Happy Independece Day India?

Independence from rape, 
Independence from gender bias, 
Independence from female foeticide, 
Independence from farmer suicides, 
Independence from acid attacks, 
Independence from environmental abuse, Independence from illiteracy,
Independence from poverty, Independence from racial hatred & religious bias,
Independence from bad roads & potholes,
Independence from corrupt leaders,
Independence from fearing freedom of speech,
Independence from bribery,
Independence from poaching, Independence from lies,
schemes and scams...

Oh India,

You truly are beautiful, your people have the sweetest smiles, warmest hearts... You have all the riches the world envies, breathtaking nature, heritage, culture, monuments, spirituality, arts, music
awe-inspiring diversity, colours, flavours...

Let us love our nation & give her, her forests, oceans, animals and each other the long overdue respect we deserve...

Lets support and give those who died for our Independence and those that serve us by risking their lives everyday for our safety, our borders, our cities the respect they deserve.

Lets be truly Independent, so we can each proudly say Bharat Mata ki Jai!!!

  2. In today's India these words seem like an escapist fantasy.

    1. Well, who made this todays' India? Who elected todays' India? It will take time, but if people want things to change, they will start with themselves, their family, their friends etc. Easy to point fingers on the outside....

    2. We have all contributed or are contributing to this mess. Kudos to you who are trying to change things. I agree that my tone is one of dejection, but that is what it is. I support you, but i am somewhere deeply dismayed with where we are going as a country. We have no enforcement, no safety for citizens, we are reckless drivers. I have seen that people don't even slow down for someone crossing a road in bangalore, and i see that everywhere. If i slow down, that person is in danger of being hit by the car speeding behind me and trying to overtake me. Where is our respect for human life? I am a concerned citizen,but somewhere i have given up fighting against the system. I support and respect your attempt, and as i said previously, i wish i am wrong and you are right in the long run.
