Independence With Attitude

If educated people won’t speak out then who else will,
You cowards can stay quiet but I just can’t stay chill,

If capable will cave and simply succumb to the drill,
Who else will show courage to climb this steep hill,

Those who died for you, wasn’t just for the thrill,
Prove, you are special and not just run of the mill,

Love for the land demands, you stand up and pay the bill,
That life is damned, from which lava doesn’t ooze and spill,

If you want, you can do it, but show the nation a strong will,
Be the best and don’t settle for bargain, either it’s all or nil,

Be the ferocious fire, that no one can dare to touch or kill,
That’s the way to earn respect and world will watch your reel.

Some are free because nobody can dare to touch them e.g. lion in jungle can nap anywhere without any worry. And some has got the status of freedom because of other more powerful is gracious enough. Luckily we are living in a time where imperialistic attitudes of nations are fairly restricted due to some factors. Otherwise many nations can lose their freedom overnight.

If we talk specifically about India, then it has never acted as a one nation in history and chances are very less that even in future it ever will. It was a smorgasbord of thousands of different cultures coexisting but still light-years apart in attitudes and probably will remain the same for at least a next thousand years or more. People usually utter some bullshit like, India is a unity in diversity but the reality is different.

Normal Indian person can’t think of any more freedom than just to pee, spit and defecate anywhere. Earlier foreigners used to loot its prosperity and take it away, now our politicians and fraudsters are looting it and putting that stolen wealth away. But hey, at least we can say that we have democratically given that right to loot us instead of someone looting us unwillingly. Another interesting term is ‘Freedom to practice any religion of choice’. In reality that translates to ‘The freedom of being and expressing utter stupidity, bigotry and dumbness in the name of a disease called religion’.

India might have got physical freedom but a real attitude of freedom and independence is still far far away from the majority of people’s tiny subservient minds. In rich and prosperous nations, politicians have got only a couple of tricks to divide the people like race and economic inequality but in India, there are millions of ways to divide people and play with them.

I don’t know whether more literacy is good or bad for India because from 18% literacy rate to almost 80% in the last 70 years hasn’t changed the mindset of the people. Earlier someone needed to try to brainwash the people but now since they can read, they are ‘independently’ numbing their minds via WhatsApp education.

I believe, a strong nation can be defeated in a war but it can never be enslaved. So while saying ‘Happy Independence Day’, people should introspect why the nation lost its independence in the first place. Otherwise, we – sorry not ‘we’ but only those who can understand – know the future of such a nation. India has got independence but let’s hope one day people will be able to break the shell of stupidity and develop the attitude of independence too. 😉

Marriage Age

Why do politicians want to fix the marriage age?,
Just a trick to divert people from rape and rage,

What about deciding old politicians retirement age?,
And the qualification before climbing election stage!

I dare, you won’t really be able to turn that page,
All politicians are cowards and liar, said the sage,

Politics is all about keeping people wrongly engage,
While sucking nation’s wealth behind fancy hedge,

As wage is not any politician’s wealth’s true gauge,
Don’t judge this fine looking book from title page.

Lo and behold! The great magician is back in town with a new trick.

Dear__, while you are fixing the age for Indian girl’s marriage age, we have few suggestions  seeking your immediate attention and thoughtful consideration.  

Of course, you know it all but while working more than 18 hrs a day for the nation’s benefit, it is sometimes obvious to forget some not so important and petty pending tasks. But no worry, we are always here to help ( it’s another thing that you never ask smart people around and always pander the obsequious sycophants ). But again no worry.

Now, if His Excellency considers following age related things then it will be a great service to our already great but destined to be the greatest nation 😉

1. Age of politician’s retirement

         No no no, we are not saying that politicians’ become ineffective with age. Rather the problem is that they become too active as they age, demanding larger share from all the projects 😉 You know what I mean right 😉

2. Qualification of politicians

         Now of course this is not related to age but with maturity. We all agree that there must be some minimum qualification of a person seeking public office ( Ok, not we all, but at least smart people of this nation do ). I know that we do differ a little here from the standpoint of what exactly ‘qualification’ means. What political parties call the qualifications ( goon, fraudster, murderer, convicts, a dumb person acting as rubber stamp when needed, cast, creed, religion, empty orator etc ) are not what we really mean. But our humble request is to consider education ( haha gotcha, real degree from a real university with real verification credentials ) and proven experience.

3. Qualification of Voters

         Temporarily, until majority of the nation’s population becomes educated and thoughtful, this might go against the notions of democracy equals to majority, because in this country majority of people are dumb and must be discouraged from voting. A person who doesn’t know where to pee, is picking the politicians. Political parties like it ( not their pee but vote, so that they can pee back on them ) but as His Excellency understands that this is not helping the nation moving forward.

Now if you really try to implement all or any of the three things mentioned above then only you will be able to remove the label given to you by the opposition. Otherwise, the label sounds legitimate and of course, with age, the label will be hard to remove 😉
