Remembering The 'Tricolour'
Feeling of patriotism often comes out on 2 days, 15 Aug & 26 Jan and of course when cricket match is going on , on these 2 days we are highly enthusiastic ,patriotic songs seems to be more melodious than the regular one. I was in the dilemma for choosing the subject for my ‘Blog’ , but 15th Aug was on its way so I had chosen the same because "Watan ke aage kuch nahi".
Post World war II ,
world was divided in 2 groups Communism & Capitalist ( mainly USA &
Soviet Union ). Even the so called ‘Powerful’ countries had to
choose the either side. It was difficult to stand alone in this race . Many
western countries had interfered in the internal issues of independent India
for their benefits .Within 25 years we had fought 4 Wars , 3 against Pak
& one against China .1971 war gave birth to Bangladesh , where India
entered in to save the humanity .Pak surrendered to India which is
our the greatest military success. In 70’s India faced many internal
challenges as Internal politics was on its peak. Emergency was ‘The
Darkest hour’ in the Democracy, Operation ‘Blue Star’ in 1984 and subsequent
events pushed us to more instability
90’s brought the new
light in the dark Indian economy with many reforms .In those days we
successfully conducted nuclear test and India was now also a Nuclear
Power . despite of many restrictions imposed by USA India invented 'PARAM 8000'
– The first ever Indian Supercomputer . Trees of economic reforms planted in
90’s was fruitful in the new millennium where many Multinationals entered in
the Indian market , Economy was moving in full swing . India’s
external relations grew as India’s reputation in the world is better
than that of who ruled us.
Today you choose any
field say Science & Technology , sports , business , education , art &
music etc. you will see India & Indians are ruling
their respective fields. ‘ISRO’ has earned more respect than any
other space research organizations. Indian military forces are always ready to
fight for every inches . Technicians are ruling in the US IT
companies. ‘Ayurveda’ is being taught as the basics of Medical science . Many
Indian MNC’s are capturing the foreign markets.
Many people compare
India with japan , Germany . for the infrastructural development but
just look at their size & population . Still after being exploited for 150+
years, today we are the 6th largest Economy and expecting to be
on the 3rd rank in the next decade. Our judiciary system and
election process is considered as the most transparent and
ideal. World see India as the fountain of wisdom , and origin of
many principles like 'Ahimsa' , 'Satyam shivam Sundaram ', 'Athiti devo bhava'
. Our constitution lay principles of socialism , secularism and
Sovereignty . I think no country in the world has such freedom of speech ,
religion , business , resident that’s why we criticize the others and label it
as freedom by the constitution , but we must also keep in mind of certain
duties such as voting, environment protection etc. which doesn’t
show the tangible effects but help in the nation building.
It is not not the
mountains , seas , oceans , states make the country but people like U and me
make the pillars of the country more strong , for country of having
such History, 74 is just a small number. We have miles to go & to achieve
Dr.Abdul kalam’s ,’Dream India’.
concluding with Shayari
( poet unknown) –
बस ये बात हवाओं को बताये रखना,
रौशनी होगी चिरागों को जलाये रखना,
लहू देकर जिसकी हिफाज़त की शहीदों ने,
उस तिरंगे को सदा दिल में बसाये रखना II
