benefit but still nothing has been done from the government side to rectify the situation instead things are becoming worse day by day. It will erupt one day and then the time will already be slipped from our hand and we’ll remain as mere spectators.

Guru Dutt’s Film Pyaasa song “Jinhay Naaz hai Hind pe wo Kahan hai” is very apt at this juncture. Hope we’ll see some changes in Politicians and Commoners who have proud to being an Indian
