Why not

At the stroke of Midnight 1947 when the world slept free India awoke to sign its tryst with destiny, to fulfill its promise, A promise of freedom of self, faith and a promise of equality in all spheres. I am lucky to have been born in a India with such wonderful aspirations. Yes I was born in independent India but do I live in a free India? Are we playing mute spectators while the politicians hold the future of the nation to ransom. This question hasn’t stopped bothering me ever since I understood the Abc’s of political science. The dreamers of a free India would be turning in their graves at the plight of today’s politics and antics of political leaders. At times it seems that the politicians are raking up the communal cause to hide their in efficiency. Take this political aspirant for instance since he has nothing fresh or innovative to offer to the voter he is trying to awaken the maratha manoos. I wonder if he seldom stops to think where would be the sprit of Mumbai if Amitabh Bachans Or the Mukesh Ambanis or the Tatas decide to make their homes elsewhere. The most important point he misses is that when Mumbai was fighting back the terrorists we were all Indians Shoulder to Shoulder no just the Maratha Manoos Which is why I guess he was conspicuous with his absence. What with a Cabinet minister entrusted with the honourable task of reaching education to the grassroots does his job by opening up the Pandora’s box of reservations just to save his eviction from the cabinet.
What India needs today are leaders who rise above the cliché of regional issues and take up causes of environmental protection, Global positioning of India, uplifting the agriculture sector and the likes. This is an appeal to all politicians to rise above their trivial sectorisation and take India to the Heights the world is expecting us to soar.
