74 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE: ARE WE REALLY FREE AND INDEPENDENT?

 

India got its independence on 15^th August 1947 from the rule of the British empire. It has been almost 74 years since our nation got independence. Our ancestors fought a true battle and did many sacrifices to gain independence from British rule. India was ruled by Britishers for almost 200 years and they drained the wealth of our country extravagantly. In this topic, I will mainly cover the facts about unemployment.

ARE WE REALLY FREE AND INDEPENDENT?

We maybe called free and independent but actually speaking we are still the slaves of unemployment, casteism, poverty, and health. People having any such problem is still a slave, so we too are slaves. In India, we have these problems but no government tries to eliminate the same. Corruption in India has grown to its apex and this corruption is going on in large government institutions. So, we are not really free and independent.

WHAT HAPPENED TO VACANCY OF RAILWAY NTPC?

In the year 2018, the government of India released the vacancy details for Railway RRB NTPC exam that was filled by almost two million applicants. The fee of the application was Rs 500 for the general and OBC category whereas Rs 250 for SC/STs. After few months the government declared the decrement of posts in railway RRB NTPC was provided previously. But here is the more dilemma creating situation that the government has still not conducted the exam. It has been almost a year and a half but there is no response from the RRB. Taking fee of Rs500 which was previously only Rs100 and creating such illusions just points out that it is the corruption of large amounts.

WHAT HAPPENED TO STAFF SELECTION COMMISSION (SSC) EXAMS?

SSC is a commission that conducts the examination for post of Group B and C for different government departments. There has always been an issue with SSC, in year 2017 there was a case of mass counterfeit that lead to delay in the result of various SSC examinations. Still the joining of students who were selected in SSC 2017 is pending. Tier III examination of SSC Combined Graduate Level (CGL) 2018 and a result of SSC Multi-Tasking Staff (MTS) 2018 is still pending which should have been declared before. Some of the concerns and there is one larger concern that the vacancy for SSC is continuously decreasing every year in high numbers.

IS OUR GOVERNMENT CONCERN ABOUT UNEMPLOYMENT?

No, government is not concern about the rate of unemployment that has been rising continuously every year because no family, no students, no person shows any concern then why the government would do the same. What is the problem of people of India is that we let everything go on as it has been going on. It is a great fact every change requires a bitter start but none want to give the impetus to that. So, neither the government shows any concerns. 

WHAT CAN YOUTH DO?

India is called a youth country because a total of fifty-five percent of our total population is youth. Though being a youth country we never raise our hand for our own concerns because it needs an effort. If the youth of the country decides to change the government they can do it just by snapping their fingers. We are the one who is facing the problem of unemployment, so it is our duty to raise the hand. Our government has become totally deaf when it comes to unemployment, but now it is our duty to raise concerns about such matters.

We were ruled by Britishers for almost 200 years and it was our youth powers who were also the most important factors in getting the Independence from the English rule. For the Independence of India, youth raised their voice and also sacrificed themselves for it. They bravely fought for their concern until the end of life. Now the youth of our country also required to show the same power because if we can’t fight for our own concerns then we are not worthwhile.

ROLE OF MEDIA

Media is also known as the fourth pillar of any democratic country because it plays a great role in connecting the people to the government. But coming to this era, the media of our country has become full of absurdity and most of them are totally controlled by the government somehow. These days media are busy showing the news that is of no use or concern. The media should act as a receiver of concerns of the public and transmitting it to the government but it has been just the opposite, they are getting propaganda news from the government and transmitting it to the public.

CONCLUSION

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” So, we must put our concerns and ask the government for what is our rights.
