~~THE 60th INDEPENDENCE DAY~~

India is celebrating the 60 years of independence. We are assured and secured that for past 60 years we are having a colorful and a glorious celebrations. But what really was the scene 60 yrs ago??August 15, 1947 the 1st Independence Day. Great joy and celebration was seen all across the country. New Delhi in particular was the hub of nationalistic fever… hub for nationalism with the gathering of crowds in public places…people from all walks of life gathering and celebrating the free festive of independence…men, boys, gals, ladies all oozing with glory of freedom …glory of independence…glory to see India free. Spirit and enthusiasm was noteworthy. The tricolor hosted and what the world witnessed was only cheerful faces…broad smiles and watered eyes.Really the spirit was noteworthy. We have been hearing and listening to the stories and reading bout Indian independence fight right from the time we have been understand or the time we can read. But all this is past and of course we are proud of it. But are we really doing anything to sustain the precious gift we got after a 150 yrs of hard struggle? After 1000s of precious life scarifies? Do u think India is really independent after all this??Jawaharlal Nehru, India's first prime minister gave a speech to the Constituent Assembly at midnight on August 14, 1947. "At the dawn of history India started on her unending quest. She has never lost sight of that quest or forgotten the ideals, which gave her strength. We end today, a period of ill fortune and India discovers herself again." His speech inspired us with ideals about a new beginning for India.Has India lived up to these ideals? Although the British no longer occupy India, is she really independent of their influence? While they were in India, we began to follow their traditions, their philosophies, and their lifestyle. We silently allowed them desecrate our heritage, culture and religion. Yet now, it is we, the Indians that continue to honor those who tried to destroy our culture.
Perhaps the biggest tragedy has been in the area of religion. Yes I am taking bout the recent CASTE RESERVATION SYSTEM! If we are going for reservations on communal and caste bases, we swamp the bright and talented people and remain second rated or even third rated. I want my country to be first class country. This reservation is nothing but a big blot on Indian system. SO discrimination should be stoppedThe other biggest issue is poverty…unless people are provided with the basic amenities we can expect them having a discreet and proper approach toward life. Unless poverty is been minimized in fact abolished we can’t think of prosperous growth in the sector of technology and industries. Leave bout the growth in those departments but the basic necessities of knowledge and education cannot be provided unless poverty is abolished. Bold plans should be aimed so that rich, youth could help to the cause. So the elementary but massive problem is POVERTY.When we stop discriminating between our self and help eradicate poverty issue then only we can be armed with technology, industrialism and the most important power of education and knowledge. Plans like EACH ONE TEACH ONE should be empowered in every literate civilian. Thus slowly we can achieve great heights and fight boldly against the challenges like terrorism, poverty and population and power!Though India is facing so many problems but we have always seem the growth graph of India rising day by day. We have archived great success in the field of nuclear power, IT, green revolution, milk revolution, in infrastructure and communication. The country pre independent was know as exotic land associated with snake charmers and fakirs lying in beds of nail now is know as a land of immense wisdom and intelligence which have produced many pioneers.
Thought their dedication and hard work and optimism these achievers fueled India’s growth but also gave it international recognition. If CV Raman and Mother Teresa got us noble prize then Satyajit Ray got the 1st Oscar. If Sachin Tendulkar and PT Usha show amazing performance in there game then Birla, Tata, Narayan Muthy and Ambanis in industries and private sector. Together they are the father and mother of newly born nation. Not only these people were successful in there respective fields they were visionary who dare to thing …dare to dream beyond the present and create a beautiful future not just for the children...the youth...but also for the country and all of us.Every nation relies on youth for the development and progress. So been the generation Z and the responsible citizen of India lets come together and help to prosper India and make India truly independent.I would like to end my words with few words said by our X- president APJ ABDUL KALAM in his book IGNITED MINDS~Song of youthME and my Nation- IndiaAs a young citizen of India,Armed with technology, knowledge and love for my nation,I realize that small aim is crime.I will work and sweat for great vision,The vision to transforming India into a developed nationPowered by economic strength with value system.I am one of the citizens of a billion,Only will the vision ignite the billion souls.It has entered into me,The ignited soul compared to any resource,Is the most powerful resource,On the earth, above the earth and under the earth.I will keep the lamp of knowledge burningTo achieve the vision- Developed India.JAI Hind.
