Today is Republic Day for India I dont want to celebrate Republic Day or Independence Day. I regard it as a cruel farce and an insult to my people to celebrate them when over 75% of my countrymen are living in horrible poverty, when half our children are malnourished, when there is massive unemployment and lack of healthcare and good education for the Indian masses, when there is discrimination against women, dalits, minorities, etc, when there are atrocities against women, starting from even before their birth ( female foeticide ), dowry deaths, etc,when barbaric social practices like honour killing still continue, when farmers are regularly committing suicide, when corruption is rampant despite all talk of good governance , when our netas bluff our people with false promises of vikas, etc with no intention of ever fulfilling them. You all may participate in this farce, but please dont expect me to join in it. My Republic Day and Independence Day will be celebrated when the Indian masses are having happy prosperous lives with a high standard of living. I am quite sure that day will come long after I am dead. But on that day I will be showering flowers and rose petals on my motherland from the skies.
