Do we understand....what freedom..is.....when for us freedom is a gift which we have received from our ancestors...something as a right...do....we..understand.......what it is to be not to be dependant...and treated as slaves......do we really...understand...the sacrifice of our ancestors...... when we utter the words "I dont care"....I really somethings think what would have happened had Gandhi said I dont care....what would have happened...if Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru had said I dont care and gone on with his practice........what if Bhagat Singh had said I dont care about Jawalianah Bagh.....Subhas Chandra Bose had said I dont care".... and gone of to do his civil service job..like hundreds of young not independent persons belonging to India.....said I dont care".... what would have happened.....i sometimes force....myself to think........what do we understand of independence when on a cosmopolitan city like Mumbai the voting is less than 50% while in the so calledm naxalite areas.....voting..exceeds.....80%...do we really..understand...what... independence...is
Speaking of Independence.........lets..for this time.celebrate .... independence day as a day ......to understand...why..people..are..taking..up..arms.........why you`g...Kashmir...is ..angry...lets..listen to them once...why..naxalism....has...become the greatest threat......why..........
Lets .start a new...beginning...lets enjoy not the songs but .........people......of India.......by listening to them.......lets teach...our youngsters........what is independence and that is is not a gift but a duty and responsibility for us ........lets celebrate.... Independence each and every moment ....we...live.......lets remember of the innumerable sacrifices....lets enjoy...each and every moment when we savoured as a nation...and lets take all together in this enjoyment....lets remember...of our ancestors for innumerable fought...lets understand that this independence which we use is not a gift but something....which is our duty...as history has nasty...habit..of repeating itself...lets start respecting people...by.. listening to them ....giving them recognition......the most human basic right..
