Independence day thoughts

Freedom. By definition is has to be Political freedom is the absence of interference with the sovereignty of an individual by the use of coercion or aggression. this include my freedom of speech, my freedom of religion, movement, education, suffrage and association. Do I enjoy all these in India. hell YEA!!!!!!!!!.
I always enjoyed all the freedom Indian constitution assigned to all the citizens. I am way too blessed to enjoy my freedom of speech and religion unlike in Communist china or many Middle Eastern countries. Did I get the freedom of education... Once Barack Obama said his story is possible only in United States of America. Wait a minute... Not really. With all due respect to, Barack. (I prefer to call him by his first name because I am way too impressed with him intellectually and damn, yea i am connected to him emotionally too). I'd say your story is possible better in India.. USA has a 13% African American population.. Your democracy had to wait this long to get you to the stage to become it's president. Compare it with Sikh population of less than 2% in India, Manmohan Singh is India's Prime Minister.. Remember we already had Zailsingh, Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, our beloved APJ Abdul Kalam and KR Narayanan as our presidents. Is there a woman hearing from the land of dreams?. We had a primier named indira Gandhi from your own tribe called woman. With all the big guys there, let me state my story... I did not enjoy any privileges of money neither of any minority protection. Only asset I had was my desire to study.. I studies in local Govt schools in Malayalam medium, got selected to study Engineering. Guess how much was the tuition fee I paid each year?.. a few hundreds. Isn't it the greatest generosity of my motherland India which made me this. What have I given back to my motherland?.. Did I join the military?.. or did I became a good politician?.. Nope. the lure of money is too much and I am a big selfish @$$hole like anyone else. For me i am more important to me than my country.
What is the freedom I lack?.. Maybe I wished i did had a govt devoid of corruption, inefficiencies and dividing my fellow citizens by different names. Why shouldn’t I be the change?. I can easily blame the politicians. Why not become one and change it is now?..
I definitely don’t want the freedom to wear arms around all the places. The biggest thing each person cannot control is his own emotions. No person in this world mastered the art of conquering emotions Jesus, Gandhi, Mandela or even George Carlin. A deadly weapon in the hands of an emotional animal is not necessarily for the good. Maybe in order to enforce the law of the land the law enforcement officers need it. But the selection of them needs to be very careful considering a loony police officer is as dangerous as a common man or terrorist with a deadly weapon.
Didn’t our state went too far in terms of giving religious freedom?. Not really.. it I the politicians trying to divide us to rule are the cause. Let me tell you on top of anything in this world lay a politician. Irrespective or corporate India, corporate America, religious heads all across the religions. When politicians try to lavish these religious and corporate leaders, we are very much going back from the common man’s needs. Now in the name of minority rights they appease every bishop, rabbi, guru or mullah. I am not against minority protection. But the biggest proponent of it and supports affirmative action in the name of reservations. But I do disagree with the way in which it is being carried out. I don’t want a millionaire kid to get into a free college and get free education, free scholarships at the shunting a laborer son who is brighter than him and economically poor. Is it because his great great great grandfather treated the millionaire’s ancestors badly?.. No $#%$#5ing way… Now comes the minority medical colleges and minority engineering colleges. All these religious leaders licked the unmentionable places of politicians elected by these common men to get medical and engg colleges. Who get benefited by this?.. The underpriviledged?.. Hell NO.!!! These religious leaders make millions in the name of minority protection. Neither the common man in the minority nor the economically underprivileged in their own communities never get to enter those places.
Do you need evidence?.. I know a girl who is 4 years older to me. She was one of the brightest kids in the whole school’s history. Her dad was a coconut labourer who plucked coconuts. She could not afford to go to Med school, so she chose BSc chemistry and top rank holder in BSc and MSc at her university. She was bypassed for jobs in the minority protection institutions owned by her own community. She did find a job in government. Who protected her?.. State or her religion?..
Think.. Think.. think… State is better suited to handle things considering they have to face elections every 5 years.
