And yet another independence day

Independence day is the most important day for any human beings , for they can exercise their right of movement to anywhere , their right of speaking and writing , their right of equality in all aspects of life and so on and so forth. Being a social animal , we want freedom of doing everything and anything until and unless it does not ill-affect somebody else and independent India provides their citizens of doing the same which the latter had expected from the former. The situation of not being under control of somebody else but theirs gives immense pleasure and gratification to all social creatures and we associate this very independence of ours to a vital ingredients of advanced civilization.
But in spite of all our right to movement , right of expressing ourselves freely and right of getting equal opportunities etc. which we have inherently derived from our ancestors in this country , does India itself independent in taking its own decisions ?

Does India need america or for that matter any other external unwanted elements for resolving its own disputes or issues both inside the territory of India and outside the territory of it ?

In spite of having got the status of independence more than half a century back , we are still following the path which is shown to us by some external agency . To put it more bluntly , Aren't we competent enough to take our own decisions ??
To say an recent evidence to it , just because Hillary Clinton or Obama administration wants us to shake hands with Pakisthan post 26/11 attacks and resolve the bilateral issue according to their strategies , we are precisely following what they have instructed us to do without applying our own brain to it . Does this handshake which happens one day in Chine , on other day in Egypt , on another occasion in Russia between our PM and Pakisthan's president worth enough ? Inspite of release of all the suspected 26/11 perpetrators in Pakisthan , wouldn't this handshaking symbolises a slap on the face of victims of the attack ?

India has been proved to be incompetent to protect its citizens in its territory as well as outside its territory. There is no action taken place to protect the indian students in Australia despite the brutalisation of students there . Even the Autralian media said that the attacks were racist in nature , but inspite of all that not once our govt. has said that . Our govt. is putting their best efforts to be as dumb and deaf as they can and just wash off their hands in the entire matter.
"India , on its own can not do anything in this matter", this is the statement made by Shashi Tharoor ( minister of state for external affairs ) on TIMES NOW .

Inspite of all this , can we call India , an independent country who is able to take their decision on their own at least in their own disputes.
Celebrating 62nd independece day as warmly as we can , will not be of any worth if the very cause of celebrating it , i.e. the state of being independence is not fulfilled . Delivering enthusiastic speeches on Red Fort and distributing sweets and at the same time forgeting about our rights and duties is symptoms of dead nation , never to rise again .

Today in my room , I have heard loud music coming from my opposite wing , the loud music comprised of songs about which everybody care only once in a year. The songs were Lata Mangeshkar's famous "Ae Mere Vatan Ke Logo " , "Mere Desh ki Dharati" and all others. I have absolutely no problem about listening to these songs but the question is , will listening of these songs create any kind of patroitic feelings in ourselves which is so strong and pertinent that can last for at least next independece day . If yes , then the sole purpose of listening is served otherwise its all in vain .

To conclude it here , we will have to decide that how should we celebrate our independece day which reflects our nation's independence because that is precisely what we are celebrating otherwise many more independence day will come and go and the illusion of being independent will remain with us forever.
