INDIA UnMute

6o years back, a salute of 21 guns and the unfurling of Indian tri-colour by Dr. Rajendra Prasad harbingered the historic birth of The Republic of India on 26th January 1950. The transition of India from a British colony to a sovereign, secular, socialist republic was indeed historical. The number of battles fought, the number of lives lost and the number of sacrifices made were innumerable and will always remain untold. It was a long journey of around two decades that started with the conceptualization of dream in 1930 to its actual realization in 1950.
Recently we celebrated out 64th Independence Day and in every walk of our journey till this 64th year we have found that Indians were on the top. Many westerns, who have seen India, call it a continent. The reason being, there is hardly any country in the world with so much diversity. There is a unique sensation in every street of India which cannot be felt in any other country across this globe. Indian has left indelible imprints on one fourth of the human race in the course of a long succession of centuries. India has the right to reclaim her place amongst the greatest nations summarizing and symbolizing the spirit of humanity. From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, from Tirupati to Jama Masjid, from Golden Temple in Amritsar to The Syro-Malabar Church in Kerala, India has propagated her beliefs, her tradition, her tales and her civilization.
INDIA UnMute is an archetype of all that is true, beautiful and uncensored. The splendor that was India and the potential that is India will fuse together to form a picture which will portray my thoughts into words. INDIA UnMute is perfect intermingling of the old and the new, spiritual and material, urban and rural, religious and cultural, scientific and technological.
Many challenges have come our way but each time we have outperformed above our expectations. But looking at the present state of affairs, we have been recurrently followed by flaws and blemishes. Few things are omnipresent in our nation. Illiteracy, beggary, corruption and deceitfulness are few concepts which have coexisted with our success stories. We say we are free but we are not free from Illiteracy. We are not free from corruption. We are still under the clutches of some power hungry leaders who are bickering. We still live in a nation state where the salary hike of MP’s are 300% and still they are demanding for more. We live in a kingdom where over 200 railway accidents takes place just in a span of 14months. We live in a nation where 13.26% of total MP’s in our parliament are not even class 10 pass. We call it a nation where transparence is still not a buzzword for governance. We live in a country which is guided more by the stars and the fate and less by dynamic men who are expected to write their own fate.
An all round development of the human personality for the achievement of perfection of the each human body, mind and soul is still a dream for us to cherish. We are still in the hunt of that day when the mind will be without fear and head will be held high, when the people will be virtuous and prosperous, when there will be no distinction between people and people, when truth, non-violence, virtue, high caliber, moral values and above all integrity of character will be the hallmark of Indian society, when there will be human beings without the tag of Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Black, White and Browns who will leave for the cause of humanity, when educational institutions will no longer be a playground for dirty politics, nepotism, cliques and international rivalries, when our respected MP’s will fight for the commoners and not for salaries, when films and other audio-visual media of mass communication will entertain and education people and will no more vulgarize life, when crimes, criminals, theft and anti-social elements will b unknown to the society, when the ground of politics will only be a platform for social service and welfare of the people of the country and above all when all Indians will have same bank balance, when mankind and humanity will live in a spirit of friendship, love, fraternity and peaceful coexistence.
INDIA UnMute has been written upon the fundamental processes at work, within the Indian society and for whose realizations, many like me, are committed to the last drop of their blood. We dream of a day when our motherland would be the best example of peace, sedate, prosperity, progress, evolution and brotherly co-existence to the whole world.
