Today is Independence Day. And, I wonder what sort of a country we will be leaving behind for our children. A country split apart by terrorism, and communalism, by huge economic disparities, by moral schisms in which role models are at a premium, where our prominent constitutional authority can be partially bought by a wad of notes, where government employees are being paid crores while inflation soars above 12% with ease... Or will we leave a country of Growth and Prosperity, slated to be the World's richest economy by 2030, a country of education and art and culture unmatched by anybody in the world, well connected by roads ,with copious air and rail links, full of power supplied from nuclear energy, where all communities live in harmony and peace...
The choice is with us. Individually if we strive to be a little better worker every day, more caring for our country and its environment, more rigid against fanaticism and terrorism, we can make India the perfect example of "Ask not what the country will do for you,ask what you can do for your country".
Jai Hind.

Agree with you that each one of us have to take action. Hypocritical talk will be of no use.

Independence Day holidays are meant for pondering as well as for celebrating....It's nice to know some people think in the same way...
