Heard 'Jana Gana Mana' many times , but never in thisway ..

You might have seen a new compilation of 'Jana Gana Mana' sung by a handful of professional artists [by shaking their heads /hands synchronously with the tune ] in TV ? well I m not talking about that :)
..On the final moment of Anna Hazare's campaign the campaigners were singing 'Jana Gana Mana' [on stage].. as the song proceeded to the last line ..a voice was heard singing those 2 words 'Jaya he, Jaya he' by suddenly escalating (the tone) to such a higher level which actually made me feel as if he was truely declaring the victory ("jaya he")of India ... the voice was none other than from an old soldier of the country with an empty stomach for a cause --- Anna Hazare ".

Getting a chance , watch it on UTube ! you will actually realize what 'Jaya He' means !

Independence day thought !

Today is India's independence day ! Well , today you will see that they (some self obsessed, self oriented Indians, commoners ,celebrities etc ) will mostly talk about:- 'Are we free today ? Have we got freedom?? After 65 years are we still independent” etc etc!

Come-on ! This is not an international day of human's (absolute ) independence-- it is an anniversary of a hard earned freedom of India as a state from British Colonial power, before which Indians were no more than the slaves, with mute voice ,enjoying absolutely void rules and (un)justice !

The 15 august, '47 gave us a sovereign state, making us the way to create a constitution of our own, to enjoy equality, democracy, justice and most importantly dignity! We should consider this very day (in every year ) as a best opportunity to remember the freedom fighters ,showing gratitude , valuing their sacrifices and thanking them once again to make us free citizens of a free country !

Now that we have a full fledged judicial, parliamentary/democratic system, it’s our own inability, flaw-within, reluctance, bad civic sense or/and lack of social responsibilities which are causing all the troubles, posing as threats to our basic 'freedom's here n there! If we want, we can ofcourse now exercise necessary rights, power, laws and systematic democratic measures (including protests n agitation) to cleanup these obstacles of freedom! If we really care, we can do it, but we won't -- because we can hardly afford time n effort, we r too busy with our own 'Zindagi' . if possible we'll discourage them who are at least trying to do something! Instead we will crib: ‘oh man I don't have freedom! '

Though the truth is that there is nothing called absolute freedom, however even for the necessary freedom nobody will offer you it on a silver spoon, you have to acquire on your own and thanks to 15 august that at least we are in a position to do that !!
