What is a true Independence day?

 In India, celebrating Independence day have been a day of holiday, distribution of sweets and watching movies in tv alone, rather than the realisation of what true independence mean.

- Independence of whom? What? A Nation? What is the definition of a Nation? Is a Nation living entity? 

Never! For a Nation to be independent, the citizens of its nation should be independent of their minds, from the clutches of superstitions, regressive mindset, pseudo modernisation & pseudo science. But, do we agree with it? 

- The people of this nation have infact more inclined towards superstitions, pseudo science and becoming narrow minded day by day with increasing number of violence against weaker sections of the society, and huge polarisation been found. Is this what called independence? Is the people independent? NO! 

- Government & State are different, either the government should be satisfied or the people should be satisfied with the prevailing policies. But now, legislative, executive and judicial wings are not independent. Also the state which is nothing but the people, are also not satisfied and independent, then why should we celebrate this day if both the government and the state is not independent. 

- Independence of a Nation means, it's citizens should be independent financially, socially, politically and be able to exercise their right to freedom of speech & expression, which is now diminishing. We cannot simply post status or wishes, leaving our fundamentals enshrined in the constitution

- A Nation is not a living entity to be revered, rather the people of the Nation does, Majority of the Nation is not satisfied with this kind of autocratic rule, inspite of which, simply celebrating for namesake is nothing less than selling our rights. 

- Then what is a true Independence? “When your inner emotions are not monitored , guided ,influenced or derived by the outside things around you “

The ultimate goal of a human life is to experience the state of happiness, blissfulness, ecstasy and to stay in that state all the time.

But does it really happen ..?? NO . it does for a while and get effaced the next moment.

After doing whole lot of things , still we feel miserable, we crib about traffic , government ,people , almost everything.

Because our Inner emotions i.e. happiness, sorrow, faith,mercy,jealous,love etc. are dependent upon the things outside .It is confined in the cage of outside events . We can not make this world act as per our will, can we?

In a nutshell , when we will be happy and when we will be miserable is not independent, not in our control.

- Do we have such an independent mindset now? Think and then celebrate this day.
