Today as we celebrate 64 years as a free nation, I can't help but wonder are we better off at all ?... OK, we are free from the raj granted but what have we gained in the 64 years since Independence ...has the toil of the freedom fighters gone to waste...
I really shudder at what my kids will read in History... Scams...one bigger than the other... fodder scam, 2G scam, 3G scam, the shameful CWG scam that effectively ground India's integrity to dust in the international arena... everyday a new scam is unearthed by the media... imagine having to remember the magnitude of each of the scams and having to vomit it out in the exam papers...
I recently read in the papers that India is fourth on the list of "Most dangerous places for women" , something that I've always maintained, now I stand vindicated... should we really be in such lists when we are dreaming of world domination... shouldn't we be an evolved race...
Back then the British Raj stopped the erstwhile Indian National Congress Leaders from going on a Satyagraha, ironically today it is the same Congress that is stopping Anna Hazare from going on a Satyagraha in support of the Lokpal Bill... lets wait and watch the political circus and see to what levels it will stoop...
Everyone seems to have his own agenda, his own axe to grind and all at the expense of the exchequer... I USED to be very proud to be an Indian, NOW....
