In short, it is not the democracy and independence our forefathers dreamed for. Our intellectuals, saints and religious gurus irrespective of the religions and their belief to sit in peace in front a table and think, think and think about our present debacle we created for our country, our children. Can I hope that at least some initiatives will be started from various sections of our society and our political leadership to make some drastic changes to make our country%u2019s freedom and its existence much much meaningful for the benefit of all our country men?
As per world bank statistics, we can find that more than 45 percent of Indian children under five are malnourished. Infant mortality at 60 deaths per 1,000 live births, which is also worse than that of our neighbouring country, Bangladeh. We are creating various types of cultures and various types of new generation by adopting different types of educational curriculum. Students present day life is getting more and more hard and they are becoming a new era machines instead of good Samaritans and people whose aim should be to become a good Indians first, but their behaviours and studies are creating a new creatures of generation which is not at all good for any society.
A day starts for present student from morning tuitions then normal classes, further tuitions for various subjects in different places, stretching their total day efforts from 10 to 18 hours per day. Then they returning to their house take some foods in front of TV and sleeps for a short time. No home work, No Home Study. No family gatherings. No time for conversation between members of the family members. Is this good for our country? Can our children will be capable to bear the natural calamities and normal life%u2019s debacles and can they be God Fearing new citizens tomorrow? NO!!! It will lead only to create more and more destructive types of citizens and mentally psych people all over the country. It will also lead to increase in suicidal rates in the society.

Student days - dog days...your words here may well be more useful to those parents who are still blind, deaf and dumb also those neighbours who need to be shunned off the society for they watch TV that too with a high volume...TV IS THE SPOIL OF THE SOCIETY. LET US BAN TV PROGRAMMES - ALL THAT EVEN NEED POLICING OR CENSORING - for we cannot afford to spend on those monitoring...each should get responsible and matured right away on this big aspect.
What happened to our society and what is the way out? Can%u2019t we introduce a national educational curriculum? Can%u2019t we impose national language and state language compulsory for administration purpose in both state and national level? Can%u2019t we make our great language Sanskrit as a compulsory language from at least secondary level? We should first respect our India and Indians. There is no fault to study other foreign language and knows the foreign culture. But we should not forget our great country, its famous cultural resources, our language etc.
We all are telling that we have progressed very well and people are all living in a healthy wealthy condition with all facilities. As I stated earlier, there are some changes, but it is only natural and Indian Politicians did not make any laws or changes in an earnest way to change the life beautiful to every Indian. We are, alas, but going and inviting foreign countries to come and help us in the way of money and their products, where in India, we have our own resources and abundant money in actual. The selfish politicians bad administration inviting foreign flows of money, power and all other things, thereby we are destroying our own independence and culture, which they forgets.

well highlighted.. we have our own resoursces abundant and it is ONLY the selfish politicians bad administration...True Very True...what shall we all do to root them out?..start with our house, street, keep it clean ourselves,..ignore municipality help, government officials will automatically become ignored and scored off the scene and help lives of our Great INDIA
Our heads will down in shame if we ask our children to sing our National Song %u2013 Jan Gan Mana. They don%u2019t know this national song in full. Imposed cultural program on every INDEPENDENCE DAYS and REPUBLIC DAYS will get negative impact on mind of children and society as a whole. Our new generation will not be interested to see our national festivals, even the pure Rakhsna Bandan, but will be more interested to celebrate New Year day in Jan. 1st, Freindship day, Dadday%u2019s Day, Mummy%u2019s day, Valentaines Day etc etc.
Present day generation is ashamed to speak our national language, but is feeling as a super hero when they speak in English. English the blood and soil of all these people. They don%u2019t know their mother language, they don%u2019t know their National Language, but they only knows English, English, English. English culture is everywhere we can see, whether it is in society, individuals, homes, functions of small or big, birth day celebrations, wedding anniversaries, death anniversaries etc. etc. Purity and the safety, love and respect in family lives are all in danger.
Election Commission will not recognize any party if their party%u2019s constitution is violating Indian Constitutional Norms and if anybody violates the constitutional norms, can be de-recognized and Indian Judiciary %u2013 who is the other arm of the Indian Democracy can take action against them as well.
So my earnest request to the political spectrum that they disband their small out fit and joins any of the national party for the benefit of the Indian Democracy and its people. We need only two or three national parties and we will need strict electoral reforms also to keep a tab on all the activities of these political parties and leaders.
I see in the present India, utter disarray on all sides, political, economical and cultural fields. Political leader%u2019s assets and properties are getting more and thicker than that of Industrialists. Small scale industries are in danger stage. Delayed justice is the order of the day. We all are competing each other who is the most supporter of foreign culture nd its ideologies. Our present generation is not aware of our internal beauty and its cultural values at all. We all blindly believe in Foreign Culture and impose it from the birth of a new child. Our Mothers are pleased to hear MOM or Mummy and Fathers, Dad or Daddy instead of Maji or Pithaji. Kakas are known as Uncle and Chachis are better known as Aunt.

