What Is India...A Nation on papers?
India a country of Diversity & 7th largest country as well as the largest Democratic Country in
The world with her 28 states & 8 Union Territories which is known to the maximum number of Indians. But the question is, are we the citizen really becomes an Indian or we r just belongs to the various religion or community {Gujrati, Marathi, Bihari etc.}. According to various official papers yes we are Indians, from Passport to Pan Card but what reality says ..! its totally a different picture. Some Political parties are claiming as All India Political Parties but their base of Politics is Religion since 1947 , or many parties in India established based on local languages or local communities which doesn't suit to our country's history as we fought together against the British from Balochistan to Nagaland or from Kashmir to Kanyakumari under the leadership of Subhash Ch. Bose, Rash Behari Bose, Chandra Sekhar Azad, Asfaq Ullah Khan,Surya Sen or some writers such as Rabindra Nath Tagore, Kaji Nazrul Islam, Bankim Ch. Chattapadhyay , Subramania Bharati. Is India Independent as a Nation or only as we see the Map of India & thats all..! I hereby wrote the previous sentence because we are Indians only at the time of India - Pakistan Cricket Match or at the time of World Cup Cricket. Our article no 14,15 & 16 says against discrimination but the ground reality is totally different, aam citizens r treated as a 2nd class citizen in One word its VIP Culture if you hold a political portfolio which means you deserve everything. Now comes to religion which always being treated as only vote banks and my question rises here only that if 42nd Amendment of the Constitution of India asserted that India is a Secular country than why our various Govt. forms, I-cards, recruitment forms asks the question from which religion we belong & whether SC/ST/OBC. Our Freedom Fighters fought for United India & perfect example of secularism is INA or Azad Hind Army though after partition nobody is interested on our nationality but on our religion.
So,the question to all Indians that you should raise your voice and ask the Govt. to remove the Column of religion, our nationality & religion should be in one column & that is Indian or Bharatiya.
