60 years of Indian independence...
At this point i don't need to give gyaan about the freedom struggle and the midnight hour story...Am in no mood to write telling the readers how great India is and blah blah..
What is important for a nation or for any human being for that matter is not to look back and cry about the past...Rather it makes sense to think and act about the present and look forward for a better future, for a new hope...
I often listen to people (esp in USA) complaining about India...India is like this..India is like that..Political system is corrupt...Defense is so weak...Roads are pretty bad and there is lot of pollution and etc etc...
Why don't we ever talk about the culture of India..Why don't we talk about the education system in India..
(All the people who have occupied high positions in USA have done their schooling and college in India)
Why don't we tell the world how tolerant we are...
Why don't we tell the world the number system has been brought to the world by Indians..
Why are we afraid to tell the world India is the land where most of the Gods' walked...
Why don't we talk about the spirit with which we all live together inspite of having various cultures and languages...(except for few freaks)
Why don't we tell the world we are just like any other.....?????
I can go on and on...
Also, why is that we only talk..
If we feel that there is some problem with the system why are not we ready to take up the responsibility inspite of having millions of bucks under our ass....
Why is that we want someone else to clean the system ??
If only our forefathers had same attitude am sure today we still might me living like slaves....
We need to understand that nothing in this world is ideal...
Neither a father nor a son...Not even a mother....Nothing in this world is ideal...
Every one has their own advantages and disadvantages...Every one is bestowed with some strengths and the same time some weakness....
We, as a nation, need to work to reduce the disadvantages and work towards perfection...
Iam not a great patriot like thousands who have sacrificed their lives so that i can walk with freedom and head held high...
But am one of those who take pride in saying that am an INDIAN...
Jai Hind....
