I agree with you that independence h...Hello Sana:)<br /><br />I agree with you that independence has a lot of responsibility attached to it.<br /><br />Yes, we got independence from foreign rule but we are misusing it in every possible way.Probably this is because we are new to independence and unlike US or Britain our democracy is new.<br /><br />We have freedom to spit on the road, we have freedom to throw waste on the road and other public places,we have freedom to block highways for hours because we want to redress some grievance, we can hold political meetings in public places and thus obstruct traffic, we can take out political processions on busy main roads and and create traffic jams,we can damage public property in the name of strikes,bandhs and hartals.Well we exercise freedom without least responsibility. Our Common Wealth games is already under a cloud on account of corruption and misuse of government funds.<br /><br />I suppose we will take a long time to understand the meaning of freedom.We have been living under foreign rule for centuries first under Muslims and then under the British. Therefore our new found freedom gives us the freedom to vandalize public propery,accept bribes,indulge in corruption and throw chairs and mikes at each other in Parliament.I don't think I have exhausted the list at all.<br /><br />Your post is very thought provoking and each one of us have to examine our conscience and see for ourselves how we are respecting our freedom and how responsible we are as free citizens of the largest democracy in world.<br /><br />This makes me wonder at this juncture whether we deserve freedom and whether India is succeeding as a democratic country in world.<br /><br />I really don't know the answer.<br /><br />Best wishes Sana:)<br />JosephJoseph Pulikotilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074346261093541776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2122271937706951870.post-6323472029345184762010-08-20T09:58:51.888-07:002010-08-20T09:58:51.888-07:00This is a wonderful post, very well put.
