Our freedom fighters restored India to Indians, today who will restore Indians to India?

13th July 2011, would  have been the last day in many lives in Mumbai. Some might have lost their breaths, some might have lost their breath, some lost the reason to breathe.  All that happened in Mumbai is not a terrorist attack. It is an incarnation of our ignorance. I believe there would be many such articles, notes, or blogs that might have come from common man like me. But what to do, we keep murmiring about our troubles in comforts of our offices or homes.

Yes, it is true that for a moment my heart skipped a beat, when I heard about the blast. And that was enough for me to realize that how vulnerable we are to death. Mumbai  was up on its feet in no time. But that is not a good reason for the government to do nothing about it. But we all know that government would do nothing, and accept that as infallible truth. But I am dead sure, nothing will change in this country.

Even this date, we know who will win the elections long before the results are declared depending how much money has been rigged in the campaign. Who forms the government, is purely in the hands of the useless politicians, not the common man at all. Have this anytime crossed your mind? For many this would be a realization. So again the sorry state of affairs.

There are many who say that we are having young dynamic leaders, but have you realized they are all heirs to political dynasties of India. We are being fooled all the while and we get fooled. I am not concerned of what is happens, what happened and what will happen in this country. And true enough, if I go to do it, who will feed my family.

So where are we, I will shout today, shout tomorrow and shout the day-after. What about after that? The ground reality always remains. We are in India and we are Indians. Something I should be proud of, but the inverse is happening.
Many who read this will agree to my words. I am not pessimist but  I chose to be realistic. There is no possibility of creating a nation-wide agitation to press our demands. And Oh, Yes: If you are going to cite me the example of Anna Hazare, then please we can all see  the drama that is enacted everyday on TV.  Things will come back to square one in no time.

When I was in college, I had coined a woderful phrase, which I want to use it here again. It was about our freedom struggle  "Our freedom fighters restored India to Indians, today we need each one of us to restore Indians to India" Jai Hind.
