I thought of what to write on this independence day as a reacting indian and suddenly the word "freedom" came to my mind. Many great souls sacrificed alot and even shed their lives to gain the freedom we are enjoying now.
But, how many of us know the real value of the freedom we are enjoying. To know its value we should have a knowledge about the lack of freedom in many other nations. There are countries who rule with iron hands. We are a kind of people who always raise our voices for our rights but there are countries who suppress even the minute protests with iron and cage. So, what I was trying to say was that we are one of the luckiest society at present in the world because of the level of freedom we are enjoying. But, the freedom has actually enslaved us. On this independence day, on the occassion which we remember those great souls who fought with their lives to grab this freedom for us, I call upon you to fight against the misuse of this freedom. Not in streets, not through dirty hunger strikes, not through any kind of protests but in yourselves. Fight against that person inside you who is misusing the great freedom of our nation. Citizens are supposed to enjoy the freedom, not to be the slaves of freedom. In India, we have the freedom to express but dont take it as an opportunity to abuse others, we have the freedom to earn but dont take it as a right to earn what you dont deserve. You have the freedom to travel around the nation, but dont take it as a right to litter the nation. I have personally seen people who are at their international best at other countries but at their worst when they land on their home, India. For example, no one will ask anything to you if you spit on roads even when it is a serious offense in many other countries, but it is a question of our dignity, whether we do that or not. It is easy to blame others for many drawbacks of our country. I am against all those unnecessary agitations because we are living in a democracy and if our country has problems, we are the real reasons for that. For example, 'corruption'. The recent headlines are striken with the agitations happening in the north of the country against the black money and corruption. But have you ever thought how is this black money created. Unaccountable money is called black money, black money is not inly the uncountable crores related to 2G spectrum and all, it is only a larger version of what we see even in our village offices. How is it generated? Beauraucrats and politicians have unaccountable money because someone is giving them money. I swear that 99% of the total earning indians have bribed the beauraucrats, atleast once in their life. And that money is called black money. So, it is us who should change. If we want corruption to be eliminated, we should not involve in that process and there is no use of going behind some leaders budded yesterday who themselves are alleged with corruption to bring down a social evil which has its roots way down. I think i diverted a bit from the topic. What i was talking was about freedom. On this august 15, lets take an oath that we will get rid of overfreedom. We know the value of day only because of night, similarly Freedom is best enjoyed when there are limits for that. If the authorities are not keeping limits for your freedom, you yourselves shiuld do that. Behave as a dignified Indian and a patriotic Indian. Because, those great freedom fighters bought us freedom not to misuse like this but to value it and to enjoy it. Gain freedom from overfreedom for a better India.
Jai Hind and Happy Independence Day.
