Lot to achieve.

With changing time, the meaning of Independence Day has also changed and for most of the people, it's like any other holiday which one can enjoy with friends and family. As the meaning has changed so are the dimensions, People like me who have never seen the struggle and sacrifices could never understand the pulse and importance and how the status quo has been achieved.

Well I consider myself as citizen of independent nation, but question arises that have we really achieve the independence status. The decade old problems of poverty, unemployment and social diseases still rule the independent India; we are Political independent and also in terms of geographically defined territories but is that what the independence means?

What about the liberty in terms of expression of one’s view point are we independent? We all are dependent on government machinery for social benefits, security and services, we are restrained where is the independence, our day to day life getting affected by government’s actions and statements are we really independent?
