Free India: Dream and Reality

Free India: Dream and Reality


1947, India got her name, her Independence from a power that ruled the world, that influenced the entire human civilization and under whom several countries were mere servants.

India too had to toil for 250 years under the British thumb rule, countless people lost their lives, lost their identities and a new concept was born from this fire of anguish and sacrifice, and that was India, a dream concept with a dream constitution, incorporating the best of the best rules of the world's best countries.

2013, we are habitual citizens of India, a free country, free from rules, free from ethics, free from courtesy and free from dreams and motivation. Today we are free to break the laws, free to encourage corruption, free to commit heinous crime and free to put down our own country in the eyes of the international citizens.

That is not the end, we gave freedom to our neighbouring country to infringe our borders, whenever they want, we gave them freedom to kill our countrymen whenever they "feel like", we have given them freedom to snatch away our freedom to live free from fear, to visit places that belongs to our own country boundaries and freedom to pursue our own philosophy.

Yes, India is free today, indeed. But those who brought it, had a different view of freedom, and the reality of India is having a different concept of freedom at present..

What the Freedom fighters must have dreamt of can still be achieved, still be fulfilled and not yet has become a bygone.
We can raise up, we can rise up, wake up and stir up with a little bit more vigour, energy, effort and willpower.
Real Freedom could be achieved, if all of us start thinking out of the box, change the stereotype pattern and cycles that we have fallen into. We can change, modify and upgrade our constitution, which has kept all the options open for corruption, delaying, defying law itself and give undue power to those who do not deserve. We can change the entire political scenario, the administrative policies and social genre.
We can start stopping people around us from committing mistakes and crime, indulge in corruption, and while checking and criticizing others, can stop for a while in front off the mirror, to check ourselves for the same things.
Instead of celebrating the Independence Day, with the same age old processions, songs, movies and lectures, we can celebrate it with a new jerk of thought, that Democracy doesn't mean only voting for the already elected wrong people, but erecting a new concept, where there can be all facilities without inflicting pain on others. A Free India can breathe freely, only when it is free from old thoughts and replaced by new ones, because Freedom doesn't occur in dates, it occurs in minds and thoughts. A Freedom of India has to be sought in her Freedom of Thought.
