66th Independence Day : May Our Dream of a new tomorrow come true to us, India should win its war against corruption

On 15 August 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of free India, addressed the Constituent Assembly. In his famous speech, Tryst with Destiny, he declared the end of the colonial era and called on citizens to recognize the promise and opportunity of the moment:
                                
                                     "Long Years ago,
                                      We made a Tryst with Destiny,
                                      Now the Time has come,
                                      When we shall Redeem our Pledge,
                                       not wholly or in full measure-
                                       But very Substantially.
                                      At the Stroke of the midnight Hour,
                                      When the World Sleeps,
                                      India will Awake to Life and Freedom.
                                      A moment comes,but Rarely in history,
                                      When we step out from the old to the new,
                                      When an age ends,and when the soul of nation,
                                       Long suppress,finds utterance,"
                              

On August 15, 1947, India won its independence from the British rule, and that independence is celebrated every year, although in a much more subdued form than on Republic Day. The Independence Day of India is much more than commemorating the anniversary of India’s free statehood. It is a moment of celebration, a day to pay tribute to the martyrs because of whose struggle and sacrifice we are breathing an air of freedom. "At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom," said Jawaharlal Nehru about this, one of the most important days in the history of the Indian nation.

Independence Day is acknowledged as a national holiday in India. This year, India will celebrate its 66th 

Independence Day.

QUESTION will arise after 66th year of Independence what we got ?

As I remember whether it is true or fiction story but saying goes as: 

In 1954 when our first prime minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was going by open jeep from MIT(Muzaffarpur Institute of Technology) to sikandrpur maidan,Muzaffarpur for speech. On the way a poor people shouted - "O pandit Nehru,O pandit Nehru"

Mr. Nehru order the security to call that man and asked him what he to say, the poor fellow said "India got Freedom and you became the P.M  but still I'm poor what did I get" ?

Mr. Nehru replied, "kaya yehi kam mila ki tum ek P.M se aise bat kar rahe ho wo bhi jeep rukwa kar (is it not sufficient that you are talking before a P.M to stop a jeep ? )"

Poor man immediately touched his feet and said : pleased pardon me, I got everything..

But now a days we are facing :

Over 60% of respondents listed 'corruption' as the biggest threat facing India today, and 80% supported the Anna Hazare-led campaign to fight graft. Opinion is more divided on what they'd do if asked to pay a bribe. While 35% said they would not pay and 'walk away quietly', 34% stated they would lodge a complaint. But a sizeable 28% admitted they'd pay up. Only Bangalore, with 69% saying they'd pay a bribe, appeared to skew towards a majority tolerating corruption in some way.

But most young Indians agree on making corruption a serious offence. Almost two-thirds felt life imprisonment should be awarded to those found guilty.

Interestingly, when asked what India's greatest achievement in the last decade was, respondents, surprisingly, gave short shrift to the country's globally feted march to economic superstardom; just as they did to our much vaunted telecom revolution. The decade's big moment for them was clearly Team India's emphatic cricket World Cup victory.

Little surprise then that young urban India's biggest icon is Sachin Tendulkar; 31% pointed to him when asked who their role model was. Anna Hazare, who appears to have really caught young India's imagination, comes (a distant) second, with Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan next. Rahul Gandhi is fifth on the list.

When asked what the most important right/freedom is, most respondents chose 'the right to live and work anywhere in India', with this pipping free speech, the 'right to vote' and 'freedom of religion'.

Our’s is a wonderful nation with ample natural, human resources. We are a developed nation. However, why is that we face this problem of Corruption in several levels of the society. Why is that we cannot have a corrupt free nation. Why should our hardwork payed in terms of taxes go into the pockets of some shameless, waste officers and so called politicians. If we have the capability to EARN we should have the capability to PROTECT , what we earn. To set everything right. We need to have strict laws. Let us support Shri Anna Hazare in this aspect. He is advocating for a Bil, The Lok Pal Bill (The Citizen Ombudsman Bill), that will form an autonomous authority who will make politicians (ministers), beurocrats (IAS/IPS) accountable for their deeds.
