A student from Tripura says "We were better off before independence than after". For clarification, he is not an underprivileged tribal but a student studying in one of the premiere institute established and sponsored by the government post independence. A reserved Non Creamy layer other backward caste student criticizes the recruitment policy of government institutions. A public society complains for they are getting only twenty two hour electricity supply that too interrupted. And to mention Sharad pawar wants to partially shift his burden to someone from his party only.
Well, it was a short excerpt of what I see in my daily life. So I will stop discussing these topics because it may never let me complete my first blog. On the eve of the Independence Day which I celebrate every year and thank the revolutionary freedom fighters for providing me the glory to look the world at its eyes. Yes I love my country India, The country which is expected to replicate the biggest economies like US, UK …in the future as nearest as 2050; the country listed among the few nuclear powers; the country which holds a crucial position in reducing global warming, no doubt the biggest threat to the presence of life; and yes the country which is going to host the commonwealth games despite exploring the corruption at the highest level. All of these facts have one thing in common, ”biggest”, and that makes me feel proud that I am not inferior to anyone in this earth. So I am grateful to all those who contributed to achieve me this glorious status. Oh, I forgot ….the boy from Tripura I just mentioned, had some complains but I think that’s their problem and they are responsible for their story. Also why should he complain??He is getting all the facilities a privileged student gets. And yes I am justified in throwing stones on that NC OBC student, Sharad pawar and off course Suresh kalmadi the perpetrator of commonwealth games corruption. So in my perspective everything is going great and you can’t expect everybody to be happy or get everything he desires. Yeah, that’s the point I want to make, I cannot get everything I want so why do I expect to fulfill all my desires.
But I am little bit confused what to do? If I don’t think about the tripuris how can I discover that they are not getting their fundamental rights of life in their native land? That they are ruled by people mostly from Bangladesh who have infiltrated country which as much theirs as it is mine. Should I make the NC OBC student realize that there is a student outside somewhere who has cracked tougher nuts than you in his life and is still struggling to get a chance? And why shouldn’t I enjoy the show if something wrong happens during the commonwealth games and the officials are sued? Yes, I should, because I have been doing this for a long period. And besides, I am not the perfect person to look after these issues. I have my own career goal which has nothing to do with these issues. What I am capable is to criticize everyone when I get a chance. I criticize when the MNS creates violence against Biharis, when Indian Hockey team doesn’t qualifies for the Olympics, when government cannot provide justice to the Bhopal gas tragedy victims, When there is an attack by naxalites on Indian railways, when Taj hotel is taken as hostage by the terrorists, when a big fraud is caught in a big software firm like SATYAM, and when Ravindra Jadeja plays from Indian cricket team despite of a continuous pathetic performance. Because it’s in my nature and this is what I do to entertain myself and call myself a part of the emerging youth population which is socially responsible, highly productive in corporate and which shares most of its idea on twitter, facebook etc. Why should I be like the one who buys books for a young watch man who is eager to study and used to solve sums from the newspaper? Why shouldn’t I complain that he is not doing his duty and that a dog entered in my hostel premises due to his negligence? I already have struggled enough in my life so it’s time for me to enjoy the privileges and entertain myself and my near ones. After all I am also an Indian and I also love my country as much as the others do. I am a proud Indian and every year Independence Day reminds me this and I say Jai Hind as a greeting for my country people. I don't think my country needs anything more from me.And even if if I should do more, I simply won't because I follow live and let live principle and that is the secret of success in my country.
