INDEPENDENCE… an archaic and quaint subject... May be it’s subjective but still need a thought to ponder…
As India’s Independence Day (and obviously, Pakistan's too...) is coming, I feel more than free. I am privileged to be born in free India. Being a citizen of India as well as a part of conscious youth, I believe that our responsibilities should be our habit. Any thing we did till yet do for some reason, either for a cause, or interest or future securities or whatever else, all coz of human selfish nature, and I don’t blame that, after all it’s a human err. No one is perfect and even not need to be. And definitely, independence is also a kind of selfishness. Remember ”jid karo, duniya badlo…” very meaningful slogan... Our youth is not even enthusiastic n daring but also intelligent enough to take their decision well and step forward against every evil. I salute their will.
But, deep in my heart, somewhere I always try to find out the real meaning of independence! Is it laid in freedom to do anything, whatever we want, or in something we actually do? Where is the foundation of independence lies? In what way, we actually see our freedom? Is it just limited to express ourselves freely or seeking for the goodness of our rights?
I am not talking here about the freedom, nationalism, sacrifices, discrimination and all, but try to figure out my thoughts on different perspective, based on understanding…
The lay of the land is that most of our youth take this freedom for granted, without knowing its true meaning. Many people say that they are not completely free as they are still bound in some relations, activities, duties and much more. They only protest for their demands, rights etc. I believe, freedom becomes more sterling by following the responsibilities too. Let’s make it more clearly by day-to-day instances…
1. Isn’t a child feels free when he is on his mother’s lap! He actually feels free even after dependent on his mother….
2. We listen in many new FM stations but would it replace the originality of AIR Rainbow? Even today, I prefer the later one... after all; the foundation of radio evolution is strongly laid upon the success of Rainbow channel (in India...)!!!
But most of our youngsters prevent themselves as they feel that responsibility is directly meant to dependence. Here, I contradict!!! We must anticipate with the fact that we actually learn the independence from the dependence. For instance, when a child learns to ride a bicycle, he needs some support in the beginning. But when he experiences his ability to ride freely, he became independent. But with now, he also needs to accustom with the responsibilities to ride his bicycle with care, on its own.
One more instance, right from the starting, our parents nourished us, feed us, and made us enable to stand on our own feet. But when we become free (in the sense that we can nourished ourselves), it is our responsibility to direct our mind and step in the right way to enjoy the real independence. By this way, we can think of the fact that, our independence is related somewhere on our dependent nature. And what’s wrong in that? After all, smallest actions are much better than the noblest intention.
So, the need of the hour is that it requires more and more awareness to enter the battle-arena of getting the independence by understanding our responsibilities too, but plz not on the namesake of nationality but on HUMANITY, COMPASSION, and LOVE to one another.
With all these things in mind, I think we should coin something new, instead of independence…
"INTER-DEPENDENCE…" WHAT SAY!!!
Let me present a toast and cheers to all for the CELEBRATION...
WISH U ALL A VERY HAPPY “INTER-DEPENDENCE DAY”
