Exactly 73 years ago, this day was the much sought-after day for Indians. From the beginning, there was a hiccup. While Independence was declared to us, Lord Mountbatten said, Indians are programmed for centuries to always be dependent and dictated. India is a country of rich resources, and people here will not be able to utilize it due to a lack of cohesiveness. But that was being looked as ridiculous, but after 73 years, we all get thought that whether Mountbatten's say is right?
From the time we got Independence, the clash started of who will take the leadership positions after the republic? It is a democratic country, and post-Independence Gandhi's dictating power also has got reduced. The result is, the formation of Jawaharlal Nehru-led Congress and for three consecutive times, nobody was able to displace the party. Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajeev Gandi, Sonia Gandhi were and are leading the parties. Later, people sensed there needs to be a change and BJP sprouted with Atalji's leadership.
How is the country now? Are we able to conserve the resources? We are depleting the resources. We may be technically getting advanced. But what for it is going to be useful? Database said that across globe 11 out of 12 cities are listed from India as the most polluted cities. Water scarcity is omnipresent. I am not against being digital but without having a life where is this digitalization heading towards? It is necessary for us to advance in all these technologies, absolutely no doubt but more than everything the resources have to be preserved.
