INDEPENDENCE DAY

Hi, Friends!
On the eve of the Independence Day I convey on you my best wishes. HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY Six decades have gone since we got independence from the yoke of English rule. We are a rapidly growing economy in the world. We managed ourselves to be almost free from the effect of global regression. Yet, the scenario is not in the mode what was expected and what was our goal described in our preamble to the constitution.

My biggest concern is the mammoth gap between the two sections of society often termed as India and Bharat. Some are affluent and living a lavish life style, on the other hand some are living (rather creeping like creatures) in miserable conditions. For them the enormous challenge is just to make their both ends meet. This is really an agonising factor for us that just less than ten percent of us are holding more than ninety percent of the wealth of the country. Though abound in resources, poor country is India, this perturbs me a lot. Where are the values and targets for the social justice, economic justice and political justice...etcI would give a simple example whither Indian socialism is going. An honest Indian Revenue Services officer shall earn just 1.8 Cr rupees in his entire service ( if I assume his average salary 50000/-per month for thirty years ) on the other hand there are many Shahrukhs , Tendulkars ,Mayavatis, Ambanis who pays Income tax every year many fold the entire life time earnings of IRS officer. Have a glance on following Para.

ShahRukh Khan is the top taxpayer among actors; he paid Rs 34.2 crore as income tax in 2007-08 and came at number 13 among top tax payers. Similarly, Akshay Kumar with Rs 13.5 crore as income tax ranks 40th in the list, on the other hand cricketer Sachin Tendulkar with payment of Rs 8.8cr as tax has been ranked at 81 in the top-200. Aamir Khan paid Rs 4.72 crore to ITI am frightened to imagine the situation of forlorn poor fellow citizens. Friends, you just spare few momentous moments of you busy life and mull over on such burning issues our country is pierced with.

I request you to go through a poem of APSD “FAATIHE PAR” In this poem he has tried to raise the concerns of India on footpath pavements. Any way .......plethoras of things are to share with you ...but ... it’s enough for now.... I shall be immensely satisfied if I had raked even a single neurone of your brain....

LONG LIVE OUR COUNTRY LONG LIVE OUR DEMOCRACY

कविता -'फातिहे पर'
शाम ,
डूबते सूरज ने देखी थी
मेरे चूल्हे पर
पतली पतीली में हलचलें ,
आवारा कुतिया की
आस भरी ताकती नज़रें.
रात को ,
फटे कम्बल में झांक कर
मेरी घरवाली का मैला जिस्म
चाँदनी में देख कर
कुटिल चाँद मुस्कुराता है .
मेरा बच्चा अपनी माँ के
शुष्क स्तन से
रक्त के दूध में बदलने की आस
में ममता की
आखरी बूँद चूसता है .
इधर कारवां कारों का
गुज़रता रहता है मुसलसल
कांपता रहता है
ठण्ड में ठिठुर कर
मेरे बोझ को ढापता कम्बल .
श्रीमान , मेरा घर
सड़क के हाशिए पर है
और मेरी रूह
मेरे जिस्म के फातिहे पर है .
