"Happy Republic Day folks". I would like share a video which i found on Facebook this morning .Today marks the day in Indian history when we threw off " Government Of India Act 1935 " of dominion states. 26th January 1950 , was the date when new Constitution of Independent India came into effect . Credit goes to Constitution Drafting Committee headed by B.R Ambedkar .
15th August , 1947, India Got Independence and on this auspicious day Constitution came into effect to maintain Independence and to real cast all the dreams that our freedom fighters have visioned. Every Step was taken to safeguard national interest and its security . Judiciary system was made independent of Executive and legislature in order to make sure justice will never be denied as was common phenomenon during British Rule. Reservation policy was temporarily introduced in order have equality when it comes to jobs, education etc.
Sixty Five years after independence and sixty two years of being republic , Are we in a position to say - "We are a true republic democratic nation" ??? I Say - " Yes and No ".
Why "YES" ? Often people compare India with countries like America , European Nation and compare advancement . I agree , today these countries are advanced in technology, Monetary , Peace , standard of living of average people . But.. We started development from almost zero since 1947 , means 65 years of development of second most populated country . And ,Yes we had came across pretty well comparing to years and decades of development in mentioned countries . British colony almost ruined India and to get back from that state is itself a great achievement . When world was being westernized , India maintained it society and culture somewhere or other irrespective of many Indians going & living in other countries. This is itself a great achievement.
Why "NO" ? Time and again some of our brother had mocked upon Judiciary system of India . Justice has been manipulated and delayed . Whether Jessica, Arrushi and Satyendra dubey everyone had suffered the same. Rich is getting richer and poor getting poorer . Government give subsidies on GAS , Petrol , etc equally to people who earn 1 lakh and people who earn 1000 . Reservation on basis of caste system was added to constitution for certain incubation period , but now icky politics make it an national issue. Till now, Education system is not strong enough to cater the literary needs of poor people .
"I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we've struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We've made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions". - Barack Obama
I hardly came across this kind of remark from any India Politicians . Every Citizen of nation especially our politicians , bureaucratic personnel , high profile industrialist who can make a difference in making India a True Republic Democratic nation should know the Preamble of Indian Constitution.
Preamble of Our Constitution-
| WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a [SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC] and to secure to all its citizens: JUSTICE, social, economic and political; LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship; EQUALITY of status and of opportunity; and to promote among them all FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the [unity and integrity of the Nation]; IN OUR CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY this twenty-sixth day of November, 1949, do HEREBY ADOPT, ENACT AND GIVE TO OURSELVES THIS CONSTITUTION. - Jai Hind |
