Independence Day Resurgence
Happy Independence Day,
August 15, 1947. The day when we got independence from British rule. We are going to celebrate 74th Independence Day. It has been 73 years since we are free from British rule but some bad things are holding us back.
Corruption:
This is the biggest problem in India on which everyone should focus on. To get rid of it, everyone will have to be honest. HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. Honesty brings you the joy no other thing can.
Once, I found an Aadhar card when I was on my job as a newspaper distributor. I read the name and address of the one to whom the Aadhar card belonged to. I put that in my pocket and thought of returning it as soon as possible. You can purchase fake SIM cards using someone else's Aadhar card. If I wanted, I might use it in the wrong way. I reached home and searched the address in Maps. Maps showed me the route which was too far from my home. It was on the other side of the city. I live at the end of the city, so I had to cross the whole city. I rode my bicycle to the address and found the home of the owner of the Aadhar card. When I hand over the Aadhar card to the old lady, she said "You will be blessed, my child." Today, when I remember those words, I feel joy and pride.
I cited the whole incidence because I wanted to give an example of honesty. Now, corruption is a major problem because most Indians are not honest. You will be angry with me, but that's the fact. You will be angry because you're not an honest person. If you're honest, then there is no reason for being angry with me. Honesty will definitely come from education but there is one more thing that can develop an honest person. That is sacrament and culture from parents. Parents shouldn't teach their children to bribe anyone.
Corruption is a problem because of the mentality of most citizens. They believe that without bribe their work won't be done and they should give some bribe. Starting from ministers to government officials like police officers, most are involved in bribe. Not all policemen are greedy for a bribe. Some are honest too. But most policemen are involved in bribe. In India, you can be free after committing a crime by giving acquaintance of any minister. That's where our country gets beaten up. We all should try to make our country corruption-free. To do that, just do a thing. "BE HONEST."
Poverty:
Poverty is another problem that we have to deal with. Many people are living under the poverty line, who don't have food and shelter. They are not even facilitated by water. In addition to that, they don't get enough education and they miss the opportunity to alleviate their poverty. So, the solution to this problem is again Education. The education should be available to these types of people who are living on daily wages and should be on regular basis. Now, the government has some rules that no children should be used as workers and all have the right to attend school.
I think this will improve the situation and might remove poverty. It won't remove the poverty entirely. The remaining poverty should be removed by us by helping those who are living under the poverty line. For this, everyone has to work at ground level. Those who can help the middle class should help them. The middle class should help those who are poor. By forming a chain, we can get rid of poverty. Because the problem is, the rich are getting richer and poors becoming poorer day by day.
Woman safety:
The woman safety level is too low here. Even children aren't safe from criminals. In Japan, six to seven years old children travel on public transport like trains on their own. On the other hand, we are afraid of sending our ladies out because of low standards of woman safety.
This problem too is overcoming slowly after the case of Nirbhaya. Women cell and police are constantly working to improve the safety of women. They are just one call away if any woman is under threat.
Eve teasing is a problem that can be overcome by punishment only. Those eve teasers should be punished hard in public. Seeing that, no one else would dare to do that.
Sanitation:
This is a major problem too. There is no sanitation in government departments too. I visited the government library yesterday. Whenever I visit the library I see the stains of Pan Masala and tobacco. No one cleans it and I am watching those stains over the past few years. I watch the garbage outside the dustbin. I asked a man who was throwing garbage in the dustbin from a distance. I asked, "Why do you throw it from such distance, it's dispersing all outside the dustbin." He replied, "Dustbin smells bad." I said The End.
The government had initiated a really nice initiative called "Swachch Bharat Mission." This indeed made a difference. Inherent of this mission many places are now cleaned and just because of those who actively participated in it.
The solution to this that you have to clean yourself and your surroundings. Everyone has to clean up themselves. Charity begins at home. Clean yourself and your surroundings which will make everyone clean. If you have a wrapper, don't throw it anywhere. Put it in your pocket and when you see a dustbin, put it in. Help the environment to be clean.
Conclusion: There are many other problems, but these are some problems that need to be work on immediately. When all these problems are over we can say that we are truly independent. We have to overcome and fight against corruption, poverty, and sanitation. Woman safety is another concern that should be taken into focus too. We have to independent ourselves from these problems and that's when we can be free.
