Are We Really Celebrating Independence Day Today? A Critical Look at Our Independence and Governance
The question of whether we truly celebrate Independence Day today is not something I want to believe, but evidence suggests otherwise. While we celebrate our freedom, the reality is that exercising that freedom involves a complex web of socio-political issues that have significantly impacted our democracy and citizens.
Since 1999, one way communism was anathematized is through pension schemes for government employees, a move initiated by the VVP. However, in 2014, the situation dramatically changed with the rise of the Modi government, which spoiled the pension scheme. Today, despite promises and support for Hindus, Modi's administration has failed to provide adequate representation and opportunities, leading to widespread unemployment.
The Current State of Indian Governance
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) under Modi's leadership has not given any protection to Hindus, who have migrated overseas seeking employment opportunities. Additionally, the number of unemployed people in India ranks first among the global democracies, and the media ranks 111 out of 180 countries. BJP and Modi have created numerous problems for the worldwide Hindu community, with RSS words followed by the BJP.
Moreover, the BJP has not allowed Hindus to fight against the BJP due to Modi's disregard for democracy. Even parties like the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) and the National Congress Party have been purchased and shaped by the BJP. No Hindu voters can think, 'Why should we entertain BJP and Modi, even without magic figures? Why appoint them as PM again?'
Modi's Controversial Decisions and Lack of Compensations
The agrarian suicides by farmers have not been cared for by the BJP, and over 40 lakh people have died due to coronavirus. The BJP has not taken any responsibility for these deaths and has not compensated the affected families. Regional parties and philanthropists have taken initiatives to help during the pandemic, but Modi has failed to do so.
During independence, the VVP government restored pensions for government employees, which had been abolished in 2003. However, Modi's government did not follow these policies and instead promoted unemployment. Many videos were created against the Congress and Muslims, and the negative consequences have led to Hindu communities being punished in present-day Pakistan and Bangladesh. Indians working in Christian countries are seen as a result of the lack of employment opportunities in India.
Control Over Judiciary, Executive, and Legislature
The executive, judicial, and legislative systems are under Modi's control. The media has highlighted that the RSS's secular values have been removed. As of 2029, the number of BJP contested candidates decreased, and many_PRODUCER_S left. Maharashtra Sivaraj Singh announced 6,000 to interpassed diploma and 8,000 to 10th and graduation students, as well as 1500 rupees for BPL women and 75 years above senior citizens' RTCs. But now, there is no difference between governors and CMs in the BJP administration.
The Indian community might be spoiled due to communal riots, but we have forgotten the incidents of 1947 and live in a new era. Modism has mesmerized Hindu voters. However, 264 churches were demolished in Manipur when Christians returned them, and the BJP has not provided any opportunities. Even with 2 crores opportunities annually, 15 lakh BPL families women have no chance to get a single rupee. Still, we continuously voice that by 2047, India can provide rice to the world. This claim is inconsistent with the reality of agrarian suicides and lack of aid.
The Indian community faces spoiled democracy values, and agrarian suicides affect this community. Despite former MLA addressing farmers' issues, the government has not taken any specific actions. Additionally, the abolition of 401 crore school-going children breakfast funds and several reservations and senior citizen discounts highlights the failure of the BJP to provide aid.
Controversial Acts and Collusions
The media has frequently highlighted the controversies surrounding the 2024 budget, where no allocation was given to castes. Even as BJP's political life ends soon, informed media advice is crucial. The collection of 7600 crores through electoral bonds is a concern, along with several black malle translators. Many BJP leaders, including 223 MPs, have faced judicial actions in Parliament. Furthermore, IAS, IPS, and IFFIC officers are affected, and they are also involved in corruption. Even the election commission, at a district level, is not free from corruption, as mentioned by Hab's statements.
It is important to maintain unity and diversity in the Indian community and not differentiate among religions, regions, or caste. We must critically examine the administration and ensure that the values of freedom and democracy are upheld.
