on 61st year on Independence Kudooos to all the leaders
by Mohammed imran on Aug 14, 2008 12:26 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

On 61st year of independence and having lived in this nation for the last 40 years i think i owe it to its leaders
Corrupt , criminals , castiest , funadamental what ever we may call them they have been able to move this nation a long way.
Wilson churchill strongly believed a country so divided on caste and relegious lines can not stand the test of time and existance. Indians like vivekandana and tagore were also sceptic.
Today we stand at the helm of global reputation as one of the only 5 counties in the world which grew as emerging Nations of the few 100 countries that were set free after the second world war.
A nation whcih did not have a own stell plant in 1947 today have some of the biggest steel gaints
A nation which did not know how to make a Car toaday have guuts to aquire some ikon brands
A nation which transported most of its goods in bullokcards as early as 1940's today ...
A whcih dint have an Aeroplane till 1950 ....
Kudos of the collective leadership of this Nation dfor we are here

What is the use of these giant steel plants and cars and aeroplanes. Lord Ram our god and the creator of earth, heavens and the entire universe who was born in 22 places and not on one place have we build a mandir for him.

No doubt we made progress but we have long way to go.
600 to 700 million of people have yet to taste the fruit of true freedom.
But I agree what ever corrupt system we have, we still manage to atleast crawl forward.
When I see Pakistan, Srilanka, Nepal, almost whole Africa, Mideastern country, east European country, I feel good about India.

To most of blogger on this forum, India gave them education, that why they are sitting in west and cursing our country.

I am very proud of my country. May god bless it with peace and prosperity.
Sawtantra Diwas ki Subh Kamna....Azadi Mubarak...Happy Independence day.

I agree to your comment about people sitting in the western world and cursing India.. I feel bad when they feel proud about themselves that they could escape the chaos.. and how India cannot come out of the 3rd world country title.. It's about time we accept that each and everybody has to contribute whatever little they can to improve things..

Mohammed Imran,
I agree with your post. Given our rocky history, Indians and India are doing okay. Despite the "million mutinies" that take place in different parts of the country, there is progress.
Millions and millions of families are living normal lives. Their children enjoy school, they have religious and other celebrations, go to office, run businesses. On the whole, are happy.

I cannot say, that Indians living in the U.K., or U.S.A. or Canada are "happier". They have their own little problems. May be electricity black outs are not one of them. But there may be other issues.

Whatever our differences, in this sub-continental sized country, our DESTINIES are INTER-LOCKED.

Excellent comment Mr. Mohd. Imran. May be our leaders are corrupt but still far better than our neighbouring countries. Democracy is still alive in our country. We have still hope that one day we will become a superpower.
