India Independence Day 2010: Secular, Sovereign nation – Celebrate with SMS, Quotes and Greetings

india independence day picture

india independence day picture

15th August arrives yet again and it's a day we celebrate with gusto shedding all our inhibitions. It was on this day that India broke free from the shackles of British rule and attained complete independence. The uncompromising attitude of our forefathers to British imperialism, bought us our birth right to live free on our land-India. They laid the foundations of our economic development by means of an all-inclusive multi-purpose planning. What have we built upon it but the virtual vine-yard of corruption?

It's time we accepted our own failings and flaws and not blame it on the Indian Government. We must be aware that we're equally responsible for the state our country is in before celebrating its independent existence. "Vox Populi  Vox Dei", the voice of people is the voice of god. This was the basic building block that India and its democracy was built upon but can we really say that the elections today are a Plebiscite for measuring popular opinion?

The electorate is teeming with rich individuals who work for their own ulterior motives and flout popular opinion at will. The people are not helping their cause by abstaining from voting and suppressing their views. Freedom of speech and writing seem so hollow that it resonates when touched upon. The rights and duties of citizens should be reciprocal but it is hardly present. Are we truly Independent or just slaves of people we call our own??

The wide disparities in the distribution of wealth, the inequalities in the possession of privileges is what characterizes modern India. The Indian peasant is still illiterate, Superstitious and caste-ridden. He is uneconomical and improvident. What have we done to deserve such a celebration of a pseudo freedom? This Independence day, we should at least make it a point to achieve the secular tag because such a society is well-knit and homogeneous. It is a fact that if we allow a particular community to be under-privileged, we grow unresponsive to their human claims giving fuel to feelings by no means to be encouraged.

For one let us make sure that our education is non-religious and non-sectarian as it was intended to be and let us all make an effort to take the benefits of education to every nook and cranny of India in our small way. This Independence day make an effort, change your wallpapers to reflect your independence day, send Independence day smses for a change and try to truly make a difference. If you are Proud to Be an Indian so make India feel Proud of you too. Let us make our country more than just a flashy brilliance-like a meteor or lightning with no permanent impression. Help India rise and shine and contribute in making the utopian notion of a perfect democracy, a reality!

Peepli Live

Peepli Live

There is sure to be a tie between Sylvester Stallone and Mr. Amir Khan this Friday. No we are not talking of any award ceremony. We are of talking about the two blockbuster flicks which would be releasing this Friday

The Expandables, directed by Sylvester Stallone
Peepli [Live] produced by Amir Khan

Both of the above movies are expected to deliver huge hits at the box-office. Both the directors have never failed to entertain its audience and so is expected this Friday too. Where ‘The Explandables’ is a movie ful of combat action and guns and deception, on the other hand Amir has produced a typical rural scenario in his movie, ‘Peepli [Live]‘.

"Rocky," as he used to be known before entering Hollywood, is said to be famous all around the globe, starting from the barber shops in India. To complete my statement, I would say that he was the only Hollywood actor to be known so wonderfully even by small town folks. Stallone’s action movie is soon to be released in the Indian theaters too after earning fame and appreciation in its home country. A sequel has already been planned for ‘The Expandables’. click for mp3

Peepli [Live] would be releasing catching attention of more than 95% Indians and the sure part is that all of them would be touched by the atrocities faced by the common man. click here for wallpapers and trailers
