Every Indian celebrates Independence Day on 15^th August. But I don’t think we are still independent. Let’s start the story from a broader view. When we open a news paper in morning to refresh our mind we normally find robbery, bomb blasts etc. It sends a message that we are not secured. If one is not secured then how he/she will be independent. Corruption is another big deal for India. If one is going to protest that then he has to see the doors of jail opened for him. Is this the independence we are talking about?  A person has to go to door to door to earn his daily living and he is not bothered about the rude behavior of the high class society. The simple reason is that by any means he/she has to earn his/ her daily living no matter whether he/she is an uneducated beggar or a highly qualified sales person. In the 20^th century if one government is unable to create employability for its citizens then can we say proudly that we are independent? But really some people especially the politicians can say that they are really independent because they can do anything. They have the liberty to do any crime which includes corruption, scams and many more. Because they are very clear about the fact that nothing will happen to them. If the protector becomes the destroyer then can we really say that we are independent? If an athlete wins a medal for the country then he is rewarded with a huge amount but when a soldier or army person dies who has dedicated his life for the protection of the country then a simple condolence and a small amount of stipend come into act. Is this the independence we are talking about? A person has to get into the city bus in time no matter how rush it is because transportation is the biggest concern of the day. If u will miss the bus then it increases the probability of missing your job also. Is this the independence we are talking about? In this independent country increasing price of necessity commodities is another biggest concern. No matter whether it is grocery items or Petrol and diesel. This is the country where women don’t feel themselves secured if they will be out after 8 pm in the evening. Is this the independence we are talking about?
