"INDIA: Today "

India is a nation of a billion people. With a quarter of it under the poverty line, And, still many enriching the list of richest persons around the globe! India is a land of festivity, celebrations! But still we have scams and blasts every next month! India- Her name is derived from the river INDUS which had one of the foremost civilizations in human mankind! INDUS VALLEY CIVILIZATION! The land of the river Indus! That's was India! Now, not a one-tenth portion of the river Indus flows within her! Has the river lost her way or do the Indians! Why have we been discriminating or cutting ourselves on the name of religion, caste, sex n creed?? Is it really India? Is it still similar to the one during the "MUGHALS" who ruled over more than a million Hindus, still being themselves Muslims! Was that period golden or is it now? Every person is equal irrespective of caste, religion and gender! That's what has been written in our Premable of the Constitution of the Republic of India! But we still have reservations everywhere! Aren't we getting biased now? Are we getting deprived of our fundamental right? India, as they said, was a golden bird .. The British thrashed her and looted her .. They drained it from our Ganges to their Thames! But isn't India still rich enough today? Almost 1 lakh crore rupees in a few temples and almost a tenth times of it in Swiss Banks! Thanks to our politicians! CORRUPTION! INDIA- Known for her splendid charm and beauty and depicted by the great artists on the silver-screen! What does it stand for now? Bollywood- It had Mughal-e-Azam, Sholay, DDLJ, Hum aapke hai kaun n many more which depicted larger than life melo-dramas and romance! What does it stand now? Delhi belly, Murder2, LSD, Shaitan n many more where they have a smooching scene every next frame! Do they still glorify our culture or is witnessing a change? India- We held a super splendid COMMONWEALTH GAMES 2010 in the capital which was praised by the whole world! Should we thank Mr. Suresh Kalmadi for giving us such an amazing festivity or for the scams that followed them ?? What does India stand now? We don't have any Mughals, Chanakya, The Guptas, the Nehrus or even The Gandhis! What does India today stand for? We have built enough temples and mosques. Let's build the nation now. Aaj ka india! Let us together make ourselves worthy for INDIA :) Let's make India- a nation of billion smiles :) :)
