A country of reign that was once worshipped and envied by many is now a minority and a poor developing nation. A nation that always seeks peace and never went on a war is now a dirty land with thick people. A country which once sold piles of diamonds in the streets is now drowning in poverty. A country which contributed a great deal of knowledge in the evolution of the world is now has nothing left to write its pride.
Today I stand as a common Indian in front of a hoisted flag among the people who are singing the national anthem with their lips but not heartily. This day is a remembrance of those people who hoped for a free India, who shed every drop of their blood for it. How many of us really think that we are paying tribute to them? For many today is just a holiday to hoist a flag, share some sweets and to say “oh yeah! It’s our Independence day”.
The celebration of real Independence is when we feel the minimum responsibility for our country. We might have 65 years of Independence now, but we aren’t the same anymore. We lost the glory that we used to have.
“65” years and we are still a developing nation. Even after 65 years from now, will still be a developing nation. We all know what’s happening in our country, yet we still don’t care. It’s time to give a ray of hope that our poor country needs. That’s the least we can do to our motherland.
All we have to do is to stop being a shame to our country.
It might be odd to stand alone and rise among the shameful society, but trust me my friend you are not alone. You just have to put your step forward and the rest pours in.
If it’s not you, who else?
I hope one day we will celebrate the real Independence Day.
