26th July 2006 - Celebrating our own self esteemed Independence Day.
But this time with a difference maybe with all the colorful things happening within the confined limits of a tight security based stadium- as the stadium was packed with all kinds of big personalities and there family members who needs the so called "Z" security. There was a threat of security lapse or rather say a ALERT due to the fear generated because of the implementations of party system in the country. In other words fear of terrorist attack. Oh am I plunging myself into politics- Ah noway.
Well the question which I want to raise here is not any of this security or anything regarding to where it was conducted but yah I do seriously see another discrimination of the other fellow Islanders from the superior tiny dot island namely the great Male’ as referred. What I’m trying to say here is why is not any other school from the isles of Maldives are allowed to showcase there talent but just the schools of male’ allowed to showcase there basic talents with all kinds of dancing hype and running around. Why not any other Atolls allowed to present there self established culture during the floats, why not letting them a chance to show that they too exists as citizens of Maldives.
On this day I feel like independence was attained only for one state or rather say a Atoll “kaafu” and not to the rest of the Dhivehi Alphabetical Atolls.
Lets see whether we can celebrate a Independence day in which all the isles of Maldives are allowed to take part and make it a complete Maldivian Affair. Lets see How the 2007 one goes. I would count on a more developed celebration next time.
Always hoping for a change
