We
celebrate our Independence day on 15th August in 2016 with a lot of
joy and happiness in the air as well as in each of our eyes and
hearts. It's our 70th Independence day since 1947. It is a great
feeling to be a citizen of an Independent republic.
It's 70 years now already. India was very poor and unorganized. India faced tough hurdles to come to where it is now. There were many internal struggles for unity in diversity, peace. There were many hits by selfish people from inside. There were many invasions on the land on the borders, during which we lost a lot of land. There were a lot of regional, caste, language and religious barriers for progress. A lot of good things happened and bad things too along with them. Now people of India are more educated and knowledgeable and are probably on a progress path that the freedom fighters had hoped for.
In the seventy years there has been progress on many accounts. Now Indians are on the world map. Many Indians have earned a name for themselves and for India. However, there are other countries which have progressed far better than India in the last four decades. India has not been able to gain sufficient friendship from its neighbours. Indian economy is dependent badly on the world economy. Indian borders are not safe. India is still the country of poor, illiterate, dirty and disease prone in the eyes of the developed world. In the United Nations India has many supporters but India cannot get to any important position that has some power and responsibility. India has a lot of foreign debt, export-import gap and suffers from natural calamities every year. India lags behind many smaller countries in the fields of economy, business, tourism, sports etc. In the field of space, India has done good. India has shown tolerance, perhaps a little too much, to many disturbances from outside.
