I HAVE A DREAM

Hello JNTU,

.

.

.

Some two score and a half years ago,a pilgrim visited this land of non-violence.Got impressed by it.He used it in his nation which is bearing fruits now.He said ‘I have a dream’.Those dreams are transforming to reality today.

The pilgrim was Martin Luther King Jr.What impressed him is non-violence.What he dreamt of is what is happening today in the United States of America….barring the recession!

I am a citizen of this nation.I have the right to dream here.And I want to reveal some of my dreams to you on this auspicious day.I have a dream today.

I am lucky that I’m studying in this prestigious university.But there are many of my brothers and sisters working in the hot sun,for the lack of money.Education has become a commodity that can be bought.

I have a dream where each citizen is guaranteed education free of cost irrespective of his background.

I have my sisters molested,abused and teased in colleges,harassed in houses,discriminated in the society.I don’t understand why they should suffer when we are all born equal.They don’t have even proper representation.I have a dream where all the women are treated equal to men.I have a dream today.

We had our general election conducted just a few months ago.But the opposition parties are busy preparing for the next general election,wasting the valuable time and money from the exchequer..... which is meant for discussing people’s issues.

I dream of a nation where the government is responsible and the opposition is constructive.

I call my dream,my Indian Dream.Come,my brothers and sisters.Let us make our nation numero uno in the world.

We don’t have a North India or South India but Indian Union.We don’t have Hindu India or Muslim India but Indian Union.We don’t have Hindi India or Tamil India but Indian Union.We don’t have rural India or urban India but Indian Union.I have a dream today for a happy India tomorrow.Let a new age down.

A soldier dies in the battle field.Not because he isn’t brave enough.But because he isn’t provided advanced weapons.When the terrorists use the most sophisticated weapons.The planes and ships that the foreign countries are discarding are being inducted into our army.

I have a dream where every weapon in India is made indegeneously.

Where each bud blooms

In its true colors.

Where each day is a celebration of

Unity,Harmony and Synthesis.

Saluting India.
