Who says we are independent?

We boast of our status being the largest democracy in the world. But the fact is not exactly what we show in pen and paper. We still have 2 classes in the society as was during the rule of Britishers, Moghuls and other invaders. We do not have groups of SHASHAK(the rulers) and SASHITA(The ruled) but the SHOSHAK(the exploiters) and SHOSHITA(the exploited).

Someone who does not use a helmet while riding a 2 wheeler or one who touches the zebra crossing at traffic squares is fined as per rules. But those who carry deadly weapons and kill people mercilessly without discrimination are allowed to move freely and do whatever they wish. A person who is honest is put to a number of troubles at every steps as he can not please the concerned person by offering bribe for petty matters but a dishonest man manages to get anticipatory bail when he is caught by the vigilance for all his misdeeds. It is my personal experience which may sound unbelievable to most of the persons. I was badly injured in a road accident and turned orthopaeodically handicapped in the year 1988. A case claiming compensation of Rs.1.5 lakhs with the MACT was filed within a week. But my case is yet to be settled after 22 years. I was made to believe that I have to pay a certain amount to the concerned persons out of the compensation amount. As I refused to oblige them my case is still in the condition of TRISHANKU. My question is this that there must be someone in the office who discharges the duty as the overall in charge. Is it not his moral duty to see what for my case is not settled till now? This is just a handful of sand out of the vast sea shore on the country. One can very well imagine how and why people are deprived of justice in this country. Some of my friends advised me to meet the higher authorities in the case. But I know that the higher I go the amount of commission to be paid would be on the rise. In spite of this we continue to singing in praise of our democracy and raise slogans like MERA BHARAT MAHAN. I agree that our BHARAT is definitely MAHAN but with our rotten behaviour we are spoiling the name of the country. I must add here that some of my friends who are connected with the profession of journalism also did not take any interest to highlight the matter. Please think are we really independent till now?
