nice topic tht!! thanks for bringing it up pjyo... this one is for u 🤗
mile sur meraa tumhaaraa... toooo sur banee... hamaaraa... lets sing along 😊 and lets make world a better place..
u and that song made me nostalgic, for sure... but then, out of that magical dream world, it also makes me think... do i hear that "humhaara sur" ?? and do we, u, me and all of us... sing it knowing the underlying idea? 63 years of freedom to mother india, and what have we given her back? i dont dare to say the politics is corrupt, thought it might be... i dont dare to say the officers are corrupt, even when i know tthat nothing is done without it - but i'd rather look into myself....when we see someone in saffron, we try to steer clear - and think whether hez from bajrang dal or sreeram sena - whether he'll click fotographs of my friend with me... and send it to my parents along with the invitation for the wedding they've fixed for the reason that they spotted us together... when we see an muslim, we raise our brows, is he another terrorist??? isnt there something fishy about him?(most of it could be media's creativity, true..) but we dont see the brothers or sisters in them, unlike the pledge we used to 'recite' back during our school days... this is the india, the new india... not a place "where the mind is without fear" nor "where the head is held high"... for the aam aadmi... its a place full of apprehensions... when we see the babus in the office, we contemplate - should i keep the tip ready before i approach him with my needs?
is this what we wanted? is this the india our predecessors gave their lives for? and where did it all go wrong??
the change... should start... as a national movement - caused by the union of all the cultural movements... the cultural movements, enlightenment, starting from each town and village... and that begins from our homes, our families and from within each one of us... lets be the change that we want... lets not tell our little nephews, brothers or kids that "its a girls game when they play zip zap zoo (knowig well that there are still villages in india where the girl child is either not allowed to be born or is let to suffer all the detest of the community. knowing tht there are still places within this same india, where women still dont have the basic rights our constitution offers them)... lets not think of the fellow beings as muslims, hindus, christians, sikhs or parsies... lets try to think of them as human beings... lets not think in terms of social, regional or religious communities that we belong to.... inclusive growth starts from me... from the words i speak at home.. from the ideas i impart to the people around me - especially to the little minds around me... let india live long - let there be freedom to be what u r!
