It was not people's need, it was politician's greed that saw India being partitioned on the basis of religion that fell pray to politician's ambitions. No prayers thereafter could halt one of the world's gruesome genocide that consumed people not politicians. If this nation had not succumbed to politician's lust, perhaps today our neighborhood would not have turned into a breeding ground for ' terrorism' .Perhaps then this nation would have had almost a 'no war' record post the British Raj. More importantly perhaps Kashmir would have continued to remain our divine state and not have become a devastated matter of discord. It would be more appropriate to mark 15th of August as the day when this country decided to wash away people's desire and succumb to political greed. What happened then in 1947 was, beginning of the History of the Nation that was axed and hacked for political convenience. This nation today at her 67th year of partition remains consumed by communalism, Qutaism ,Regionalism besides the omnipresence of Scams and Corruption speak loud about this world'd largest democracy that we call India,Bharat,Hindustan
Our Democracy talk of people's power but never have addressed people's need .It showcases liberty but refuses to address failures.It promises secularism but unleashes communal ism. It huddles with majority but speaks for minority. Democracy in this country has simply become the brand ambassador for "Dynastiscism" In this country it is the lineage of birth and family that creates Political Leadership, not courage vision and ability.
I don't believe that India at 67 is too young to not realize that she stands politically crippled, morally marooned and economically devastated .But being an Indian "Heart and Soul", perhaps like rest of India I also believe to stand by the statement that says.. "No matter what we are going through,there is a light at the end of the tunnel for my country ,my India". Any change in National leadership may perhaps consider in keeping the well being of 1.241 billion Indians as the first priority of the govt.. Let us hope 2014 will find us making this "perhaps'' a "possibility"!
