“sau mein se assi beimaan fir bhi mera desh mahaan”Just now we celebrated 58th Republic Day… India has travelled a long journey since its independence…We r proud to be a part of this democratic free country.
We have come a long way in terms of the progress made…be it in agriculture, manufacturing or services sector…India shining, India Poised so many adjectives been attached to our country…its seen as a major investment hub for the FII’s n also FDI …reforms n removal of restrictions had triggered the progress made by our country…
The GDP figures v show or flash so much in the papers, the rising Sensex, the Mergers & Acquisitions taking place every year, the boom in the retail sector all show a rosey picture of our nation…but what about the people living below the poverty line?? What about the unemployment situation in our country???? What about the Human Development Index parameters which rank India among the lowest???? How much do v address these issues or think about them??? What all is the govt. and we as citizens of r country doing for the lower strata of the society??? I know there r so many schemes and
Concessions and subsidies govt. provides for the upliftment of the poor but r they channelised in the right direction???? Or they fall in the pockets of bureaucrats and politicians???? Is there any end to the vicious circle or the trap we r falling into????
India is a mixed economy & land of varied cultures & languages….a country driven by sentiments and emotions & religions …though with the changing culture n broadened outlook things r changing…Indians have made their presence felt across the globe…they r hardworking n committed to their work…with the coming up of BPO n KPO industries in India n the increasing bend towards services sector…with soaring salaries n more disposable income at the hands of people consumerism is rising n we r becoming more westernized in r thoughts n way of living….India sure is going to be transformed to a developed nation in the coming years…though the focus should be on inclusive growth…
But the thought which bothers me is that aren’t v drifting away from r values n ethnicities, will our future generation remember the names of r freedom fighters??? Will they ever realize the importance of the blood n sweat which these people shed for the independence of r country?? I guess we cant say anything now…but I hope till the time we have History text books n movies like Rang De Basanti, Shaheed Bhagat Singh and many more…there is still hope
Whatever v become n wherever we go m sure all of us Indians are proud to b part of this land which has produced great personalities like Mahatama Gandhi, Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Chandra Shekhar Azad, Subhash Chandra Bose, Rabindranath Tagore and the list in endless …hats off to this country & I love my India:)