Atleast, get on and speak out to as many as possible, the best way to spread out your message and sincere opinions..Books are already available in plenty...So not sure about that idea working out...the message is more urgent..now..
All the political parties except communists, ideology and constitution of their organization and aim are similar. So, why we want several political parties in India. These leaders have to understand that large number of political organization is not for the benefit of the country and democracy, but it was the creation of divide and rule policies adopted by the main national party from 1947 onwards. In present day politicians are dividing and appeasing to sections of our community in the name of religion, caste, colur, language etc. but they all are forgetting that they cannot rule this country as per the present constitutional set up we formed, to give one time appeasement to any other community or states or religion. We have strong arms of Judiciary, Election Commission, Media etc. to control the wings of unconstitutional things if any political party dares to do against the constitution. Some political parties are arguing that they cannot support communists, some are making statements that they cannot support BJP as they are the communal party and some are making statements that they are the supporters of particular castes etc. But they all are forgetting that the political parties are recognized by the Election Commission. Election Commission will not recognize any party if their party%u2019s constitution is violating Indian Constitutional Norms and if anybody violates the constitutional norms, can be de-recognized and Indian Judiciary %u2013 who is the other arm of the Indian Dem
Indian National Congress was the supreme law of the land and judiciary, police and all other institutions were misused during this short period. But, one good thing happened in those turbulence days: i.e. formation of a new national political front who was all divided and attacked each other before.
Continuous emergency period got international attention, international community%u2019s call for resume normal democratic way of functioning and the uneasiness of the forces within compelled her to withdraw the emergency and rest all knows.
Now the present situation is going worst to worst and if the political parties who are in and out of the ruling sector barring the Congress, are not seeing the writing of the wall, will have to pay heavy price for their inefficiency to be a good political party and good governance not only in the organization level, but also to provide good governance of the public. The Indian National Congress Members and supporters have no ideology except that of their members Indira-Nehru families blind worship!!! Our great Mahatma was right in saying to disband the Indian National Congress after we got independence!!!
Blind faith of the supporters of Nehru family created an atmosphere that Indian National Congress is the private property of Nehru Family and there is A BIG NO! on all other leaders opinion and voices except that of the Nehru Family Members, on all issues. No democratic way of internal elections were done at any level in a proper way as per the democratic norms in this organization after Nehru%u2019s daughter, entered into the administration of Congress organization.
Even though we adopted democracy, sovereignty and secularism, after Nehruvian Era, major changes we find in the entire administration and its policies. In between nationalization of banks and other small activities Indira Rule showed, she herself gone for the capitalist forces over all development thereby millions of millions life of ordinary citizen suffered a lot. Dictator mentality, growing unemployment, differences of opinion into the congress organization on difference administrative policies, protests of organized labours, judicial activism etc. changed this party chief in a peculiar situation and she showed his true color of her and her organization by imposing internal emergency, which was solely aimed to save her Chair of Power at hook or crook as is doing by the Pakistan Military Leader, Mushraraf at present. During the emergency period what happened to the millions of people who were asking for justice and a good living condition, everybody knows. Indian National Congress was the supreme law of the lan
By creating states into language basis, we had done another mistake. It created distances of oneness we had during the Independence struggle. We had to make states for the administration purpose and not on the basis of language basis.
After the independence, we adopted a truly democratic way of rule. But alas, there was a cent percent one party rule in this country for more than 50 years of our rule. Ruling party did not allow growing differences of opinion of their own party, but also for other national parties to grow for the good functioning of democratic system. The continuous rule by the one party created arrogance, corruptions at al levels of the administration and even in the party leadership and its front runners at all levels. Lawlessness and injustice were everywhere against the supporters and ground level workers of other political parties. Divide and Rule given by the British Empire, very cleverly imposed by this Indian National Congress at all levels.
After the independence, our respected RASHTRPITA advised the Indian National Congress to disband the organization to make a way to form new political party so that democratic function can earnestly start. However, nobody listened to his advise and instead what happened: those people who were directly and indirectly supporting the British Rule entered into this party and no other political party can grow in national level, to make our country into strong democracy.
During the Congress Rule, of course, we have got tremendous changes which is natural (changes is universal and nobody can strike against natural developments which are taking place into the universe), but we have got more defects also.
First major mistakes we have done are on the Kashmir issue. We could not solve it amicably so far. It is the major failure on the part of the Congress and Muslim League. First of all, we should not have asked for partition and we would have to find out other ways for Undivided Bharat. But the hasty decisions taken by the Congress leadership created a big injury on the minds of Akhand Bharat Mata. We all know what happened in those busy days after British Empire officially declared to quit India.
