Put an end to 26th January’s Republic Day parade!

Republic day 26^th January is the day our Constitution came into effect in 1950. Our Constitution is aspiration of Indian people; it inspires us to achieve our goals which are nothing but overall development of India and its people.

Constitution was bought into effect to set our goals and inspire us to achieve those goals. The 26^th January 1950 was obviously a great day and was to be celebrated. Why do we celebrate it with parades now? Have we achieved our goals? Are we at least in right direction at right velocity, have we covered the proportional distance? If no, what reason we are left with to show pomp and take out costly parades?

Constitution nowhere states celebration of 26^th January through costly parade as fundamental duty! We should appeal to Honourable Supreme Court to interpret the constitution and justify whether costly and pomp parade are in confirmation with ethos of our Constitution considering our current needs?

Vast amount of money is spent and gigantic amount of security is imposed which too adds to the cost for a two/ three hour parade, which people these day don’t even watch on DD Channel, is not appropriate specifically when we compare our national parameters with other countries’ and find ours nowhere in comparison with theirs, ie: GDP, GNP, HDI, Gini etc.

Celebration for sake of just a convention is not worthy when we have a tiresome journey ahead and we have been laggards all these years since 1950. Other countries do the pomp show and they too have serious problems but do we compare our proportion of expense and our basic needs and problems with theirs?

I dream of a government which will bring an end to pomp parades and wastage of money on security and arrangement of an event which doesn’t raise our national average index of people’s quality of life. Since, 1950 up to now what we should have been and what we are, no reasons are left with us for such pomp.

I dream of a government which comes to the conclusion that we seriously need infrastructures and not parades as gifts of our consecutive Republic days. I dream of a government which comes to conclusion that the vast amount of money which is spent on organization of pomp parades and security could be used for much better cause towards achievement of our goals as set in Constitution.

I dream of a government which gifts us with world class best of the time Hospitals in isolated areas of country (ie: North-East India) as Republic day gifts year by year. I dream of a government which establishes best of their time Medical, Engineering, IT, agricultural, Law colleges and universities as Republic day’s gift to nation on yearly basis.

I dream of a government which establishes power stations, airports, sea ports, manufacturing zones, corporate parks, I dream of a government which erects new highways, railways, stations as gift for Republic days. A hungry man doesn’t need balloons and fireworks as gifts on his birthday he simply needs some breads, there could be no better gift than bread for a hungry man on his birthday.

I dream of a government which recognizes that putting more infrastructures in metropolises would intensify density of population in metropolises and that developing infrastructures in isolated and neglected regions would be pivotal for overall development of India.

To say is awesome, but where would the money come from? The same money which is spent on costly parades and tremendous security should be diverted to develop infrastructures. One may say that developing infrastructure would be very expensive than arranging parades, but a proportional amount of infrastructure with the money used for parades could be developed very well. For sure on just 10^th consecutive Republic day once we undertake this practice; India would be a changed country.

To flutter our own flag in our own country doesn’t cause money to be spent. A simple ceremony by President and Governors would be best course of action considering what our present constrains are towards our development.

I dream of a government which would surely consider the above stuffs. 

Hindi me: 26 January ki parade ko khatam kiya jaaye! 

26 January ki parade ko khatam kiya jaaye!

26^th January ko hamara sanwidhan/ aayin lagu hua tha 1950 me. Hamara qanun hamari ummid hae, wo hume aage badhne aur apni manzil pane ke liye jagata hae, ye manzil sirf aur sirf India aur uske logo ka har tarah ka development hi hae.

Qanun sirf isi liye lagu kiya gaya ke hum apni manzil pata kare aur ose hasil karne ke liye aage badhe. 26 january 1950 both bada din tha aur uski khushiya manana bhi zaruri tha. Par hum aaj kis baat ki khushiya manate hae parade nikal kar? Kya hume apni manzil mil gayi? Kya hum sahi direction me chal rahe hae, kya humko jitna safar tay karna tha kar liya? Agar nahi to phir hume ye mehengi parade kyu organize karni chahiye?

