The day we received Independence
First Independence Day
These are vintage photos of our first Independence day celebrations, Tryst with Destiny as Nehru had said.
I don't know whether we were better off then or now.
We had foreign tyrants then, now we have our own homegrown ones.
They looted and took away to England.
The present one loot and stash away in Swiss Banks.
They had the land acquisition Act by which they took away your land with the stroke of a pen. Our present rules propose to make the said acquisiton even easier.
It seems my mother was right.
The Biltish (she used to pronounce it that way) were much better.
I think except for poiticians and those in power, most Indians would agree with me.
