Coming at hand is Independence Day. Yet again there will be promises, pledges, speeches and so-called feeling of patriotism will rise in millions of hearts, yes, millions but unfortunately that remains only for one or two days. The most important thing is that rather trying just to be patriotic we should try to keep or try to keep our national flag high. Undoubtedly, it is the national flag that we are always proud of. But, the utmost need, responsibility or duty that has to be executed by we the people of the Republic of India is that we strive to make India such a country where every citizen is self-sufficient to keep the flag high.
But how to do this? Just saying something for the sake of it is, of course, quite easy but when it comes to change into action, the almost the whole country sees to it as if it is a Herculean task. For India to be a developed nation we need to educate every individual and that is for sure. But, it always strikes our mind that, “Have we not been educating so many people till now (though it is only about 68 %)?” The clear cut answer is no and a big NO. The thing which we try to call education is mere literacy mission. We can never hope of the tricolor being held high if we just have a billion people good-for-nothing and knowing just how to write their names.
The situation is quite demanding now that we provide quality education to every one. Yes, quality education, but this must include quality studies, mental training along with quality physical training. If every child is made to do manual work too, then he will surely understand the dignity of labour and if, unfortunately, in his later life, he fails to get jobs he may eke out his living through hand made things. This will surely prevent him from occupying unfair means i.e. sticking to the antisocial lines for his bread and butter. So, every child's hand must be trained along with his mind as then only he may hold the Indian Flag High.

We will be able to take real pride in the land we belong to only after we start acknowledging the efforts of the millions engaged in low end jobs which comprise the major section of the Indian population...
ReplyDeleteIf we keep looking down upon them or don't give the farmers' their share for instance, we'l be betarying our own motherland. Queuing up for the Independece Day or Republic day doesn't end our National Responsibility, we ought to ensure that every person gets fair opportunitis to be able to live a basic life at least which doesn't come without security of food, health, shelter and education....
