Dear All,

               Happy ‘Independence Day’ to you all! This Independence day, India turns 60. Everyday, as the ‘Independence Day’ is getting closer, both print media and electronic media are showing achievements and tragedies of past 60 years. I watch and read them patiently and try to analyse that was it all really a big success.

After analysis, I found that if we look at individuals efforts, many people have turned up their fortunes in person. Today, we have a big section of high salaried people, some new enterprenuers came up and established big industries in different areas. Governments tax collections has increased many folds. I can see many big hearted people donating lakhs of rupees to Baba Ramdev for his noble cause of Yoga. Number of educated people is rising day by day. The list of achievements is endless. In brief, we are a big success wherever we put our individual effort. We have the art of getting work done by hook or crook.

The only area, which we lack in is our political leadership. Moreover, honesty and  boldness in their deeds. Due to corruption in our political system, moral values has come down in the citizens. The speed of our justice delivery system is very low. The reason behind this and the solution is already explained in my previous blogs.

Today, we have enough number of rich and educated people but I see the lack of civic sense in many rich people when it comes to respect the rules and laws. We have big houses but when it comes to dispose off the house garbage, we hardly hesitate to throw it in front of our neighbour’s house when no is watching. Today we have big cars but hardly few good roads and very little civic sense while driving. This side also, the list is endless.

This Independence day, India turns 60. Generally 60 is the age of retirement. So, this Independe Day, let us retire our ‘chalta hai’ old mindset / prejudices and pledge to become a law abiding citizen and spread this message among people around us.

Happy Independence Day Again.
