I love my India

-:VB:-

Great Nations are built on the foundation of lot of hardships and the blood of our forefathers.

Indians are very well aware of their freedom and how it was earned. A sheer display of courage and pride for their country which was attempted to be choked by the invaders. Leaders and individuals alike fought  for their motherland in a struggle that lasted for years.

History experienced heroes, rebels, fighters and legends, who inspired souls with their determination, love for their country, their quest for peace, and above all the hope to bring a country to it's free state - free from slavery.

All this sacrifice and tolerance not for themselves, not for their families, but all for the sake of their countrymen, their country. This was no selfish deed, it was the calling of the true human spirit!

Years have passed since that time, 66 years! These years, the country witnessed enormous changes, right form the freedom of the country to the partition of Hindustan to India, Pakistan and Bangladesh; the wars and the fights that followed these partitions; the formation of the constitution of India; world recognition; advancement in science and technology; mastery in all fields of sports and games.....

But, above all, the best change would be the impression as an Indian, an individual of the country on the world map - which was the most magnificent.

Reading about history is one thing and living it is a pride in itself. I may not have witnessed freedom, but I am very proud to be an Indian, to be have born and brought in a country which is literally a genetic pool of individuals of various multiple innumerable religions, ethnicities, languages and cultures from various times, having their own individual history, Gods, prophets and dieties - which all merge together to give my country it's beauty!

God knows in how many languages are the newspapers, magazines, television shows, etc. printed or created on a daily basis in a country where thousands of languages are spoken, and is home to the 2rd largest population, 3rd largest armed forces, nuclear capability, space exploration ability, genetics research, etc.

Every other doctor or scientist in any other country is an Indian. Every other Owner or CEO of a company is and Indian. Indians are even amongst the richest people in the world. Home to nobel winners, reknowned scientists, knights, laureates, writers and poets. India - a country with cultures and traditions older than those anywhere else in the world, with religious texts older than even before the origin of most of the cultures and the countries.

Indian food and wildlife deserve a special mention - as they are the most beloved around the world! Indian food is perhaps the most cherished globally!
Within a short span of 66 years India has surely come a long way and is at par with the the leading countries of the world which have developed for centuries, and in most cases perhaps even better than them.

I can only say, the words for appreciating and thanking my country may end, I'm afraid they would not be enough at all to describe what it has done for all of us!

I just had this sudden urge to thank my country. Maybe this isn't even near to what I feel, and may even be quite abrupt, but I just had to put this down...

The Aam Aadmi Party won in Delhi!

-:VB:-

Wow! This is so unbelievable! AAP has won in Delhi?!

 Wait... Am I hearing this correctly? Really?

So, one person creates a political party, registers, stands for elections and Wins? That too in a year?
This is just like a movie script isn't it? Whoa...

AAP had a 'Clean Sweep'... LOL! Boy, did Congress lose badly... only 8 seats! But still, to come out at the top with BJP - THAT was unexpected. They won 28 seats in the 70-member House.

If they fall back, they will have lost everything for nothing. I think it is a good decision to form a government taking outside support from Congress, since BJP declined. Had BJP said yes to this it would hae been a win-win situation for them. But hey! Politics is Politics!

I'm not in the support of any political party as of now, as all of this pretty complicated. Who knows what will transpire at the very last moment of the Lok Sabha elections? Nevertheless, the good news is that Kejriwal will be the new CM of Delhi after 3 continuous wins & reigns by Sheila Dikshit.

Kejriwal's rules and policies have also sent shivers down the spines of  those who wanted to join AAP for fun. There may be a lot more on it's way from the AAP from the looks of it. What happens, only time will tell...

India and Politics

-:VB:-

India has developed beautifully in it's 66 years of freedom. It is at the peak today, competing with the very few leading nations of the world.

India is a democratic country, and Political parties play a major role in the development of the country. Thre are various political parties and allies with their agendas and all that, but what matters the most is their dedication towards their country. After independence, when the Constitution of India was drafted, it was well known to be the best constitution in the world. The beginning of elections, voting, formation of parties referred to the progress of India!

Today - everything has changed! Aims and agendas have turned into consumption of national wealth. The parliament has turned into a constitution of illiterate and dishonest individuals from the well educated and thoughtful people that it once had. Politics has turned into a circus, a blame game! It no longer has the sort of aura that once attracted the people towards it, instead it has turned into deep dark murky waters that have consumed the prosperity of India.

Politics is not a curse... It has just been damaged by the known or unknown actions of few individuals, and not the entire constitution as a whole.

Today some politicians have taken taken everything for granted. Even the cops and the law cannot harm them as they work in a manner that is not justified. Every other day, we are treated to the news that make us think twice about the fate of our country. Some politician was caught in a scam, or in a sex racket, or on the count of duping, or cricket match fixing, or due to ties with the underworld and mafia, or tax evasion, or laundering large amounts money, or in possession of unaccounted wealth, etc. and what not. Some examples would be the 3G scam, the Coal-gate case, etc. and many many others.

This is also a very important catalyst for giving rise to corruption, which is a very serious matter today that has affected almost every individual. If cops act against them, they are transferred, or their careers destroyed, or they are warned to shut up, or any other scenario that is used by any average goon. The lawyers cannot hold on to the truth as they face a similar fate. If all that is not enough, gangsters and thugs
are allowed to stand in elections.

It is not that politics is dirty, it is what we are doing to keep it clean! Don't simply believe every word that is mentioned in their speeches. All politicians are not the same as many of you may agree, it is within the power of the people to search for such individuals and elect them. Identify those who would give their lives for their countries.

I hope one day the country will be restored to it's originality....
