Though I know the topic itself seems to alluring enough to subjugate
you to read further. But this blog post is inspired by the passion to do
something for our country. I haven’t seen all the episodes of ‘Satyamev Jayate’
nor have I joined gang Anna, I’m just one curious girl who wish to live in a
world where peace preludes the falsehood. The more I wish to see my country
proper, the more I see inequality, poverty, corruption, and to add insensitivity
and no civic sense and humanity among us.
15th August, 1947
Yes, this is the day when India got it's independence. Independent
enough to make decisions of self pity, self destruction and corruption. We crib,
all we do is cribbing. Even I do. We consider it as our birth right. As rightly
asked by Dr. Abdul Kalam, “where do we see ourselves forth 20 years”. The answer
should be ‘growing’. Well that we are. We are growing in terms of population, aren’t
we? If I ask you what is eating up India, okay shoot five problems majorly
effecting our nation’s growth. Searching from the endless list? Don’t even try,
you’ll end up agitated and irritated.
Many states of India don’t even have drinking water. Half of
the nation is in darkness at their homes to provide electricity to rich cities
like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, etc. Healthcare has a sorry state, food is
inadequate, and literacy level never reaches beyond 60%. We live in a sick
country, where we can eat a dinner worth 5000 but will think twice before
shelling out money for donation.
That’s why I say “Do it, it feels good”. Help others around
you. Be it smallest of it but when you do you’ll feel good. Find a cause to
support, promote that cause if you’re capable of. Let people know how they can
contribute. Because if we keep on blaming, cribbing about the condition of our
country, that’s not gonna help. I know this article doesn’t talk about anything
new. But yes it talks and intrigues you to do it and do it now. I don’t wish to
name the issues prevailing in our country because we’ll know it. It’s up to you
which issue you wish to address.
I’m sure there’d be one Independence Day in this country
when we’ll will be able to answer the question “where do we see ourselves 20
years forth”. And the answer is “together”. Together we can and together we will. Let’s join hands to walk to a brighter, better
India. Our India. New India.
