Its the 60th Republic day and we are celebrating the 60th year of our existence as a democracy.. I feel we are quite a young nation and I am just not pointing at the average age of the Indians which I suppose is somewhere around 25.1 [quite young, we must admit] but I was talking about the age of the Nation as whole.. As a democratic government..
No doubt that ours is a 5000 year old civilization but we have also spent some 200 years as a slave Nation.. We Indians take great pride in our culture and civilization but still some of the newly found values of equality and other multidimensional liberties are yet to be properly implemented!! A few days back I read it in the newspaper that most of our laws were made by the British and some of them aren't relevant now.. Some of the laws haven't been used for the past 150 years or so, I meant in jurisdiction.. I feel some day our ministers should look at these laws and try to improve what seems irrelevant in the present context and put in new laws that cater to the new found problems of this rather young and dynamic nation which is growing at a fast pace..
