60 YEARS OF OUR INDEPENDENCE
2
INTRODUCTION
---
India got her
independence on 15th August, 1947. Before
that she was a part of British Empire
and was governed by the whites. But the
transition from subjection to freedom was
not smooth. India was divided into two
separate states India and Pakistan. As soon
as Pakistan was born , it attacked Kashmir
and claimed it to be a part of itself.
But the then king of Kashmir Maharaja
Harisingh made a pact with India that
Kashmir would be a part of it. So India
fought with Pakistan to save Kashmir.
Kashmir was saved, but Pakistan forcibly
occupied a part of it under the name of
Ajad Kashmir. The Kashmir problem is yet to
be settled.

so they had to quit when
congress withdrew support from them. We had
our general election in 1998 in which no
National party got a clear cut majority.
B.J.P got the maximum number of seats but
absolutely majority flow ever . It formed
the Govts., with the help of some regional
the prime Minister of India . But as the
condition Governments are fragile the
political future of India is uncertain .

ECONOMICS
------
In the economic sphere
our country has earned stability. But the
disparity between the rich and the poor
have increased our population isnt checked
there may be acute shortage of fuel to
cook food . There is also scarcity of water
in many parts of the country. We havent
been able to salve those problems.
14
EDUCATION
In education , we
havent yet improved much. The percentage of
literacy has improved but the quality of
education has deteriorated . All the
children of India do not go to school
yet. Child labour is still in vogue. The
percentage of literacy among women hasnt
much improved.
15
CORRUPTION---
Due to the fault policy
of our policy makes corruption has
increased at an alarming rate our leaders
think public money as their own. As soon
as they came to power they strive to
improved their own financial status. The
result is Ayurved scam, fodder scam, police
dress scam, share market scam ,fertilizer
scam etc. unless we free our country from
corrupt leaders, there will be no meaning
of democracy .
16
CONCLUSION
Thus we have
seen that during these 60 years the
improvement has been marginal in comparison
to degradation . But ours is a stable
society whose foundation has gone deep. So
this nation will not be subdued by a
corrupt minority. There are still honest
people who will gladly give up their lives
for the prosperity and independence of the
country. By the efforts of those dedicated
people this great country will surely rise
again in near future.
