The republic day

Republic: dictionary meaning: A state in which supreme power is held by the people.

We live in a country of 1.241 billion people, where a kid is born every minute, rape in every 2 minutes, crime, every second. A country where a girl is imprisoned for posting a status against a local leader, a country where a painter(Aseem trivedi) is imprisoned for drawing out his rage against dirty politics. A country where some saints like swami nigamananda died saving ganga(a holy river)  from illegal mining and stone crushing and saints like asaram live freely from true allegations like rapes, murders, molestation  and child exploitation.

A country where political leaders are gangsters and gangsters are heroes of cinema.  A country where queues are meant for only the middle class, where seats for poor are filled by wealthy and medical colleges are filled with illiterates morons, the only deserving peoples are born with silver spoon. A country where the only safe citizens are roaming with z security & the only eligible politician is blood of an old one.

 The leader who stands for citizen is snagged with fake claims, and leader who is criminal is crowned as minister of law. The socialite who raises its voice against the system is shot, burned or killed by the mafias and the socialite who throws cocktail parties is featured in reality shows.

We live in a country where a father can sell out his bachelor son to highest bidder but can kill the same son for his honor. A husband who can love his wife for her alluring looks or her wealthy background but can leave the same wife for her disability to conceive a child. A mother who can kill her own child for being a weaker sex.

We live in a country which is labeled as democratic republic and independent.
But these labels are just stickers of genuinely on a sham.
