Today is 15th August 2013, 67th Independence Day of Our Great Country INDIA.

 

But today if we ask question from young India "What is Independence day? How we got freedom from British rule?' 

 

Young India has hardly have time to think and remember about freedom fighter which really not their fault, Due to drastically change in every field like communication media, social life, work culture etc  unlike the past where communication was hardly possible, the youth of today look back with cynical eyes wondering what Independence Day is all about. They mop up historical tales along with grandma’s bedtime stories, proclaiming both as fiction. Today every bit of information is easily available in one's drawing room, tea table due to technology and more over their own hand with mobile technology.  Violence, s*x, perversion, murder, rape – it’s all there, served with enough sauce to spice up. Last year Delhi rape case, a ten year daughter was asking from her parents what is rape with curiosity. Mummy’s daily show, Cartoon, reality show, game show, socialing life of the rich and famous, celebrity make-over are the kind that fuel the imagination of the youth today.

It is really hard for them to take their minds off or wash from their surrounding stuffs and immerse themselves to witness how Indians toiled hard decades back to achieve Independence in 1947 when an occasion like Independence Day is around. Today’s youth do show respect when the tricolour is hoisted or the National Anthem is being sung, yet the spirit of patriotism which was so very strong during yesteryears is not the same these days.

Comment on our Soldier they are born to die, is taking away the mind of young India from patriotism. if we ask from young children ask what is patriotism we hardly get the answer when we explain then They appreciate the sacrifices made by their forefathers and pay homage to them and see Bhagat Singh immortalised by Ajay Devgan and Booby Deol and our soldier look like Sunny Deol & Hrithik Rosan and their (solider) life style too these heroes. One hand they have their eyes set on a different future for themselves, when we ask what you want to be and why Cricketer, Actor, Actress because it’s have fame and money. Cricket is become game of nation but hardly have they known our national game is Hockey. Today’s hero & heroines are as varied as Ranbir Kapoor, Aamir khan, Sachin Tendulkar, Anna Hazare, Narendra Modi, Anuska Sharma, Deepika, Saina Nehwal, Kiran Bedi and Arundhati Roy.

Do you think young Indian mind is going away from these National Festival?

And what will be situation in next 50 years whether these festival will remain or vanish?
