India at 67!

This is the very very first year I'm blogging on August 15 and especially on the Independence Day of India. I'm not an Indian citizen, but every Indians from the universe are somehow by root belongs to India. And by that way I consider myself as a Proud Indian who never born in India but loves India so much. Today morning I woke up, ready to rant on about what a proud nation we are. Independent,,, modern,,, and savvy. So why is it then, suddenly I found myself lost in more negative comments from the locals and those who lives abroad. Some call our independence just an "Illusion", while some other question what is the point of our INDEPENDENCE actually? Today is the day where we are supposed to remember the teachings of Gandhi. But what do we really have to remember? That we are independent of a country that ruled over us for years before we finally kicked them out? But over 60 years later, are we really independent? Till date, we hear of stories of the female infanticide, dowry, corruption,  and even caste discrimination. Not really independent from our mentality and thinking.

The word INDEPENDENCE is totally taken for granted. Physical independence was the initial problem. And so through brave hearts like Gandhiji and Nehruji, we drove out the British. That act in itself was a foundation for what we should have followed. However here we are at 66 years later, still reeling in issues that are rather sticky. Ultimately the problem is very simple : Lack of EDUCATION.

There is a huge difference. But it's fair to blame all the above issues on the uneducated?? As an educated Indians, we too have a responsibility towards our country. The first of course is so simple. VOTE. The illiterate don't know the differences between their politicians. They are hungry for anything, and thus they will place their vote in those who provide them with empty promises. Every five years ones a metrovoter chooses not to go out and vote. By that you're actually allowing one more corrupt politician to gain another illiterate vote.

Todays' youth have a responsibility to get involved. it's your country, your future. if you're sick of the system, then get and do something rather than just sitting in your sofa, drinking a cup of chaiy and commenting on the ministers who are filling their pockets. And if you're told you don't know what you're talking about, you're still a kid, et all that jazz, then instead of shrugging and walking away, take a stand. The power of youth shouldn't be underestimated.

Look to say we are not an independent strong nation is totally false. This is one of the reasons we are attacked by terrorists regularly. They fear the pace at which we're progressing. But this is not a reason to back down. In fact, now more than ever, we need to get it together. Now this is the time. Our freedom fighters say, " This is not the India we fought for." It's now time to make it that India.

Jai Hind... I am and will always be a proud Indian.

Another BOMB?!?

After finished watching Payanam yesterday night I switched back to TWITTER and got to know that there was a bomb blast again in Bombay and it was so shocking for me nearly like getting heart-attack. And when I told it to my sister and sister-in-law, they was about to fall of from their chair. Dad was sleeping and Mom was in prayers room. This is just because my brother was in Bombay for a past three(3) days. Immediately we turn on to SUN TV to watch the news and thank GOD nothing have happen to the place my bro lives. I called my anna, he and his other caption and Pilots was perfectly fine. Lucky for us, our loved ones are safe and sound.

My one and only question to the Indian government is whether can they or can't they protect their citizens?? From my view Terrorist are doing their job well because you are not doing your job. This is truly not fair for the Mumbai peoples to deal out with such incidents over and over again. Just because they happen to be resilient city, it doesn't mean that this vitality should be taken for granted. What the Indian Government have been doing for tax paying citizens over there. If they are not able to protect us, it's better for them to step out of it and we would find another better administration or you step it up.

I think for this time the Twitter social network has helped us a lot by retweeting so much of tweets as finding the lost person's bomb blast, contacts and so many things. And the rumors too was kept to the minimum. And it was the very first time all the information's of social media in India did not sensationalize a dire situation.

And who we should blame. The terrorist? The Government? Or the peoples who lives there? Well the terrorist knows well that we don't have the enough securities for the Mumbaiwalis, so they attack us again and again. And this is the truth which the Indian Government have to accept it.
