IS THE INDEPENDENCE DAY A CURSE?

IS THE INDEPENDENCE DAY A CURSE?

As a nation, India has a big and long history of freedom. Though Indians suffered a long slavery but they did not feel it because at that time the nation wasn’t united and divided into clans. The Afgan and Mugal invaders invaded India only for looting but they understood the fact that the people of the country are under petty kings who often fight each other for territory and the might is right principle was on its way. So they established their rule permanently and rule more than 250 years long but the Indian people and the rulers didn’t feel the fact that they are the slave of those invaders. It was so because they were mingled in the Indian soil and culture and they ruled like the Indian rulers. But then the British came India for trade and they played diplomacy divide and rule and established their feet as the ruler. They subjugated all clans and empires by the force and ruled as per their will. The Indian rulers felt it and they fought Gadar in 1957 but failed because that was the small reaction of some annoyed kings and emperor. Later the existence of the Indian National congress and some politicians like Dada Bhai Noroujee and Gopal Krishan Gokhle felt the fact of the freedom because of the voice of democracy in the European nations. And the tyranny and dictatorship of the British army and generals was of the extreme and explosive level so the people of common India raised their hands against the British rule. There was another reason behind that voice of freedom. That was the growth of education due to the British’s mechaley education polity and some ambitious leaders who wanted to be the democratic rule system based ruler. And their dream came true at the midnight when the existed Prime Minister of Britain Mr. Etley declared India as the free nation. Lastly they played diplomacy and gave ever existing jeopardy as the formation of nation Pakistan based on community. The Muslims and the Hindus of India were lived unitedly and lived like mingling each other with mutual harmony.
My aim behind this description (from which almost all educated people are familiar) is to point out a particular point that is the word ‘The Independence Day’ every nation who has suffered slavery celebrate the Indepandence day with glory and pomp. And by celebrating it every citizen of the nation feels pride but indeed it is impact like an abuse and slap. If you have freedom or liberty day it mean you have suffered slavery and this fact gives you a great agony and gives a great shock and repentance why we remained slave of other and we curse us and our past civics for that stain. Slavery means the rule by the dictator by force and cruelty. In the slavery the citizenship of the civilians has been exploited by the ruler by trempling the dreams and rights. Being national of the free nation we often feel proud to be the Indian. Today we are freed and not the slave of other. We have our own elected government and we have all citizen rights under the democratic polity. For getting own freedom we have given uncountable sacrifices. Our freedom fighters, revolutionists, poltical leaders and the common people played a dominant role to shape national movement. They got physical and mental punishment. They endured all thoubles bravely and spiritedly so having the Independence Day. We should not feel proud. It is indeed a great panic. This point of independence day hurt us when we think why we remained slave so we have the day independence. If we would not entrap in the slavery we too would not have the day independence like England. The nations who have not suffered slavery can mock the nations who have the Independence day. The Independence is the symbol of slavery. If you have the day mean you have suffer the slavery. Some countries have rebelled against monarchy because they wanted the rule of people where equal opportunities are available for each and every citizen of the nation. Monarchy can not be considered as the slavery. Slavery is a different thing where you are helpless and totally exploite by the ruler.
