We celebrated our 69th Independence day on 15th of August, 2015. This is a fact. A fact almost everyone knows.
But, how much of is it true if you look into the true state of our country? This a question. A question one must ask oneself.
Our primary motive ever since we were ruled by the British was to achieve Independence, in its true form. Are we really Independent or is it just a state of mind we live in which is portrayed by social media and other factors contributing to such a debauchery?
The very first time, the citizens of this country voted for a democratic election was in 1951. Some might argue that we were independent before that but how would you know? You were not there! Numerous princely states ruled our country and from times immemorial it has been plundered and looted. There must be rebellions over time and when they were victorious, they might have believed that they were free or Independent, in its true sense. Only for their children to realize hundreds of years later, that it is all an illusion.
Even though you live in a country which is supposedly a Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic and Republic nation, are we FREE?
We vote our representatives to guide us on the right path. Each of the said representatives have different ideologies about our vast country. But how would you know their ideologies? How can you be so sure they are not lying in their speeches? What if deep down they just want to get rich and enjoy the helm of power at their hands? You DO NOT. You CANNOT.
Compare yourself with Money for a moment. Is Money free?
Well, try this at home. Ask your 10 rupee note whether it is Independent, it would just stare right back at you, probably flutter away not giving a shit flying in the wind in all its prowess considering itself free as a bird. But you of all people know, that piece of cotton* is your property, and is not free. You own that note. You own everything on it, everything about it. Even though that helpless 10 rupee note could be under the immaculate illusion that it is Independent in its own true sense. But you know, it is a mere illusion of Independence.
Now, ask yourself this. Are you really Independent? Or is something giving you the illusion of your freedom? Is it the government which is at fault? Is it religion? Is it the Lord Almighty?
Whatever be the reason, know this -- "Human beings governed by a set of human beings can never be Independent in the true sense."
I am sure most of you reading this would have watched Vidhan Sabha proceedings on your television sets. Have you ever wondered whether they are true patriots of our beloved nation? Or just a bunch of businessmen trying to get the highest quote on their end? Are we not just Money for them, rich ones bearing higher denominations and the poor "janta" bearing lower denominations? When you see opposite parties throwing allegations on each other which is not really necessary, do you ever wonder? Why do they be-little the other party? If the primary motive of all parties in India was to make India a superpower, why is it not already after 69 YEARS! Is it just the hunger of mind boggling power that makes parties go crazy over seats or is it true patriotism? If it was indeed true patriotism, irrespective of whichever party comes into power, why don't other parties work hand in hand giving suggestions or better yet culminating into one party that truly looks after "peace in our time"**. Why is it that the Prime Minister of our country is throwing allegations at other ministers in an open speech instead of trying to help them? Why is it that the alleged ministers are mimicking the Prime Minister of our nation just because of a mockery? Who holds the upper hand? Who is superior? I say, NOBODY.
Why should other Human beings hold a superior power over us if all are considered equals? Why should some Human govern us when it is just another mere Human!
If a 10 rupee note would be governed by another 100 rupee note, it would be infuriated! Even though 100 is a higher denomination, who gives it the right to rule over other notes. Hell, the 10 rupee note would go on strikes, burn banks for all we know. But it is not, because Humans are ruling money. WE are superior.
To Conclude with, Humans could never govern control over humans to be truly Independent. We need a superior power. What this superior power would be, only time could tell. (The movie, Transcendence might give you some hint also.)
*-Yes, Indian rupee notes are made out of cotton.
**-That was a quote by Iron Man in the second setting of Avengers (Age of Ultron) -- Amazing movie, again.

No, just in case if you are curious, I am not affiliated with any political party.
Also, there are many events that are bothering our nation and I have mentioned only some in this blog post. I know some pretty foolish events and would love to hear some more. Feel free to drop in comments. :)
