Happy Republic Day


 Share

Recommended Posts

This Republic day, instead of wishing people let's give them a reminder.

 

A reminder of how far we've come-

From 565 princely states to 29 states

India is the 7th largest country in the World, the only to house all 8 major religions of the world.

India is the largest democracy in the World.

India has the 4th strongest armed force in the world. (A glimpse of which many of may have caught today)

The Indian Constitution is one of the longest such written documents.

The Indian economy is one of the fastest growing in the world.

 

And a reminder of how far we have yet to go-

3/4 of the population is poor

Half of the children are malnourished

Tax evasion is a norm in the upper and upper middles classes of society, corruption a norm in the government and bureaucracy.

The girl child is still considered a burden, practices like dowry run rampant

And the generation that is supposed to be the harbinger of change takes no interest in the nation's affairs, much less is willing to get involved.

 

The educated liberal elite live in a bubble, let's send them a reminder so that next time they buy a flag (probably 15th of August now) they keep in mind the others who share the flag with them.
