15th August 1947, a day of immense proportions, my country got independence and we the citizens of this country got the opportunity to breathe in fresh and free air. Thanks to all the freedom fighters who struggled and toiled hard to see their motherland free from the clutches of those Britishers.

But that was then, now the times have changed, and its really a pity that this country has again become a slave. Slave to corruption, slave to blind baseless rituals, slave to regionalism and religion, slave to superstitions. Go to any Government department and you will come to know, the only thing that works there is "MONEY", even the judiciary is not free from this evil of corruption. Cases are made and solved with money only.

Day in and day out we hear about riots and fights happening and people from different religions fighting over small issues. I cant understand, how does it makes a difference if someone believes in god, allah or bhagwaan, after all in the end, we all have to submerge into ashes only. And why to fight while we are alive. This life is really short for spreading love even
One more thing that's making we the people of this country slaves is the baseless rituals and superstitions that we guys possess. Just a couple of days back, my friend RaJ was talking about a thing called Nazar (said others may envy her success and may curse her) and she really believed in this crap. Now if such is the status of an educated youth of India, what can you expect from those who are not so educated. If such is the case why does'nt Roger Federer or even Sonia Gandhi are affected by it, the main thing thats most important is the work you put in and then only you can succeed, thats it. Then none will envy you. We have to come out of this sick mentality.

I as a youth of this country seriously believe that time has come that we shall come and join hands and raise our voices against these evils, that has engulfed this beautiful country. I agree, India is shining. GDP is rising. Industrialisation is their. we are becoming developed but, what about those who are Below Poverty Line, their number is increasing, what about child labour, what about girls being raped, what about widening gap of sex ratio, what about illiteracy and gosh their are many more things, that need to be sorted out, and I am ready to do whatever I can to play my part and make my country independent from these evils.
My India will be independent again......
