shattered dream

The freedom fighters and the members of the constituent assembly of India might have visualized a vibrant, progressive and accountable democratic nation, because the object of freedom struggle was not to get only political freedom of the country but to shape her in such way that India stands with pride in the comity of nations. The declaration of the constitution of India in the preamble of the constitution is the reflection of the dreams which might have been seen during the freedom struggle by the founding fathers of the constitution.
The speech of pt. Nehru ‘Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge,’ indicates us towards the vision and the objectives of the freedom struggle. Whether India has translated the dreams of our founding fathers into reality or has it forgotten those dreams and taken other path?
The sixty years journey after the independence of India has certainly achieved some economic prosperity but it has lost basic values and culture which India is known since ancient ages.
The main pillars of the system namely, executive, legislature and judiciary have failed to come up to the expectation of the people. The executive is unaccountable, corrupt and paralytic. The legislatures are irresponsible, senseless and corrupt. The judiciary is aristocratic and the justice is too onerous, dilatory and costly. The media is glamorous, irresponsible and money minting. India has achieved highest rank in corruption, poverty, illiteracy, and malnutrition and population growth in the world. It has lost simplicity, honesty, austerity, sacrifice and moral values. There are constant onslaught on the culture of India through the various channels.
The leaders have no vision and they are indulged in money making and philandering. The raucous session of parliament and assemblies is indicative of the seriousness of the Indian leaders. The press is just after money making. It is not less corrupt that the politicians. Some journalists have become millionaire by taking shares in the booty of politicians and bureaucrats. The dream of Subhas Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Chandra shekhar Azad, Lal, Bal and Pal is shattered.
Though India got political freedom but the dreams of our innumerable patriots who have shed their blood for this country is yet to be fulfilled. The dignity of every Indian is yet to be achieved. An egalitarian, just and equitable social, political and economic order was the object of revolutionary leaders like Bhagat Singh and Chandra Shekhar Azad. The pirates and plunderer politician are creating hatred among the Indians in the name of caste, region and religion in order to obstruct revolution.
