Happy one another Independence Day!!!
Hi friends, Happy one another Independence Day! This is the 20th Independence Day of my life time. But unexpectedly I am not happy today. Strange, a person who leaves no chance to portray himself the most patriotic is not happy on the day we get rid of British powers? Ya, I agree with you but the question arises, for what we should feel elated? Is it poverty, inequality, burns of frequent riots, female feticide, illiteracy or inhuman treatment of the poorest of poor and most marginalized people in Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Manipur and Kashmir?
I don’t feel good because more than 300 million people in my country are not going to have enough food even after 65 years of this so called independence. I don’t feel good because today the farmers, peoples who provide us food, are committing suicide every 32 minutes. I don’t feel good because in world’s largest democracy people who elected the politicians are being looted by them (politicians) every day.
And I firmly believe that morally we don’t have any right to feel good because this celebration of power, achievements and much hyped democracy will conceal the most glaring reality of India, reality of hunger, reality of corruption, reality of discrimination, reality of sense of insecurity in our own country.
Today I would like to raise some most disturbing issues of India which are being neglected because they never caused any problem to us, the mainstream, well-off Indians. India is at war with its own people. We are fighting continuously since 1947 with our own people. Be that Kashmir, Punjab, Telangana, Manipur, Assam, Nagaland, Mizoram, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Jharkhand, West Bengal, we “the biggest democracy of world” have or had deployed force to fight with our own citizens and that too for the most backward, deprived section of our society, in Kashmir they are Muslims, In Punjab they are Sikh, in others they are tribal who don’t have anything.
Here are some videos, do watch them. I hope it will help you to see the other face of so called emerging superpower of India.
1. This is about two tribal Indian Soni Sori and Lingaram Kodopi. This is about their struggle and atrocities done by our democratic govt. to all the tribal in India, reminding them again-2 that they don't have any place in our highly civilized society and no right at all.
2. Land of Missing Children - India
this video shows how a country proudly claimed to respect women the most are treating women this is also about how much we are concerned about these people and how sensitive is govt. for the people they are assigned to work for.
3. The whole truth: Kashmir
This video is about "Our Kashmir" - a Paradise which is now bleeding furiously. A would like to tell you that an totally opposite picture of reality is being shown to us, Kashmiri people are not happy with us, they are demanding freedom like we were demanding 66 years before. Today we need to put off the specs of extreme nationality (Ugra Rastiyavad) and embrace the idea of Humanity. Do watch it and then you would be familiar to a new face of our democracy and Indian army too.
Don't think me a pessimistic I am as optimistic as you are, but it doesn't mean that we should't provide any hindrance to the most glaring problems, because for the right solution you need to diagnose the right disease. Please do give your feedback about the whole article..... (Jai Hind, Jai Bharat)
