Hello everyone..
It has been around a week since we celebrated our independence day... feeling all patriotic and we celebrated it with complete enthusiasm... But the question i need to ask you today is... 'Are you Proud to be an Indian? Really?'
Everyday i switch on my television and switch to news while having dinner.. (Me not a news person :P) and all i see is: a women being raped, people being killed, corruptions, economy crises and what not... not a single positive news.... With India's increasing crime rate, corruption and degrading economy... India's current reputation is nothing to be proud off.
As it a sensitive issue i will restrain myself to just listing the headlines from leading news portals and leave the rest to your sense of understanding...
News Headlines from Past One Week:
Now people reading this blog will think I'm against India and completely ignoring the positive side and highlighting only the negative elements... for them i must say this blog is a wake up call... Preaching about the good deeds we have done in the past won't gain us anything but mending our ways to deal and correct the negative side will definitely bring a change which is very much required by our nation at this moment.

With this blog neither i post my
own opinion nor I will encourage you to revolt. All i want you is to ask
yourself... Is this the India you wanted? Are your children and women
safe? Where we went wrong? and what should we do to mend this? I know
all of you have answers to these... Be honest with yourself and do what
you thought could mend this... India will Shine for sure..!
