Hey everyone! Koi hain? :)

Yup yup!! Me here!!

Hey Amna!

No, you don't sound like a freak, today is 15th August so we are supposed to think about these things.

I agree with many of the things you said, but somehow I feel that you are looking at only one side of the coin. All right, the commonwealth games are pretty much in a khichidi. but instead of shrugging and throwing the blame left right and centre, we need to zip our mouths and work hard. After the Games are done with, the papers will undoubtedly raise the questions once more.
As far as colonisation is concerned, I partly agree with you on that point. Being divided in small princely states did not help, nor did the constant fear of each other. Independence day, in my opinion gave us trust and the will to trust each other. We are a sovereign state today, thanks to the independence and constitution.
There is no country that does not have corruption, crime. Add to that a cultural diversity, so that every step one takes can offend someone or the other. It's a wonder we have stayed together as the largest democracy. Consider the sheer amount of people living on the same land, with large religious and cultural diversity, factor in the depleted resources due to hundred years of colonisation and we get the 'Independent India 1947'. At the risk of sounding very cliche, I say, the only thing we had is 'hope' and 'determination'.
Independence day is not only about singing 'Ae mere watan ke logon' or watching the Independence day parade on Doordarshan. It's about the things that define us. If we don't like the way a particular agency(public) is functioning, we have the right to say so. We have the right to information, to move around, to practice any religion.
The best feeling I get is when I read the preamble to the constitution (read it in Hindi for the full effect):
ENACT AND GIVE TO OURSELVES THIS CONSTITUTION.

When I used to open my political science textbook, I used to read the preamble (in hindi). Somehow used to make the study more meaningful. :)

Why do we crib about the state of our politics or administration? Unless we do not enter politics or administration, we have no right to complain, do we? Do we go to every election, vote every time, and if we feel that no candidate is suitable, do we submit a form saying that? Most people prop up their feet in front of the television and use the paid leave 'appropriately'.

We should enter the administration if we want to complain. Join NGOs, something, anything!


Sorry for that essay. Couldn't resist😃 So how did everyone spend their day?

Hello everybody...

I agree with you Di. Corruption is, unfortunately like a black infestation gnawing away inside our government and other firms. We, the people need to take a stand and prevent people related to us to stop doing this. And slowly, but surely, it will stop. I am hopeful :)
