The real freedom

63 years have passed since our country had fought its way to freedom from the heinous clutches of the British. Our national leaders have sweated blood just to make sure our country thrives through the ever competitive world and emerges as a world leader. They have lost their everything, just to ensure that the future generations can see India as a country that resembles a heavenly abode. They had fought till their last breath. They had given up their lives, but not their hopes to see India as a nation that sets an example for the other nations of the world. They fought for it, and finally, we got FREEDOM.


Wait. Let's think once again. Freedom? Freedom to preach corruption? Freedom to breach the rules and break the laws? Freedom for the politicians to exploit the people and make false statements and betray the common man? Freedom to practice discrimination on the grounds of race, caste and religion? Freedom to re-inculcate the so called 'banned' practices of child labor and child marriage and bring them into the national practice? Freedom to disrespect our national leaders and make them items of mockery? Freedom to deceive the people and make money in the name of spiritualism and education?


If all these sum up to make the 'FREEDOM' our nation is enjoying right now, we need to wake up.
Would India have been a better country if the British Rule hadn't ended? Let's ensure that the answer to this question remains a 'NO', for now and for ever.
