Another year of Independence

It makes me think..You know...When people wish 'Happy Independence day' or I wish people, it makes me think if the day is really as significant as it is supposed to be. This is the day we should really celebrate every year because this is the year we got freedom from being ruled by a foreign body and became a democratic country....The common people thus were empowered with a set of rights and endowed upon by certain responsibilities for the well being of the country as well as the people. But did we do justice to that gift?
                                   Yes, our country has excelled and made a mark in the world scenario, has developed and flourished in the field of Science, Technology, Economy and Culture, but at the grass root level, our society is rotting. This is not what the leaders wanted when they struggled and fought to give us freedom. Indian women have become a lot more independent and progressive than they were in 1947, but the danger they are facing in everyday life now is despicable....Everybody is aware of that. I don't want to elaborate anymore.Corruption is the other virus that is slowly eating up the base of our country...Look I won't want to sound complaining...but it is a sad truth that while a part of 'India' is shining and glowing....in certain areas 'India' is darker than ever. So the sad part is that even though we celebrate the day we were freed from being ruled by a foreign country, its a fact that everyday we dream about leaving this rotting country and building a future in some foreign land......
So, when will India be truly 'Independent'????? Makes me think....Lets pledge today that we won't lose hope and we will do our little part in the betterment of OUR country.....
