Happy Independence Day and the road ahead.

Today the whole Nation commemorates the great sons of motherland who gave up their life in order to make us independent in our life, those who got themselves decapitated in order to salvage us from humongous and formidable problems. Today we all celebrate the 68th Independence Day of the nation in order to mark the great glory and proud we all feel over being an Indian. Today we all celebrate this great day not just for fun or to fly kites with friends but today we celebrate this great day in order to rejoice and really unravel the meaning of the coveted independence with which we have been blessed. Today the whole nation recollects the memories of old time during which our ancestors fought with tooth and nail and dashed the greatest and most powerful nation of that time in sand. Today we remember those inexplicable moments when this paradigm and exemplary nation was unleashed from the cruel fetters of the British civilization. Today we celebrate the victory of good over evil, today we feel proud to be sons of the greatest nation of the world and today we feel proud to be born in the world’s oldest and worthiest civilization, today we all really feel proud and exalted on being an Indian.


India hosts world’s second largest population concurrently having people from all the religions, castes and groups from around the world. It is just like a garland manifesting flowers of every different breed but still intact and robust. India even today believes in the custom of unity and diversity and has hardly ever flouted this great revered flagship of the nation and therefore India continues to be great. Love among people is itself a vital thing to possess but still we need some more things in order to touch the pinnacle.

Heraclitus once quoted,

“There is nothing permanent in this world except change”.

When our forefathers carved out this great nation they knew that one day we all will have to change, change not our love for each other but change to endure the hardships of this world and today the time has come when we need to change. But whenever we think of changing ourselves, a question strikes our brain, “How do we need to change”. To answer this difficult question, I would like to refer to the marvellous speech of Narendra Modi which came out of heart rather than from paper, which has indeed filled this whole nation with zeal and enthusiasm, and this speech is worth thinking about.

1.    The first and foremost thing on which Mr. Narendra Modi focussed was about equitable distribution of resources among the people of the nation. He even went on to talk about his promising plans to allocate every person of India with insurance and a bank account. This really means a lot to the whole nation. Today India is a country marred just because of the poverty that has been biting up the nation’s deserving progress and therefore today we surely need to induce a change in the whole nation in order to completely eradicate poverty and create a nation that is robust, powerful and great and therefore the saying of Mr. Narendra Modi truly hold a lot of force. A lot of people might think that Mr. Modi was just trying to build castles in the air but I believe that “Vision without action is a daydream and action without vision is a nightmare.” Mr. Modi has shown us the way and if the whole nation resolves to bring about the desired change then what can’t happen. Therefore today we all need to be united in order to create a powerful nation.

2.    The other thing he talked about is the current scenario of poverty in the nation. He started by giving his own instance. He hinted at how he himself from a tea vendor become the Prime Minister of the nation and therefore tried to infuse inspiration as well as courage in the whole of the nation and tried to ask the impoverished people of the nation to come ahead rather than blaming their own fate and try to contribute in the process of nation building.

3.    The other thing that he tried to do was to inculcate zeal in the hearts of the bureaucrats. Today problems like corruption exist mainly due to tainted bureaucracy therefore leading to huge shedding out of nation’s money. Due to latent state of previous governments in the upliftment of the bureaucracy, while it’s a true fact that nation can’t revamp itself sans a good, untainted and worthy bureaucracy and Mr. Modi just struck the right chords by trying to think about this important functioning body the nation. Hence we believe that changes need to be induced in this important functioning body the nation.

4.    The other thing on which Mr. Modi focussed was about the safety and power of women of the nation. He talked at length about the real power of the women of the nation, and even went on to talk about the contribution about the women in the recent CWG games in making India proud and this truly encourage the people around the nation to revere the women around the country and to watch them as the nation’s strength and pride.
5.    The other thing is that Mr. Modi talked about the cooperation that India can acquire with SAARC nation in order to promote regional progress and development in the Asian continent thereby trying to make India a key player in the development of the Asia as well as the globe around the world.

6.    The last but not the least and presumably the most important product of him speech was that he asked the manufacturers around the world to come and invest in India and make India a manufacturing hub around the world and gave the slogan of “Make In India” thereby asking the companies around the world to make “Made In India” a great brand around the world which truly signals his great belief in the power of technology and business.

These were the things on which the whole nation must ponder and change itself for the better. May God bless India, May God bless you, May God help us all.
