Just a few days ago Indians celebrated their 65th Independence day. Sixty five years back the country yearned and fought for its Swaraj against the British. Reading about Gandhiji, Bhagat Singh was very inspiring when I was younger. I recall penning down many an essays glorifying this day and feeling my heart swell up with pride.
But today I see a country where honesty is just a policy,the judiciary system has dismayingly failed to uphold its standards and the police is simply a puppet in the hands of the ruling party. The parliament is the defaming apex of the nation where one finds the leaders of the nation dozing off, fighting like cats and dogs or even worse.....watching porn in their phones!!! Each session is either marked by a walk off by the opposition or is adjourned by the Speaker. The CBI is a spineless organisation which has not been able to solve a single case in totality for years now. We are still entertaining Pakistani terrorist Kasab in our jail with five star service instead of executing him for his crime!!! We still have reservations right from schools to colleges to promotion in jobs for more than half of the population now and still where are we heading to???
We would like to think of ourselves as a developing nation but I would like to ask....where is the development?? We are building apartments but we are killing for possession rights. We are educating our daughters only to kill them when they don't bring dowry along!!! We are giving farmers free electricity and watching them kill themselves out of poverty!!! We are giving free computers to village children but there is no electricity!!! We are fighting and killing each other in the name of religion and community!!!
I think people have got the wrong idea about development. Its not development if you are turning into a savage!!!!
And coming down to the developmental plans by the government. Well they are all laid down in paper and their existence is witnessed by those papers alone. The Government draws five year plans which they fail to complete even in 10 years and even worse....some just wither in those files never seeing daylight in their lifetime!!! The development is swallowed up by the money sucking demons we have chosen to rule us. All the money laundered in various scams...the 2G, Adarsh, Coalgate ( just a few of the latest ones) amount to crores of rupees. Even a percent of that used and maybe some of those developmental plans would have been completed in 4 years!!! But who would even think about it? Those who do either end up like Baba Ramdev or Anna Hazare!!! Fighting for a cause very few believe in and even fewer actually dedicate their life for.
As for me..... I would just like to say that.... Swaraj is obsolete.....Scam-Raj is in vogue now!!!!
