Happy Independence Day

the band strikes the chords of the National Anthem...

" जन  गण मन  , अधिनायक  जय  हे ...."

i wondered 

who are the Jan 

who are the gan

and who are adhinayak

" भारत   भाग्य  विधाता ,"

the doers of the Indian destiny 

the electorates

the elected 

the educated

the illiterate 

the majority

the minorities

" पंजाब  , सिंध , गुजरात  , मराठा ..."

Punjab is ailing with problem of plenty 

Sindh , well the only thing left of it is Sindhu Darshan

Gujrat is eclipsed with politico- communal violence 

and Maharashtra...

hush Raj Thakre may protest if he hears anything

" द्रविड़  उत्कल  बंग ..."

Ah the Red Corridor, 

the epicenter of labour of love

our tryst with destiny

the proud hear of  India

ailing with coronary thrombosis 

" विन्ध्य ,  हिमाँचल ,यमुना  गंग

उछल  जल  धितारंग ..."

Is it so

they spend millions of rupees on purification of these rivers

and recently a Sadhu died to create awareness to protect Ganga

and Yamuna 

i am confused whome it belongs to Uttranchal. UP , haryana , Delhi

India is out of question...

" जब  शुभ  नामे  जागे 

तब  शुभ  आशीष  मांगे  "

are we awake,

or still need to wake up

and of course 

we need blessings no matter where ever they come from

" गए  सब  जय  गाथा ,"

India is  Shining, 

but of course it is 

so what 60 % of us are below poverty line

we have a growing middle class

so what if people are hungry

food grains are rotting in FCI godown

so what if people are poor

plenty of money is stashed in swiss bank accounts

"जन  गण  ....मंगल  दायक  जय  हे

well 

who is it 

The Government , well you know what is is

The Bureaucracy , you know what it is not...

and we have an Adarsh Army who refuses to age

"भारत  भाग्य  विधाता "

who

those in Parliament

or those in Jail

or those in streets who but can not influence their own destiny

जय  हे , जय  हे  , 

जय  जय   जय  जय  हे "

jai ho

let india be blessed within 52 seconds

with the most melodious national anthem in the world

but is it over

wait 

there is no Mention of Kashmir, and we have fought three and three quarters  of war for it

and Arunachal, for what we are daring China

and Assam, Manipur, Nagaland, Meghalaya , Mizoram, Tripura, Silkkim

how do we relate to these Indian Underdogs

i am being so naive 

how can they be there when Gurudev wrote this in the  Glory of the Royal crown

kudos to this nation

which lives in past glory

let the tricolor unfurl 

Happy Independence Day
