68th Independence day but still we are mentally not independent

The 7th nuclear power of world. A country having diversity in its beauty, having mountains of Himalia, the plans of Indus, the deserts of Cholistsan, plateau of Potohar, coastal line of Mehran. This is Pakistan, a blessing of God which we got 68 year before having high hopes in our eyes. We sacrificed our everything because we wanted a place worth living. The place where human beings rather than Muslims can live independently. However, it was ideologically the foundation of an Islamic state but every body was free to get refuge here, which is a true concept of an Islamic welfare state.
India was ruled by Britishers around a century. Muslims were the people who resisted their wrong deeds. Their every social injustice was resisted by Muslims through their protests and presenting themselves for sacrifice for their brother. These were people who were physically ruled by  others, but mentally in light of teachings of their ideals and leader that they resisted for their rites and got their independent state.
Today we are living in an Independent country. We got independence 68 years ago but mentally we are not independent. We are indulged into few thoughts of our mind which stops us from thinking independently. Today we don't care if in something bad is happening in some other part of our country. We don't care if Peshawer attack happens. We just have a feeling of sadness then we move our face on other side. Today if Kasoor incident happens there is no one among us who could stand against people doing it. Living in Punjab and interior parts of country we don't care what is happening in Karachi. We just sit in front of our television screens watching everything in News and then forgetting everything. Today if Govt increases prices of something we feel bad but after sometime we pay for the same thing without protesting against that increase. 
We as a nation have stopped owing the country. We think that the system of our country is being run by someone of other world who is not approachable to us. We don't know that these people are elected by  us through our vote. They come to us every five year. They are answerable to us. We just keep on focusing our daily routine and are forgetting our social duties. As a result we had not remained independent in our thinking.
