Indian Independence...
Before 60 years British did a grievous mistake of their life by giving India its freedom. Today we still regret the same and await patiently for their next turn. When countries like Germany, Japan shooted their economies after World Wars, India remained the same but they call it unity in Diversity(all states doing nothing unitedly). Our patriotism is only fit for Cricket matches nothing more than that.
Only advancement india has made in this 60 years is bringing Voter M/c in elections. Still cribbing about Bhaskara, Aryabhata etc. etc we people should be ashamed than being proud, there is nothing we could talk about Post-Independence scenerio(not IT..it is a alm from West to a cheaper beggar). We are still deep rooted in our politics, religion and castes which hinders our growth in evry aspect. Indians are the first to shed their Indianness when given an oppurtunity.
There is once a joke much famous.
"Why does India is always a Neutral nation whenever it comes to External affairs"
"Because it cannot even control its own internal affairs that is why"
India is a peace loving nation globally translated as Cowards of first order without any power.
Enjoy the holiday folks. This is the good thing about the independence day it didnt fall on the weekend. Mera Bharat Mahan....
