We profoundly remember Dr.Rajender Prasad, the First President of the country, who while addressing the Nation on 26th. January, 1950 had said,
“This is a memorable day in our annals…..”
"Today, for the first time in our long and chequered history, we find the whole of this vast land... brought together under the jurisdiction of one constitution and one union which takes over responsibility for the welfare of more than 320 million men and women who inhabit it…."
"The objective of our Republic is to secure Justice, Liberty and Equality for its citizens and to promote fraternity among the people who inhabit its extensive territories and follow different religions , speak various languages and observe their peculiar customs. We want to live on terms of friendship with all other countries. …”
“Our objective is to achieve progress for our country in every field. Our future programme includes eradication of disease, poverty and ignorance. ………”
“It is essential that in order to achieve this, we must safeguard the freedom that is ours today. But economic and social freedom are as urgent a demand of the time as political freedom. The present requires of us even greater devotion and sacrifice than the past…..”
Well, we did achieve our so called Political freedom 63 years ago, but have we really achieved our economic and social freedom as envisaged by the great leader. No we have not. Moreover, do we find our present leadership genuinely concerned about the subject, NO…!
Let us examine what have we after all achieved in these 63 years. Yes with the growth in Population just three times over, the rate of corruption and exploitation has multiplied in all sectors without any limit, Rate of Inflation has grown innumerable number of times ( and we feel proud to label it as a sign of growth and prosperity) , Rate of un-employment is ever growing ( We call it as an evil necessity, strange but true/ false we don’t know) , Discrimination and Nepotism is the order of the day, Terrorism and violence are being accepted as norms ( our immature leadership feels proud to claim that we are better than other terrorists infected countries), Rate of un-employment is growing higher every decade , growth in reservations and special appointments in all sectors , there is a continuous growth in suicides by farmers , the NPA’s ( Non-Performing Assets ) of the banks are growing continuously , The rates of Real estate Industry, drugs and common food items have grown tremendously far beyond the rate of the Growth of the economy as a whole (That has pushed the common man further downwards on a very slippery platform), the rate of growth in frauds and scams is unparalleled in our country, however there is an all-round positive Growth in all kinds of economic offences like Hoarding, adulteration, manipulation of Prices thru cartels, black marketing and so on……
The irony of fate for the nation is that the so called Leaders who are warming the seats of the Parliament and the Bureaucracy who adorn the seats in the corridors of power are completely satisfied with the existing Rate of Growth…!! Under such circumstances it is just impossible that we could expect any relief, respite or succor from the ruling illiterate leadership in order to buttress the dwindling state of poverty in our country.
The latest report is that ,
“The new poverty measure shows that 8 states out of the 29 states in India have more poor people than 26 poorest African countries combined.”
A new multidimensional poverty Index shows that India is far poorer than Africa in both intensity and in number.
The Multidimensional Poverty Index developed by Oxford University (which will appear in the upcoming UNDP human development report) shows that India is far poorer than Africa not just in number but also in intensity.

Hence, only a well-coordinated Joint effort by each and every common man who has even the least of National Spirit left will help in removing all the roadblocks like Corruption, Nepotism, adulteration, Hoarding, black-marketing etc. can be erased so that the dangerous trend of the “Rich becoming Richer and the poor becoming poorer”, could be successfully obstructed in the larger interest of the nation as a whole….!!! What is required is the grand initiative by the common man, an initiative to remove all the impediments that have blocked the road of progress and growth for the common man at one GO…!!!! Only then can the common man can really achieve the much cherished real Economic and Social Freedom…!!!!!!!
