But the transition from subjection to freedom was not smooth. India was divided into two separate states: India and Pakistan. As soon as Pakistan was born , it attacked Kashmir and claimed it to be a part of itself. But the then king of Kashmir Maharaja Harisingh made a pact with India that Kashmir would be a part of it. So India fought with Pakistan to save Kashmir. Kashmir was saved, but Pakistan forcibly occupied a part of it under the name of Ajad Kashmir. The Kashmir problem is yet to be settled.

B.J.P got the maximum number of seats but absolutely majority flow ever . It formed the Govts., with the help of some regional the prime Minister of India . But as the condition Governments are fragile the political future of India is uncertain .

13. ECONOMICS ------ In the economic sphere our country has earned stability. But the disparity between the rich and the poor have increased our population isn’t checked there may be acute shortage of fuel to cook food . There is also scarcity of water in many parts of the country. We haven’t been able to salve those problems.

14. EDUCATION In education , we haven’t yet improved much. The percentage of literacy has improved but the quality of education has deteriorated . All the children of India do not go to school yet. Child labour is still in vogue. The percentage of literacy among women hasn’t much improved.

15. CORRUPTION--- Due to the fault policy of our policy makes corruption has increased at an alarming rate our leaders think public money as their own. As soon as they came to power they strive to improved their own financial status. The result is Ayurved scam, fodder scam, police dress scam, share market scam ,fertilizer scam etc. unless we free our country from corrupt leaders, there will be no meaning of democracy .

16. CONCLUSION Thus we have seen that during these 60 years the improvement has been marginal in comparison to degradation . But ours is a stable society whose foundation has gone deep. So this nation will not be subdued by a corrupt minority. There are still honest people who will gladly give up their lives for the prosperity and independence of the country. By the efforts of those dedicated people this great country will surely rise again in near future.
