How many more instances must we suffer before the very image of a nation becomes a blur in the fog of the capital city or perhaps the mud and puddle of these unforeseen winter rains. Too many vindictiveness and crimes have been committed where even the heaven above us weeps at what we have made of our land and nation. Here lies my thought and tribute to my mother and my deepest of love.
Allow me a moment to introduce my very existence before I take your attention to my speech. I'm just as lost as any on this land, born unto and till death imprinted to the soil. I have eaten and played on the very grain of sand of which I speak. I have seen all the four corners, interacted with various communities from their habits to their linguistics, and more so studied the various religions to the point where I had once locked myself in a monastery to find a certain sense of peace and patriotism only their walls can provide.
Each and every community has developed their own heritage, culture, language and habits and now stands independent with its own sense of loyalty. Considering the National Anthem of Punjab, Sindh, Gujrat, Maratha, Dravid and so and forth erstwhile conquests of the British Rule and Wars of Divide and Rule; we still stand divided even today. I believe that charity begins at home and we should respect the fact that though each of us have our own mother tongue and heritage, we should forget why the country is one after all. A socialist, sovereign, secular, democratic republic. If you need to consider these words or even google it, I suggest you adhere to the civic textbooks of the nearest child to you. Because I ask speak of further evils that plague and pillage this rich terrain. For instance, the division of family values for the avarice of wealth and property, father against son, brother against brother, son and wife against the elderly. Or even worse, discrimination on the basis of caste, religion or worse sex.
Where be our martyrs and patriots who time and time again have sacrificed themselves for us? Though we struggle with our independence after years of governance by foreign powers, we have shackled our very being to the likes of uneducated political groups whose leaders outrightly treat us and worse publicly call us cattle or servants. Whats worse? He is still in power even after the evidence of the very fact being played and replayed on national television!
Were we better off with the Greek-Mecedonian armies of MegaAlexandros, or the Ghaznis, Tughlaqs, Iranians, Turks, Mongols, or the Guptas, Kanishkas, the Mughals, the Marathas, the Rajputs or perhaps we can keep that monarchy to the past and strive for equality and ask for justice? Every citizen can strive for it considering the thematic impact of equality and demand that our governing powers be prosecuted for its misdemeanors. Every state and community must play its part. Please understand that I'm not playing on communism or any "isms" for that matter, political means, or other such favor. Our nation is too massive, diverse and heterogeneous for any of them to have a part to play.
On another note, allow me a lame old joke.
I believe in equal opportunities as well as enjoying privileges that come free...
Does that make me communist?
But I also believe in myself and defending my right and pride as a man with the strength of my back...
Does that make me anarchist?
But I would like to change some laws for the betterment of society and the greater good...
Does that make me fascist?
Even more so, I prefer the concept of money which everyone agrees on free of bias for luxury...
Does that make me capitalist?
Nevertheless, we all agree to disagree and a point is a youthful virtue...
Democracy has failed.
Every individual has a part to play. And if there be equality, which I believe in most, it would be much easier. Even education reaches every nook and corner, no child or family goes hungry, the nation strives for the betterment of the society by the means of reward deserving of a modern state stemming down the flow of the "brain-drain", manage and utilize our natural resources with the consideration that it belongs to the people and not to an individual or a group, perhaps I wouldn't be writing here questioning and demanding reason.
Please put a stop to the ads and campaigns of the leaders and powers every which where with the voice that never delivers but only adds to the pollution burning my eyes. Please exclude momentary lapses of reason and words that pits man on man, community against community, religion against religion and perhaps engage in the fact that we can all be happier if we treat others and respect as we ask for ourselves. Forget engaging in the building of more religious moments and perhaps adhere to the words of the text and clean up the filth in the streets and rivers and see that no one goes hungry or suffers and lives in misery. No child should wait on another. No one should be uprooted for any reason creating a loss of identity. And perhaps, considering that honor and pride lies in saving another's life instead of resorting to killing.
And now I will wait on the two most beautiful words in the english language, an "Indian Summer". Take that quote widget!!!
