Slavery

India is an independent and democratic country!!!!!!!


The biggest lie I would say.


First of all we supposedly won our INDEPENDENCE from the Brits(Goras for ease of use, man I like to use that term) but looking back, we actually never won any independence. Instead of taking direct orders from them we are taking indirect orders. India used to be dependent on agriculture, I say used to be may be in terms of contribution to GDP it still is, but where does all the big buck come from?


IT industry!!!! not to blame the industry as such since it has given job opportunity for most of us on MS(i guess) and has supported the growth of other service sectors in the country, indirectly increasing the consumption, leading to import of more and more goods from other countries.


Look at the trend now, it is shocking to see that India is again excessively dependent on the same Goras for employment, food, commodities, defense systems, specialized education(in research)Power technology, and what not, doesnt this raise the question "Are we really independent?" Is it because of our internal government policy? is it because we are not self sufficient? is it because of the so called globalization? Very oftern we see that the goras are threatening the country with consequences if we do not follow their order, they may sound polite, they may coin it to appear as a "Friendly Request", but in reality it is an order!!! It hurt me a great deal when india surrendered its freedom to test nuclear weapons in exchange of power technology, when all the sceintists from the BABA atomic station were crying for the government's attention to a technology superior to one that was being provided by the goras, worst thing is the clause to periodically inspect our facilities. India alone is required to be an open book, that to by the goras who have the maximum number of nuclear weapons(and weapons of all sorts). Didnt the government feel that it was losing its independence/freedom?


Being in the IT industry myself, I suffer all sorts of humiliation in workplace, being ridiculed by goras who are not even as intelligent as your hair is, not lending a ear to better ways of doing things, promoting people on illogical basis, and giving a strange reason for not promoting you. Instance, "i will recruit a manager, who will ensure that you become a manger within few months" ever seen such a statement from a top guy within the same function?


Yes, that is the instance which made me feel that I had lost my independence/ freedom. After all that I heard and after all that I had to go through in the Gora hell, I could do nothing, I needed money, I had commitments, I had already fallen into the trap and had to keep quiet, made me feel that I was a Slave in the pre-independence India, who was paid a pittance to do an elephants job!!!


Am sure you guys have gone through similar situations!!! Did the question of "Are we really independent?" ever strike you?


Cheers!!!
