Indian Sub-Continent – Independence Day Celebration 2014

August 16, 2014

By Padmini Arhant

Independence day celebrations in Pakistan on August 14 and India on August 15 provides opportunity to reflect on the journey traveled since patriots’ martyrdom.

National governance representative of mainstream population viz. the middle class, lower income, poorest of the poor, marginalized, ostracized and disenfranchised in society would constitute republic status rather than the rich, famous and powerful class prevalent dominance.

The system represented by political parties with power sharing among family members conforming to dynasty rule and other factions headed by celebrities from the entertainment and economic sectors for decades denying genuine people voice is far from being democratic besides contributing to the widening gap between the haves and have-nots in the country.

Notwithstanding the domestic and foreign interests groups control further exacerbates suffering and undermine sovereignty.

India and Pakistan citizens are deprived of fairness and equality in the ever increasing foreign influence and intrusion in politics, military and economic decisions promoting subjugation and polarization to benefit hegemony.

Both nations are also confronted with economic woes, security concerns related to preventable cross border tensions, terrorism and widespread violence prohibiting peaceful co-existence.

Another important factor arguably remaining major hindrance in rapid growth and development is corruption, tax evasion and wealth amassment.

The deposits in overseas bank accounts, tax havens and shelter cost taxpayers trillions of dollars that could otherwise eliminate abject poverty, curable disease and illiteracy in addition to building and improving infrastructure.

In the absence of transparency and accountability due to complicity amongst political establishment, the epidemic of corruption depleting national treasury facilitates black money circulation and money laundering through diverse means especially during election ironically declared as free and fair process.

Furthermore, those involved in corruption deals and scandals continue to make fortune at the vast majority expense. The entities are protected with immunity legitimizing their activities despite significant loss to the economy.

Utilizing political position as Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA), Member of Parliament (MP) in the lower or upper house and higher up in the hierarchy they are exempt from judicial probe and appropriate applications of the law that apparently exists only for average citizens nationwide.

Politics intolerance to alternative perspectives and constructive dialogue confirms insecurity not to mention the measures to curb authentic dynamism demonstrates subversion of democracy.

The lack of political will to serve the nation and electorate granting power evident in the stagnant or deteriorating conditions experienced by people across the spectrum.

The economic trend within affluent category restricts the possibility for pervasive progress.

National advancement leaving behind none would guarantee sustainable prosperity.

The contemporary setting premised on exploitation and segregation jeopardizes economic potential considering the impact on collective output.

India and Pakistan relationship as allies instead of adversaries is essential for economic trade, cultural exchange and importantly addressing terror infiltration or militancy in Kashmir and other parts of the country.

Regional friction unnecessarily creates problems with divestments in defense budget alongside declining basic necessities like clean water, air, health care, education, housing, agriculture and employment.

Remembering freedom fighters would be meaningful upon fulfilling the dreams they envisioned for the nation. Such accomplishments would honor their sacrifice.

Best Wishes to citizens in India and Pakistan in reaching milestones with ordinary people empowerment leading to a promising future.

Peace to all!

Thank you.

Palestine – Gaza War

Dear Citizens,

You are invited to tune in to audio version on the topic discussion – Palestine – Gaza War.

The content is also available in the article below. 

Thank you for your attention and interest.

————————————————————————————————————————–

Palestine – Gaza War

Israeli aggression against citizens in Gaza – the warfare in the past 29 days has claimed many civilian lives with children being the majority among them. 

Israeli attacks resulted in more than 1600 casualties and at least 5000 wounded.

Israeli authorities relentless assault on defenseless Gazans cannot be justified regardless of Israel’s allies and media surrogates explanation to international community.

The leaderships in Israel, United States and Britain bear responsibility for the deaths and destruction in Gaza.

The allies defending Israel’s air strikes for nearly a month ignore Israel’s war crimes and human rights violation.

 The war in Gaza is facilitated by United States and other allies military aid to Israel.

United States taxpayer funds allocated for monetary aid amounting to $ 3 billion besides free supply of innovative defense stockpiles to Israel allow use of force on Gaza.

Furthermore, the lack of accountability promotes violence and authorities behind atrocities are evidently granted political impunity.

Any indictments in this regard are selective and isolate nations that are perceived as adversaries while allies such as Israel regularly protected from accepting responsibility.

Since the establishment of Israel in 1948, the invasion in 1967 and subsequently subjugation of Palestine lasting over seven decades confirms world failure to restore fairness and justice.

The permanent members with veto power at the United Nations Security Council remain oblivious to Israel’s air raids and shelling of Gaza.

Had the major powers expressed genuine concern and acted accordingly in expediting ceasefire instead of defending Israel’s military action,

The loss of lives could have been prevented and the population would have received emergency medical assistance especially the severely injured children and women in this unjust and disproportionate military combat situation.

Israel targeting Gaza University, UN school and even hospital in this warfare demonstrates Israel’s contempt for Palestinian lives denying them basic needs for survival.

Israel’s unilateral blockade on Gaza has caused many fatalities and immense human suffering on international watch and compliance.

The Mideast peace process derailed due to controversial settlement activity in West Bank and al Quds, East Jerusalem along side Israel’s persecution of Palestinians not even sparing minors as young as ten and eleven years old is a sign of desperation to prolong oppression.

Whenever invaders as oppressors exceed limits in their abuse of power, the self-destructive course backlash on them conforming to reaping what one sow in life.

The nuclear state Israel involvement in reckless activities using Gaza as launch pad for Israel’s weapons backfiring at Israel is imminent.

The inevitable event upon continuation of status quo could endanger Israel’s existence and such occurrence would entirely be attributed to Israel’s counterproductive strategy.

Israel’s security and stability is directly linked with peaceful reconciliation ending the occupation in Palestine.

The global society recognition of Palestinian statehood as sovereign entity with privileges and rights similar to countries worldwide is paramount for human civilization and progress.

Global peace and freedom is possible when every nation enjoys equal respect and opportunity critical for survival and sustaining territorial integrity.

Palestinians could no longer be suppressed for their resistance against colonization.

Israel’s acknowledgment of Palestinian rights and independence would guarantee Israel’s identity and destiny.

I convey my sincere condolences to victims’ families and wish the wounded speedy recovery.

May God bless Palestinians in reclaiming their homeland bringing the political struggle to conclusion.

Peace to Palestine!

Peace to all!

Thank you.