Constitution me kahi bhi nahi likha hae ke 26 january ko mehengi parade nikalna fundamental duty hae! Hume Honourable Supreme court se appeal karni chahiye ke wo constitution ke provisions ke sahi meanings bataye aur ye tay kare ke kya mehengi parades constitution ke hisaab aur time ki zarurat ke hisaab in dono ke hisab se sahi hae?

Boht zyada paisa kharch kiya jaata hae aur both sari security ka bandobast karna padhta hae jiska kharch bhi kaafi hota hae sirf do/ tin ghante ki parade par, jise ab log DD Channel par dekhte bhi nahi hae, ye sab sahi nahi hae, tab jabke hamara mulk dusre mulko se both piche hae, jaise ke: GDP, GNP, HDI, Gini waghaera ke ranks me.

Sirf ek riwaaj bana kar itna celebration karna sahi nahi hae, jabke hamare samne both lamba rasta abhi tay karna baqi hae, aur hum pehle hi both piche rahe hae 1950 se le kar aaj tak. Dusre mulk bhi mehengi parade nikalte hae aur unke paas bhi apni serious problem hoti hae. Hamari parade to unke barabar ki hoti hae par kya unke problems hamare problems ke barabar hae?

Kaash koi aesi sarkar aaye jo parade ko khatam kare jisme boht paisa saath hi saath uski security par bhi both paisa kharch ho jata hae, jisse aam Indian ki life bhi nahi sudharti. 1950 se aaj tak hume kaha pohoch jana chahiye tha aur hum kaha reh gaye, ab hamare liye aesi parade par kharcha karna band kar dena hi sahi hae.

Kaash koi aesi sarkar aaye jo is natije par pohche ke hume saal dar saal bade bade developments gift dene chahiye Mulk ke logo ko naaki parade. Kaash koi aesi sarkar aaye jo is natije par pohch sake ke itni zyada daulat sirf parade ke upar aur uski security ke upar kharch karne se acha developments par kharch ki jaye to jo manzil India ka Qanun batata hae uski taraf ek acha qadam hoga.

Kaash koi aesi sarkar aaye jo hume apne time ke best hospitals bana kar dey sake wo bhi mulk ke pichde hue ilaqo me jaese ke North East India, Republic day ke gift me saal dar saal. Kaash koi aesi sarkar aaye jo best medical, engineering, IT, agricultural, law colleges aur universities bana kar dete rahe Republic day gift me saal dar saal.

Kaash koi aesi sarkar aaye jo power stations, airports, sea ports, manufacturing zones aur corporate parks banaye, koi aesi sarkar jo naye naye highways, railways, stations gifts dey Republic day ke din. Kisi bhuke insaan ko uski birthday ke din phugge aur patahko ka gift nahi chahiye hota hae ose roti chahiye hoti hae, bhuke insaan ke liye roti se acha birthday gift ho hi nahi sakta.

Kaash koi aesi sarkar ho jo ye samjhe ke zarurat se zyada development sirf bade shehro me hi karte rahne se bade shehro ki aabaadi badh jaati hae, aur ye bhi samajh sake ke development agar pichde ilaqo me kiye jaye to pore India ka development ho sakega.

Bolna boht aasan hae, par itna paisa aayega kaha se? Jo paisa mehengi parade aur parade ki security par kharch kiya jata hae ose development me liya jaa sakta hae. Koi keh sakta hae ke jis development ki baat ki jaa rahi hae osse both sasta hi hota hae ye parade nikal lena, magar jitne paiso me ye parade nikali jati hai aur unki security ki jati hae utne paiso me jitna development ho sakta hae utna to kiya jaa sakta hae. Yaqinan sirf das saal tak, saal dar saal agar hum aesa karne me qamyaab ho gaye to India ek alag hi mulk ban jaaye ga.

Apne hi mulk me apna ki jhanda lagana koi mehenga kaam nahi hae. Ek simple function me President aur Governors Jhanda faeraye to ye both achi baat hogi aese waqt me jab humare samne boht se zaruri kaam karne abhi tak baqi hi hae.

Kaash koi aesi sarkar aaye jo aesa kuch soch sake.
