Things which you said - about govt. putting restrictions on your personal freedom - I think it happens NOT everyday but ONLY when govt. declares Emergency in country ( which hasn't happened since Indira Gandhi's regime as per my understanding) (Now dont say - asking u to change ur traffic routes in case some president or prime minister arrived in CITY - is restricting ur freedom. I do agree it creates lot of inconvenience to everyone but thats how indians are suppose to distinguish between VIP and common man ) My point is - There are always loop holes in system and u have to figure out on your own - how to use them legitimately for your own benefit and now..............to expect everyone to do that -  first ppl need to be aware of those loopholes. I like your posts but I wish you could have emphasised more on solution part of this issue rather than discussing the issue in length ( which I believe everyone is already aware of) e.g. How to curb corruption rate in govt. officials?-- Effective Use of RTI ( Right to Information) act.I agree its not full-proof solution to completely stop corruption but this surely put pressures on govt. officials to remain accountable and transparent  in their line of work if ppl using RTI to keep a tab on them.   Another could be PIL which is filed in SC or HC by most awakened individual ( yeah thats wht I call him/her becuase of their sensitivity to issues impacting public's life).  I think in democracy u have to accept govt. with its all flaws.Also, the idea of changing existing govt. with another one will not make any difference.

Independence? I am afraid these words will never stop to haunt us. I believe it would have been better if the English rule was for 100 more years. At least then they would've thrashed all hopes of a partition. The world would've been a better place. Cheers!! PS:  You visited my blog after a long time. Have you changed or you were not yourself when you came there? :-s I wonder. Well whatever it was. It was for the good. Freedom? Independence? I am afraid these words will never stop to haunt us.

Then we were ruled by the British, now by power hungry politicians. We never really got the freedom. Then we were ruled by the British, now by power hungry politicians.
