THE HOPE CALLED SWARAJ

Freedom is for educated people who fought for it. We were slaves of the English , now we will be slaves of educated Indians- or the Pakistanis

WAS this a random rambling from a super-excited journalist writing a novel?????? We cant say for sure- and that's not the question of today. The important thing is , we got a prophecy in this line ; today to obvious to be ignored.

More than 60 years have passed, but WE are still yearning for SWARAJ. Interestingly , over the past 60 years the notions of both WE and SWARAJ have undergone a change.When my country was left by the BRITISH rulers in 1947(i will not use the conventional phrase "we became free" that is only what we were made to believe), WE meant WE, INDIANS. yes their was caste discrimination , their was religious anarchy and a whole lot of social evils of those times. BUT WE HAD HOPE!!! and we all know what was the undercurrent , the base of that hope....... that was swaraj, self rule. Where we were the masters of our affairs. where no one can do the unwarranted nose poking into our lives.

Sadly today that flame of hope is dimmed . today we are competing with all kinds of nations , newly independent, newly rich , autocracies and democracies, with varying HUMAN DEVELOPMENT Indexes(HDI). We are ahead of some of them and we feel a momentary sense of pride in this. But the truth is- we are far away from our original ideal, the real national aim of an equitable society, a just nation . And we are not lacking because we couldn't catch up to the speed of the world because of our inherent corruption and so and so(people have a lot of ready-made diagnosis); NO. THAT IS BECAUSE WE LOST TRACK. We lost our real aims , our aspirations , our ideals. WE LOST INDIA.

But as i have written ,the flame of hope has dimmed,, it is flickering under the turbulent wind of change, but it has no textinguished yet. TODAY ON 26TH JANUARY 2012, I will pray for the safety of that flickering flame , that hope. I hope INDIA will join me.
