INDIA OUR MOTHER LAND

Independence and Thereafter

We fought for freedom from the foreign rulers and after Independence we conveniently forgot our Goal for which we struggled for becoming a free nation without any foreign domination.
Now what is happening after 63 years of freedom? We are daily plunging ourselves into deep and incorrigible misdoings on account of political rivalry culminating in destructive activities. When we have our own elected representatives to manage the day to day affairs of the Government machinery, why such in- fight and disharmony amongst our political stalwarts? Now it is seen that our Security is worse than before when we were depending on the foreign powers .Our own leaders are digging our graves for an unceremonious Burial. Unless this type of rivalry and party leadership goes off, we will be destined to DIE untimely very soon. God Almighty is watching this nasty GAME being played by these self made Leaders who come into power by threatening the poor people OR even killing them who go against their will.
The state of freedom as now - FREEDOM TO KILL- and - FREEDOM TO DIE, unheard-unhonoured and unsung !
The recent Budget and the followed discussions and arguments on the supply of FOOD GRAINS are an interesting study on our attitude and indifferent approach to the realities. The FCI go -downs in our state are filled with food grains for fair distribution amongst the public. But timely action is not taken at the appropriate level and the Grains remain in stock for long and get rotten in due course of time. The rodents and mice have their fill daily without any interference from outside.
I have visited most of the FCI go downs in Kerala during my active service in the Indian Railways. I have seen that the food grains are stacked in the go downs without proper cover to prevent damage. Also First Come First Serve principle is not followed in the distribution and the grains & stacks remain for longer period and become unfit for human consumption.
The people in authority have either overlooked this state of affairs OR did not want a fair distribution of food grains to the people in time. This caused the long storage of grains resulting in damage .I request the Ministers/officials to visit these go downs and take measures to prevent further loss to this essential commodity.
Can anybody think of such inaction by the officials to continue in a free country like INDIA? I feel that we should revamp the whole System of Administration by electing only committed and dedicated men/women to be our Leaders .Unless this change over takes place in the near future we may not exist. All must strive to protect the Life from ruination.
We have to “Strike other Chords “and play a different tune so that we all work in resonance and provide better conditions for the common man to live peacefully without the fear of being Captived by External forces. Our freedom must remain with us and should not be aT STAKE.
