Our country attained independence 61 yrs ago ,n one of the best gifts that the British gave 2 this country as a token of their respect 2 the soldiers who fought 4 them still stands the test of time in NEW DELHI as INDIA GATE. Isn't it a shame on us that in 61 yrs of free indian n 4 wars we have not been able 2 gift 1 national war memorial 2 our soldiers SHAME SHAME !!!!.Obviously the sacrifices of our politicians are mush more then the soldiers cos their memorials occupy vaste expanses of land in the capital n every where else possible.But then we are not worried bout all this are we cos our nation is getting richer n people r busy they dont have time 4 all this nonsense right??
The media is 2 be blamed equally cos some stupid actress,politician,actor,cricketer or their ghar walas falling ill, having fever will find front page coverage in print n breaking news status in our TRP hungry news channels but then come 2 think of it our society is interseted in all this only rather then who laid down their lives for motherland cos they find mention on 8-9 page in 2 lines in papers n 10 sec coverage in news rt??
n why r v cribbing about all this when no(politicians)was able 2 attend our 71 war hero Field Marshal SHFJ MANEKSHAW's cremation then u cannot think that lesser mortals can get better treatment plz!!!!
We all r scum bugs 2 have such politicians ,bureaucrats n system cos its we who are responsible 4 this .Its time we wake up or it will be over for ever!!!
