INDEPENDENCE AND YOUTH
outh is always a power for their country. India is independent since
Y1947 and today is 2013, in between this 66 years, youth showed their power and done the unimaginable things. But every coin have other face too and so is it. Today youth are captured in the hands of corruption and other evils.
Many great people sacrifice their life for the independence of their motherland from the British Raj. They are also the youth of time and they have devoted their young age to independence. They are the youth who led the revolution, they are fearless and they are not afraid of nourishing the fire of independence with their blood. Every independence day we talk a lot about those people, deliver a long scripted speech but do you think that long scripted speech is getting into the ears of youth? I think it isn’ t, in fact it’ s boring to them. And this is today’ s youth..
Our independence costs a lot of blood but today we are growing as a disgrace to that blood. In simple words, we don’ t value our independence. The patriotism is lost in the city of corruption.‘ Apni aazadi ko hum hargis gawaa sakte nhi, sir kata sakte hai lekin sir jhuka sakte nhi’ is now just a song and not the proud feeling of our nation. Today who is going to guard the independence of nation? Not the army men, not the government, it will be youth. The whole nation is expecting a lot from the youth and we are going towards the black mists of destruction.
Just ask yourselves, in a multiplex when national anthem is played before starting of films, do you stand with the feeling of nationality? When the national flag printed in polythene is thrown, do you feel pain? When any girl became victim of harassments, do you feel shame on humanity? When any politician is caught in case of corruption, do you feel anger? If yes, then why don’ t you show your anger & pain and become the change..
It is the right time for the youth to show their powers. And I would be saying only this- although youth has lost the feelings and values for independence but today also it resides somewhere in the hearts which is lost due to corruption and competition. And in time it will be burning a g a i n a s r e v o l u t i o n b e c a u s e independence and youth both are the phase of each other and history proved it.
