All Indians,
Its again the mid-August, an august day in the history of our country, we, the present generation, salute the freedom that is given to us ! This freedom is absolute, enjoyable and as seen over the last 64 years, exploitable !
Without taking any side, either to feel proud and boast about the struggle that led to the attainment of freedom or to feel dissatisfied about the lost 60 years of independent and sovereign time, We intend to see what need to be done – Disciplined Optimism isn’t it !
At the institutional level of legislation and judiciary, let us remind of the greatest saying of the 13th century :
“To none we will sell, we will deny or delay, right or justice” – Magna Carta.
The judicial system in India should stand to support and safeguard the delivery of justice, especially to the downtrodden. Free legal aid, public interest and transparency and accountability should define judiciary. Criminal justice system has to be revamped to make the courts more approachable and trusted.
The decades long problems of Naxalism, Kashmir conflict and the resultant terrorism have been torturing the people through out the years. No singular solution or answer might solve these obnoxious issues, but going to the basic irrefutable concept of
“Peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of Justice”
might show us the way to march ahead.
The regional aspirations, diversities and the divisions have gone past state boundaries and starving the national unity and integrity. The rules on the making and unmaking of states are not drawn in chambers of law. They are lessons inferred from the unfolding pages of history and the situation on the ground including effective control. To that extent, conflicts over sovereignty and self-determination are better resolved through multilateral ism and mutual respect.
With the economic development confined only to smaller sections of the society and not able to ‘include’ the rest of India, many ‘Bharat’s have started emerging, each trying to encroach its space snatched from one another. Energy and Food had to be ‘secured’. So is work and employment. The steps taken by the government in all these seems to be directed but not qualitatively intent !
“MNREGA is restricted, PDS (distribution system for Food) is targed. Only Exploitation is Universal !”
Development has to reach the lower strata of the country. India as a nation will be built bringing together all these ‘Bharat’s into one single entity, being independent, we have the opportunity, freedom and sovereignty to secure a unified India (both geographically and socially). Commitment is what can bind and deliver.
No one should starve with empty stomachs. Every child should be able to get nutritious food, able to play and study and have a healthy childhood. Health of every individual should be protected. Environment has to be sustained.
India, a nation in the making for the last 64 years, need people with deepest commitment, honest souls that can see no difference between a rickshaw puller and a BMW owner, sincere to their heart, family and society and leaders who can influence with their high ethics and vision. I cherish to be one of them.
Let’s cherish and be ‘them’ who can see and pass on a democratic socialist secular republic India to our next generation.
At the stroke of the mid-night hour today, let us once again solemnly resolve, with more confidence and commitment than was shown by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru in his Independence night speech, to take up the cause of India and its nation-making.
Happy Independence ! Jai Hind !!
