INDI ‘B’ENDANCE
DAYS …….
Come another
Independence Day. I do not know if there is much to go gung ho about the
arrival. Far from it, probably.

Much water has
flown under the bridge since that historic mid night saga, 67 years ago. But
don’t you think we simply refuse to budge out of square one? At least that is
what the impression one gets seeing the utterances of some of the politicians -
‘secularism’, pseudo secularism, majorities, minorities, hidutwa, minority
appeasement, majority neglect, my god! People are trying to bend these outbursts or happenings around, to suit their convenience, if you look at the
debates in most of the TV channels. Suddenly, we are waking up on the issues of
communalism, violence, sampradayikta (hit the link below to know what the
word means), etc

And this happens
every time the elections are round the corner. People unnecessarily waste their
time and energy to analyse what some one remarks. The same people maintain
a stoic silence when innocent people are crushed by terrorist elements, public
properties damaged, people are forcefully converted. Because you do not want to
alienate some particular section in the population - you don't want to lose
votes.

We are in the 67th year of
breaking the shackles of British Raj. We claim to enjoy life in
free, independent India. Today, I have this uncomfortable feeling
that we stand exactly where we started. Very unfortunate. We are fit to be only
watching those stupid sitcoms on TV channels, and shed tears....... People had
some faint hope on Anna and his men. But the team first disintegrated to a new
set up, and today, AAP seems to go through the inevitable process of
disintegrating itself....
Though we say we are Indians first and all such lofty talks, in the heart of hearts, we are hindus, muslims, christians, sikhs, punjabis, gujratis, mallus, bengalis - every thing but indians.
