Today we are celebrating 63rd Year of Independence. My simple question is... What sort of Independence we are celebrating?
We failed to develop our country after independence, the baseless laws and believes are not crippling our country but already have crippled it. The roots are too deep not that it can't be cut. Just for example to apply for a job of peon one should not have any law case against him, but for a job for Prime Minister you can apply from the prison.
Politicians are seen as corrupt people (except for a few). The justice have gone completely blind. Gandhi and Nehru repeatedly got arrested voluntarily because they trusted British justice. But todays politician resist arrest even though he is innocent, because he is liable to get stitched up like Omar Abdullah.
Britishers left six decades too early. The system that is existing today will never let our country to develop. The quota system, i am unable to understand why we have quotas when we shout that India is a secular country. If not religion than why cast?
After a terrorist attack last year, the security in increased for five star hotels, but not for country as a whole. Why we always fail to understand the things even when we copy from the western countries. USA, after 9/11 increased security of their all important building but also increased the security of the country, that we can see even today.
Being Britishers colony, India has really developed. They abolished the Sati ritual, trust me, no Indian can ever do that(If you know how much people believed in Sati that time).
Indians are more happy by migrating to different countries even when they don't have any right to vote, because almost all Indians now believe that "Nothing good can happen to India!"
There is so much to debate upon, but i am leaving here. Let people think themselves where we are reached and where we are leading... and where we end.
Its not a good idea to copy paste another one's article..I have read it in yesterdays newspaper.
And if you quote them then please provide the reference..
Secondly, yes British developed India, but only for their purpose, only those industries were developed which complemented British industries.
and the ridiculous laws you are talking about is a gift of British, they only bought out the communal vote.
Yes our country have problems, many others have. And if you wish to compare, compare it with Latin American history, and Chinese history (alas if you can get anything on China).
And for your information. Sati was banned by Brits or East India Company but the movement was led by Raja Ram Mohan Roy..
May be its high time to get your history right.
A Little knowledge is dangerous thing.
They developed India.. what i want to say.. we failed to develop our own India for our own purpose.
And we have wrote our own constitution.
Raja Ram Mohan Roy is supported by a BRIT. I forgot his name though.
Why should I compare history of few countries and be happy.. why i don't see the better countries..
Agreed. I don't have as much knowledge as you have.. but have enough. :P
