A.P.UDHAYBHANU -Freedom Fighter

I met A.P. UDHAYBHANU a freedom fighter from Kerela. Old but still he wanted to talk. With tears in his eyes he said. "Our dream was a India, not this mutilated India. One of the greatest tragedy was that India was divided when we won freedom in 1947. In this we killed more people, we shed more blood then in war, though it is said that we got freedom by non violence - freedom was the most violent bloody thing, though Gandhi was ready to wait for united India, other people were not. "

It is a great human weakness, money, women and power and we should have controlled this weakness. It is said that Nehru was the architect of India but the real archeded was Sadar Patel even though the glamour goes to Panditji.

No leader had any reason to be happy. We had to create consciousness among our people. We had to educate them, we had to create our own world.

We made a constitution, which is good, but for India we should have had a multi representative constitution. India is too much integrated with the Muslim and Christian faith. BJP Hindutava is wrong, this country belongs to everyone . I feel sorry for the pettiness, after all money is but the greatest evil, so many great leaders have been put in power, they have been petty thief, these people have robed the whole country.

I remember the days of emergency, which were not good days

Though 50 years is a small time in the history of Nation but still we should have done some more things in this country.
