I N d e P e n D E N c E  DAY – 66^th

15^th  August ,1947     to  15^th August , 2012

THIS IS WITHOUT ANY BIAS, MALACE & PREJUDICES AGAINST ANY ONE BUT INNER VOICE OF A COMMON CITIZEN CONCERNED IN THE INTEREST OF WELL BEING OF HUMANITY.

Independence in India is as uneven as the letters written above. India is not ONE but there are many India’s within the Political Map of India.  British India was divided  into present India and Pakistan – East & West against the inner voice, intention, wish and WILL of not only of the masses but also of the leaders on the forefront including Mahatma Gandhi who used to say Pakistan shall be created on my dead body and Mohamad Ali Jinha too had never thought of the division if British India like the manner it had happened. He was a TB patient  and was sure to come back to his bungalow back in Bombay after the formalities are completed about the division. Pt Jawahar Lal Nehru was also not interested in partition of British India and migration of people from their native homes to new placed but under the influence of Madam Edwina Mountbatten with whom he was in romance decided not to delay Independence but to become  Prime Minister of India even at the risk of partition of British India. In short common people of both the Countries having same language, customs, traditions, rituals and culture are still suffering and are devoid of the Love and affection of near and dear one’s having been migrated from home land to the other part of the continent because of the Ego and follies of the leaders at the forefront. Same thing happened while creation of Bangladesh when East Pakistan was separated from West Pakistan.

Absence of Harmony spells disharmony precursor to the cause of agony being suffered by common people in all the Countries India, Pakistan and Bangladesh and the three countries which could be a big Power in Asia are in cold war situation not at rest and peace but for the lack of wisdom on the part of political leaders who had and still fail to understand that United we stand and divided we fall.

WHO IS BENEFITTED AFTER INDEPENDENCE:

INDIA OF POLITICIANS:  Democracy is un-natural. Each person born is UNIQUE creation of God  in all respects but in so called democracy all voters are considered equal and the basis of One person, One Vote and One value irrespective  of the wisdom and understanding one possesses. Politicians are the happiest lot in India who claim to serve the masses only through promises (never to be fulfilled) and enjoy all facilities and privileges, power and Position at the cost of Public money. Politicians are becoming rich and richer after each election and the Voter is becoming poor & poorer after each election. One can verify this from the declaration of assets by candidates at the time of filing application to contest elections. Before election a candidate is servant of the people, after election he becomes VIP or VVIP but the poor voter becomes the worst person even to meet his chosen person.  Democracy as per constitution enacted and given to themselves is  the Govt of the People, by the people & for the people  but the spellings of the key words have changed its Govt OFF the people, BUY the people & FAR  the people. Before Independence during British Raj there used to be a  JURY  attached to a court of Law and the administration used to consult on Public matters the responsible and well to do people of influence  but after Independence  Govt  OFF the people being FAR  from the people has done away with the said practice and the elected representatives consider as the cusdodians of the people and masters to decide about the fate of the people. Dr Rajendra Prashad in 2007 had in his bank account Rs 1,432 after adding interest it was 1,508/-   As compared to that check the bank account of any Municipal counselor , MLA, MP, Mi nister, PM and Rashtrya Pati. Our Hon’ble  former President Pratibha Patil “ PATIL FLEW TWICE MORE THAN PM AND ANSARI”  (Hindustan Times dated 14/8/2012 pare 10) India is heaven for Politicians.  I am reminded of the remarks by Justice  B.N. Agarwal ,Retd from Sopreme Court, saying EVEN GOD CANNOT SAVE THIS COUNTRY.

INDIA OF BUREAUCRATS   

If Wealth is lost, nothing is lost: If health is lost, some thing is Lost, but if CHARACTER IS LOST EVERY THING IS LOST.  After Independence Officials sitting in Public dealing offices have lost their character.  In India nothing works without  BRIBE. Dr S Radhakrishnan, 2^nd President of India  had said CORRUPTION IS RAMPANT AT ALLLEVELS. I ASK WHAT WE HAVE LEARNT FROM THE REMARKS FROM THE HEAD OF THE STATE??? Corruption is growing by leaps and bounds. NO LOKPAL & OR JAS LOKPAL CAN DO ANY THING.  Anna Hazare and Baba Ram Dev are seeking cheep publicity by encasing the woos of the people who are under unbearable burden of cost of living growing un-checked leading to unprecedented rise of crime of all types.

INDIA OF COMMON MAN

I would love to see a common citizen who feels happy and proud of Independence since 1947 till now 2012. . Education is being auctioned, services are being auctioned, duties of govt staff are being auctioned. Corruption is order of the day. Nothing works any where without bribe. I rely on the episodes of program SATYAMEVE JAYATE  Organized by Aamir Khan, film Actor AND there is no deed no add more about city life in small and/or metropolitan cities and/or the urban life.

INDIA OF VILLAGES/ REMOTE AREAS

 People do not know an d understand what INDEPENDENCE is. Poor people are obliged to eat Mud where as food grains are allowed to rot but not given to hungry to eat even after Supreme Courts orders. In this Social Welfare State. Doctors don’t touch for treatment the poor. Poor people are obliged to sell for money their children. Less said the better.

ESSENTIAL SERVICES AND NECESSITIES OF LIFE

During the last 65 years we are unable to provide clean DRINKING WATER, ELECTRICITY but allow it to be wasted by keeping lights on during day time some times. Govt has failed to control price rise which disturbs the monthly budged and people are crying on roads and the situation is prelude to revolution around the corner.  THERE IS NO GOVERNMENT WORTH THE NAME.

WE IN POOR AND DEVELOPING INDIA WHICH IS DEVOID OF LOVE AND CHARACTER CANNOT AFFORD COSTLY ELECTIONS IN THE NAME OF UN-NATURAL DEMOCRACY BUT NEED MERITOCRACY ON THE BASIS OF VULUNTEERS FOR WELFARE STATE WITHOUT PAY & ALLOWANCES BUT ONLY HONORARIUM. LET INTELLECTUALS COME OUT AND BE NOT ACCOMPLICES TO THE DETERIORATING STATE OF AFFAIRS FOR WHICH COMING GENERATIONS MAY CURSE US. UNITED WE STAND DEVIDED TO FALL.

MAY GOD WISDOM DAWN ON INTELLECTUALS AND CONCERNED CITIZENS INPUBLIC INTEREST.  WE ARE DEVOID THE DE FACTO INDEPENDENCE EVEN AFTER 65 YEARS- PONDER OVER.
