Bring back the real Independence

"Everyone in the nation watching the historic debate in Parliament" - Pranab started the debate on Lokpal in Parliament houses.

The politicians of ruling, opposition should remember one thing. We can wait for the outcome of debate, but Anna's health won't.

Its really a neck-tight position for the govt to decide and act. As Rahul says, Lokpal isn't enough to stop corruption. Our democracy is having a multi-layered constitutional pacts. Barely including PM, CBIs and Judicial bodies into Lokpal will not solve the whole problem. To have a strong Lokpal bill, the states in the nation should also posses some model and process of lokpal, in local (lokayukta).

But if we wait for some more time to draft and impose Lokpal at state-level and then national-level, it'll be an another Women Reservation bill which was in parliament for more than 40yrs.

All we wanted back is our "Right to Ask" responsibility against the corrupted politicians. Anna's 3 must-have points of Lokpal aren't new constitutions, but our existing responsibilities and duties as citizens of this nation.

A stand-alone, atomic body like election commission could interrogate into political corruptions without any interruptions. We hope this historic debate will bring us LOKPAL COMMISSION, for the progress of the nation.

Its time  to stand against our own malfunctioning citizens, the corrupted politicians to bring back the real Independence.

Time to remember our great Visionary and his vision!

Lets take an oath at this Independence day, to contribute atleast a bit for the progress of the Nation. Nation's progress is individual's responsibility. 


Could you teach and inculcate Patriotism ..? Never. Its a feel. Of us, how many do tell our kids about freedom struggle. The modern parents wants their kids to learn and practice more skills and make them to be a better competitive to others. They let them to study the freedom struggle and movements as a subject in their curriculum.

How pity it is! The next coming young-generation grown up with no national and linguistic patriotism, no social integrity and also with no vision. During Independence struggle in those days ,before 1947, Independence was their only mission but they, almost everyone, had different vision on progress of the nation.

One such great visionary is our மகாகவி சுப்ரமணிய பாரதியார் (Mahakavi Subramaniya Bharathiyar). I think i never deserve to comment or even mention his name. But i wanted to remember one of his visions.


சிந்து நதியின் மிசை நிலவினிலே
சேர நன்னாட்டிளம் பெங்களுடனே
சுந்தரத் தெலுங்கினில் பாட்டிசைத்து
தோனிகள் ஓட்டி விளையாடி வருவோம்.



கங்கை நதிப்புரத்து கோதுமைப் பண்டம்
கங்கை நதிப்புரத்து கோதுமைப் பண்டம்
காவிரி வெற்றிலைக்கு மாருகொல்லுவோம்
சிங்க மராட்டியர்தம் கவிதைகொண்டு
சேரத்து தந்தங்கல் பரிசலிப்போம்
சிங்க மராட்டியர்தம் கவிதைகொண்டு
சேரத்து தந்தங்கல் பரிசலிப்போம்.



Wow... What a wish! These things were only a dream those days. But this is not a speck of matter today. Hope his vision made true today. But not completely. Only a part. Rest of his vision is still a dream...


சிங்கலத் தீவினுக்கோர் பாலமமைப்போம்
சேதுவை மேடுடுத்தி வீதி அமைப்போம்
வங்கத்தில் ஓடி வரும் நீரின் மிகையால்
மையத்து நாடுகலில் பயிர் செய்துவோம்



Even after 65 years of independence we still dreaming of it and never be achieved.He wanted to bridge the gap between Srilanka and us. Not only by means of transportation, but also in terms of economy, trade and in everything. But I think this will be a dream forever. I hope the ADAM Bridge being built at 'Palk Strait', will be opened for free-trade in few months or years. I hope this will prosper the International sea trade and also Indian internal water transport. But the last one, all surplus waters streaming wasted to sea, should be channelized and used for irrigation for regions which need it.


Lets take an oath at this Independence day, to contribute atleast a bit for the progress of the Nation. Nation's progress is individual's responsibility.
