India!!!

So India did come a long way hasn’t she? We have in some aspects but that is not enough. Well after 50 years of freedom, where do we stand in our own views? How the hell is this country still running with so many problems? Many questions can be asked but not that much time to answer them here. India has problems in everywhere involving mostly everyone. How did these things start and what sorts of problems are plaguing us?

Well it would be easier to put down these in points, random points, and my own thoughts in my own language. Will be more neatly written in the near future I guess. Most of it will never matter to you but it really does.

Why is this happening? Why do the people behave like this? What is the matter with us all? The whole country is in a fiasco. Well I am not getting sentimental or something but that is the case, the fact. Terrorism, corruption, poverty, crime, illiteracy are some of the basic ingredients that makes us so unique. In addition, the cherry on top, bandit & illiterate politicians, bad roads, water and electricity; which are the most important factors in a developing nation are very scarce. People are suffering because of high taxes and inflation. Inequality is prevailing. In the country that was supposed to be, secular, constant differences because of religions take place. In this ‘secular’ country 50%, reservation is given to a certain religion in a certain University. Moreover, if the people of the ‘other’ (not so favored religion in India you can say; still most people belong to it; the oldest one in the world) religion stand against it, they are ridiculed and are termed as hardliners. What do you think?

Before and during the time of Independence, India was virtually ruled by an old bald, stubborn bloke Gandhi, Nehru and some like-minded people and later into the present by the Nehru-Gandhi and presently a woman is trying really hard to just keep up the name so that the family and the forthcoming generations can be demigods in the future. They did everything for power, for themselves and not for the country or for the people just pretending that they did everything for the people. The ruling government even takes credit for the things that were eventually bound to come about. For example, they have taken credit for bringing computers to India, better methods of agriculture, etc. In India, the bloody politicians are blindly followed irrespective of their negative exploits. Leaders or thinkers like Bose and Savarkar were termed as terrorists and the present leaders, what are they? They do nothing, rob people of their well-earned money, etc. still they are termed clean and are not even reprimanded. The Media will print an article about a security guard working on nominal pay sleeping on duty but will not print anything worthwhile on the swindles and stuff and these people (politicians involved). So much for fair, just journalism.

Well I think India is being carved hollow constantly by these anti-national elements and no one is doing about it. Every one says but no one does. People have the ‘Chaltaa hai’, ‘Jaane do’ (Better understood in Hindi) attitude which will never help and which is prevalent in our country.

Please comment if you want otherwise 'Jaane do'.More later...
