Omkar Dattatray
In the 77th independence Day speech PM Narendra Modi has spoken of great things and has said that there are three main evils of our democratic politics which are making India shallow and hallow .As per Modi these three maladies are corruption ,appeasement and familyism/nepotism and these are eating vitals our nation and therefore we should save the country from the affliction of these vices .These three enemies of the nation have hindered our democratic and developmental journey and we have not reached to the desired level .The nation has to fight these three vices to be successful in the long run. .Modi said corruption is the biggest and number one enemy and it has eaten the country like a terminate and we have declared zero tolerance towards corruption and it is the responsibility of all the people to fight corruption to finish so that it will not impact us at all.PM Modi while addressing the nation for the 10th consecutive term from the ramparts of the red forte has listed the three main enemies of the nation and called corruption ,appeasement and nepotism to be the big enemies of the country and exhorted the countrymen to get rid the country from these three vices .So prime minister Narendra Modi has called on the nation to rid itself of corruption ,nepotism and appeasement .Speaking at India’s 77the independence Day celebrations ,he cited corruption as having had a particularly significant impact on the country’s capabilities and emphasized that fighting corruption in every sector was a lifelong commitment .Decrying corruption ,nepotism and appeasement as the three evils that have harmed the country immensely ,PM Modi said it is a collective responsibility to promote ‘’Suchtia ( probity),pardarshita (transparency) and nishpakshta (impartiality) to make India developed .Addressing the 77th independence Day celebrations from the ramparts of the Red Forte ,Modi said that corruption has badly impacted India’s capabilities and the country has to resolve to not tolerate it in any form .He further said, ’’If the dreams have to be fulfilled ,then it is the need of the hour to fight the three evils decisively at all levels .The three evils are corruption ,nepotism and appeasement .He said corruption is at the root of all problems in the country .Modi stressed that India would become a developed country by 2047 when country completes 100 years of its independence .He said the need of the hour was to fight three evils –corruption, dynasty/familyism and appeasement..’’I firmly believe that when the country will celebrate 100 year of independence in 2047 ,the country would be a developed India .I say this on the basis of capability of my country and available resources .But the need is to fight three evils –corruption ,dynasty and appeasement .During his independence day speech ,PM Narendra Modi spoke of India’s potential in the trifecta of demography ,democracy and diversity .He stressed the need to fight the three evils of corruption ,nepotism and appeasement ,which he stated are the root cause of all the problems facing the country .Modi also committed to continuing to fight against corruption and ending dynastic politics in the country .He guaranteed that India will be among the top three world economies in the coming five years and emphasized the importance of liberating the nation from nepotism to strengthen its democracy .From the trifecta of demography ,democracy and diversity to the three ills of corruption ,nepotism and appeasement ,PM Modi in his independence day speech used several catchy phrases to drive home his government’s achievements ,his vision for future and criticism of the opposition. The three assets of demography ,democracy and diversity has the potential of to fulfill every dream of india .Our demography is a big asset because it is a great pride as today India has the highest population under the age of 30.This is what we have in my country ,the youth below 30 ,my country has crores of hands ,crores of brains ,crores of dreams ,crores of resolutions !So my brothers and sisters ,my family members ,we can get the desired results .The PM touched on a range of issues .From appealing for peace in Manipur and his governance to plans for the future ,a sharp attack on opposition and a change in his salutation to the people .The PM also took a swipe at opposition parties while emphasizing the evils the country is facing and has to fight out to get rid of corruption ,nepotism and appeasement.PM Modi took a jibe at opposition parties and attacked the dynasty politics .He said that country needs to fight three sins –corruption ,nepotism (Dynasty politics)and appeasement .Modi also said,’ ’Today parivarvaad and appeasement have destroyed our country .How can a political party have only one family in charge ?For them ,their life mantra is part of the family ,by the family and for the family.’’ Thus Modi said that India will be one of the three top economies in next five years and India will be a developed country by 2047 when India will be celebrating 100th independence day .But the only condition is that the country will have to join hands to fight the three evils afflicting the nation such as corruption ,familyism and appeasement .India has the three assets of demography ,democracy and diversity and these three assets will definitely transform India into a developed nation by 2047 and it will once again become a vishwa Guru in 2047 and this will be the big a development .Modi listed the achievements of his five years of rule and he attacked the opposition parties and thus he speech was mere political one with an eye on 2024 general polls and it liked to be the speech of a particular political leader and as if it was not the PM of the country who was speaking.PM belongs to 140 crore people and once the leader of the majority party becomes PM ,he should rise above party politics but it is very unfortunate that in Indian politics it is not so and the PM speaks on political lines only and his speech is a political address .Coming back to the title of this write up ,it is obvious that the country is facing the three main evils of corruption ,nepotism/dynasty and appeasement and we should jointly fight these vices of our democracy and get country rid of these evils and march ahead to attain a developed country status by 2047.Modi guarantees the people that by 2047 India will be a developed country with the capabilities ,resources and cooperation of the 140 crore countrymen.
