At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to reformation, to renaissance, to progress, to prosperity, to love, to power, to brilliance, to harmony, to sanity and to peace. At this stroke of midnight hour let’s awake to a New India. We are corrupt – Yeah! Our economy is in shambles – Agreed! Neighbors are threatening yes – Of course! Our leaders are apathetic to our problems – I hear that too! But are we a pure diamond? Are we a pack of civilized people out to change the world? Are we incorruptible? Are we sane? Are we out of misconceptions? Are we perfect? "No. I am not." "And you?" We are as imperfect as our country is. So at the pass of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps let’s wake up to perfection. I love my religion, I am proud of my color, I respect my community. But is that it? I am a Christian, so would a Christian leader understand my problem always? I am a Hindu, would I rule over all? I am a Muslim so would I be blinded by what the fanatics around me preach? Would I let them create states and sub-states out of my country. Would I let hatred come over on the basis of identities? "No!" This 15th of August, I will say no to dogma, I will say no to false beliefs and no to misconceptions. I will spit at the beards of the self proclaimed god-men. I will say yes to logic, to sense and to my own self. I make the society. The society makes a state and the states make a country. "If I improve, I will improve the country." Happy Independence day!
