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 !!
