India may have got its freedom in 1947, but as Frank Wright rightly said -"Freedom is from WITHIN" ... I guess we are far from that.
India may have attained freedom from British, but as
Munnabhai rightly said in his second installment - "Desh toh apna hogaya,
lekin log paraye hogaya" ... how true
65 years later....the question still lingers - Are we free ?
Here are some random thoughts - as to when can India really called a free
country :
- When majority of people refuse getting fooled by political leaders and start taking up politics in their own hand.
- When parents stop asking their kids "How many marks did you get?" & start asking them "What did you learn today?"
- When we stop feeling sorry for the man who is dying in a car accident and stop our car and help him out.
- When they will find out that a girl & a guy are just best friends, whom they assumed to be in relationship
- When Government stops spending money on Incredible India ads and instead uses that money to feed poor children because that makes an Incredible India
- When people will stop spending their time in cribbing about traffic and have time to follow the traffic discipline
- When police is just for better governance and not fighting crime
- When we dump religion and think about spirituality
- When any Gujarati can goto North eastern state and play Garba and a citizen from North eastern state is free to do Manipuri in Tamil Nadu
- When we understand that just because we invented ZERO, doesn’t mean we have to get emotionally attached to it, the world has gone far ahead and added couple of Ones to it ! It’s time to Buck Up
