We are approaching the 67th anniversary of our Independence. Sixty seven years is
a
long time in the life of man - indeed, it is about the average Indian's life expectancy
today. It is useful to take stock at such a time.
Clearly, our founding fathers wanted political freedorn for the people of India
freedom to determine who we would be governed by, as well as freedom of thought,
-
expression, belief, faith, and worship. They wanted justice and equality of status and
opportunity. And they wanted us to be free from poverty.
We have made substantial progress in achieving politicat freedom. Our democracy has
matured, with people confidently choosing to vote out governments that lose touch
with their needs. Our institutions protecting the freedom to vote have grown stronger,

5LB-2OI6IA r0 [P.T.O.

' . i ihe Election Commission and the forces of law and order ensuring free and
.::e11' lair elections throughout the country. Political parties, NGOs, the press, and
:,jir iduals exert checks and balances on public policy. And the judiciary has taken
:mportant steps to protect individual freedom.
Our economy is also far richer than it \\ as at the time of independence and poverty has
: -:e down substantially. Of course. some countries like South Korea that were in a
:.:'lriar situation then are far better off todal.but many others have done far worse.
-rdeed, one of the advantages of a vibrant democracy is that it gives people an eject
button which prevents governance from getting too bad. Democracy has probably
ensured more stable and equitable economic growth than an authoritarian regime
might have.
Yet a dispassionate view of both our democrac_,- and our economy would suggest
some concerns.
