Humne Independence Day manaya. Par azaadi kahan hai?

7 din pehle jhanda lehraya.

Anthem baja.

Speech hui "vikas" aur "azadi" ki.

Humne DP pe tiranga lagaya. Post kiya "Proud to be Indian".

Aur phir wapas wahi zindagi.

Toh sawaal ye hai: Azaadi hai kahan?

1. Kya hum dar se azaad hain?

Har hafte koi na koi news. Koi rape. Koi beti ghar nahi laut paayi.

Hum apni behenon se kehte hain "jaldi ghar aa jana". "Location share karna".

Ye azaadi hai? Apne hi sheher me dar ke jeena?

Azaadi ka matlab ye hona chahiye ki ek ladki raat ko akele bus le sake.

"Na" bolna kaafi ho.

Hum abhi wahan nahi pahunche.

2. Kya hum berozgari se azaad hain?

Ek haath me degree. Dusre haath me resume. Aur inbox me rejection.

Engineer cab chala raha hai. Post-graduate chowkidar ki job ke liye form bhar raha hai.

"Young India" bolte hain, par kaam nahi dete.

Azaadi ka matlab ye hona chahiye ki padhai ke baad izzat ki naukri mile.

EMI ke liye nahi, sapno ke liye kaam karein.

Kitne log abhi bhi us azaadi ka wait kar rahe hain.

3. Kya hum gareebi aur majboori se azaad hain?

Metro se 10 min door chale jao. Wahi sachai dikhegi.

Traffic signal pe pen bechta bacha. Ek kamre me 5 log. Buzurg sochte hain dawa lein ya khana.

Aur hum TV pe GDP discuss kar rahe hain.

Azaadi ka matlab ye hona chahiye ki koi bhooka na soye.

Kisan ko khudkhushi na karni pade.

Mazdoor bimaar pade toh ilaaj kara sake.

Jab tak ye nahi hota, hum "sabke liye azaadi" kaise bol sakte hain?

Toh kya bas rona hai? Nahi.

Deshbhakti sirf 15 August ko jhanda lehrayana nahi hai.

Asli deshbhakti sawaal poochna hai.

Azaadi ek din ka jashn nahi thi.

Ye roz nibhane wala waada tha.

Waada ki auraton ko suraksha milegi.

Waada ki har haath ko kaam milega.

Waada ki sabse pichle bande ko pehle uthayenge.

Shaheed isliye nahi hue the ki hum saal me ek baar DP badal dein.

Wo isliye gaye the taaki har Hindustani izzat se jee sake.

Jhanda azaad hai. Kya hum hain?
