INDIA OF MY DREAMS
INDIA OF MY DREAMS
Being from the sports background, I always wished my country to be the champions in sports in different disciplines may be Cricket, Hockey etc etc. My wishes were limited to sports but never thought of imagining India of my Dream in a vast context till the said topic was given for assignment.
While going through the sources, I happen to read Dr. Abdul Kalam’s question to one little girl, what was her dream for India? She replied “I dream of a developed India”. Giving a thought to what she said, I learned that her answer may be short but her dream was very big. Now it was a time for me to think of the same issue...that’s India of my dream. This is a topic, which is as deep like an ocean which has dangerous Sharks as well as the beautiful pearls. There is so much to dream about India; so much to cherish, so much to wish for, so much to hate and so much to desire about it. The real problem is what to write down and what to omit.
Before going towards the future, I thought to just turn aback n have a look at the India in past. India has long sad history of our existence as a country under the ruling of Mugals, Nizams and the most awful, the British. After the huge exploitation of our motherland by these emperors, India attained independence on August 15, 1947. What has she achieved during Sixty Five plus… years of freedom? Though there has been considerable progress, the overall picture of life in the country is depressing. What with spiraling prices and growing unemployment, the common man remains as poor as he had been. Though education has spread, its standard and quality have received a set - back.
Not is the political scene very encouraging. While the working of democracy is not satisfactory, the forces of religion, these Nakshalwad has become a a threat to the unity of the country. Our leaders lack the qualities of idealism, integrity and self - sacrifice, which were abundantly in evidence during the days of the struggle for freedom.
