By- Sphurti Sawant
If there is one place on earth where all the dreams of living men will be found a home from the earliest days when man began dream of existence, it is India! – Albert Einstein.
We all Indians are going to celebrate 70th Independence Day on 2016, 15thAugust. People across India are reminded of the meaning of this event - which it marked the start of a new era of deliverance from the British colonialism that took place in India for more than 200 years, paying homage to the leaders and those who fought for freedom. But can we call it real Independence now in 20th century? With social issues rising from corruption, terrorism, Gender inequality to unemployment, etc when we would be getting independent from them? Are we all striving to do the same??
In year 1947, from literate to illiterate, Poor to rich, able to disable had fought to their fullest to see the free India, to breathe air in Free India, to make their future in Free India. Along the year, we have lost the unison; endure to see more development as a troop. Rich are getting richer and poor are getting poorer.
Eligible students are lacking behind of higher education due to reservation system. Education has started off as one of the richest business now days. We would find very rarely ideal belief in education alive, which were the basic principles of the legends like Mahatma Gandhi, Tilak, Mahatma Phule and many more. To eradicate any social issues of our country Proper Education is must. With educational improvement economic push is well guessed!
Poverty is making India more sensitive on world platform. People are not getting fulfilled with the basic needs. No food, No Clothes to wear, no shelter, no education will ultimately result in degradation of India’s progress. Government should work towards increasing job opportunities, this will decrease unemployment. Government should look after the charity, trusts that help poor people to retain the basic life need.
Narrow mindset of society towards women, is hampering the image of India. Because of this problem of female foeticide has been intensified. Dowry system leads to negative influence on the minds of people leading to prefer boy child than girl child. Gender inequality at work leads female worker mind shrink and deprived. Empowerment of women is necessary. Role model for business will help women around to know their importance.
Religious conflict is major harmful issue now days. Different religion, difference in beliefs, lack in education and poor upbringing are main reasons for religious fanaticism leading to society disharmony, wars, disruption, crimes, etc. religious conflicts can be handed by us only. By proper knowledge and develop better understanding. By removing thoughts of cruelty one can think properly what is wrong and what is right. Awareness about the same should be carried out.
True independence is when every Indian feel secure in country with basic rights, with basic needs fulfilled. Till then the tussle of the independence will go on. Education is solution for all social issues in India. Proper Education system, no discrimination for education, will lead to much more strong and happy independent India. Every Indian should contribute to make India independent stronger; that India is the place on earth where everyone’s dream is fulfilled. Lets Prove Einstein right again!
Happy 70th Independence day to all my fellow Indians!
Proud Indian
