India Today
by Jahnu Barua on Jul 16, 2006 02:51 PM   Permalink

I feel, people in India never understood the true meaning of 'freedom'. We need to realize that what we got on 15th August 1947 was Country's Freedom and not people's freedom. In fact on that we took the responsibility of the country into our hands. But we mistook that freedom to be our individual's freedom. As a result people at large over the years developed a habit of doing what ever they want without thinking whether it is going to be good or bad for the country. But I am an optimist. A lot of realization has been taking place amongst all Indians in recent times. We must not try to compare this country with America all the time so far development is concerned. Remember America has aquired 127 years of more experience of independence than us. Things will definitely improve in India. And for that we all need to contribute our ideas and actions to this great country of ours. Friends, please remember, today more than 100000 super Indian brains are working for America after getting their education in India. In the process they are contributing to America's progress. And let us realize that India suffers from such reality as well.
