When I chose to create a blog in my name, all i thought was, it will be a platform for me to express the things which i never spoke or to share those immense emotions which meant a lot to me.
I, then decided that when i complete my Grihasthashram and enter Vanaprasthashram i would read all those posts one after the other every day so that nothing gets lost in time. You know most of us at 60+ would be left all alone, one would be lucky to have a companion who travelled with you in your journey. So, i wanted to make sure, that when i'm left for the dogs :) I would have this blog of mine which will give a new life to already ailing breath.
Well, after putting the above disclaimer, let me shoot something which isn't personal but Nationalistic in nature. For me My Nation, My Motherland, My Soldiers hold the highest regards. You might be making up your mind to categorize me as a Sanghi, Bhakt, Chaddi and what not just by looking at the things which have the highest regards in my heart, but just to keep you posted: I Don't Care, on what words or new phrases you use to put up a banter.
Leaving that aside, Lets come back to the focal Point "Who Are Our Heroes?". I mean seriously, looking at the current media discourse this question needs to be answered by every person, who sees himself as an Indian first. Have we, the people of this great country, which gave great thinkers of the likes of Chanakya be so fragile not to see the real colors behind the discourse? Have we lost our analytical capability in the midst of the ideology or the political party or the political leader driven thoughts? Have we chosen to be represented by slander and rhetorics driven future? Do we still put our Nation, Our Motherland, Our Soldiers as the highest priority or are we hand in gloves with the Breaking India forces? If you are reading these questions with a political bias, then by this time you would have started name calling for sure, but if you are looking at these questions without a shade of bias, I'm sure you would be hurt by the ganging up of the Breaking India Forces.
To all the Breaking India forces out there along with those who support them unconditionally, I have few things to say: In Current times, just because you don't like someone being in power you try to put your self interest ahead of the Nation. You question every action of that person being in power just to claim your two minutes of Glory, even at the cost of very own nation which allows you to do it. You are okay with any Anti-National slogans which makes a terrorist as Hero/Martyr, declares India as the oppressor, calls for Barbadi of the same Nation which gives you the fundamental rights FOE and FOS. You defend the champions of the JNU events in the name of same rights and paint them as the oppressed community. You try to manipulate the narrative of the event and allow them the sufficient air time to divert the attention from Anti-National debate to the one of oppressed and oppressor. But let me tell you one thing, the fundamental rights given to the citizens of this nation comes with sense of responsibility do not misuse it.
There is something called as shooting from someone else's shoulders, thats exactly what you guys are doing. You guys cannot question the current government on issues such as administration, transparency, corruption or even for that matter schemes which are not caste/religion based so what you fragile people do, make a non issue as the major point of concern for 125 Crore strong nation.
Let me tell you one thing, all your actions, thoughts, plans, schemes, blue prints and what not to defame My Nation, My Motherland and My Soldiers to show someone whom you don't like in bad light, will all go in vain. Because India was, is and will be Jagathguru. India is a land of free thinkers, their thoughts may be distracted by your screenplay but they do have the intellect of their own to see through the bigger plot.
For you Breaking India Forces, you might find a Hero in the failed Marx theories or go gaga abt the communist Mao who is nothing but a dictator of a different kind. You guys can claim Terrorist Collaborator Afzal as the unfortunate victim of the Indian State and collect signatures to get pardon from the supreme head of the same nation. You guys can question the decision of supreme court and 12 year long legal process just because it didn't satisfy your bosses abroad. You guys can find a political opportunity to reclaim your lost ground in some student's unfortunate suicide and spin it to your suitability. You guys can support your young budding next gen communist leaders who organised the Feb 9th event in JNU, bring their family background to rescue and turn them to be the Victims, sufficiently trying to wash off their anti-national traits. You guys can even try to portray him as the next big thing in India and try to put him infront of your biggest enemy, the current PM. You guys can organise intolerant debates by receiving money from foundations of questionable back ground. For you , they are your heroes who try to defame a person in power but end up defaming whole nation, its people and emotions attached to it.
But let me tell you one thing, major portion of Indians can see through your bias, for us: A person who serves his/her nation with honesty and integrity is a Hero. A person who puts Nation first, ahead of his/her economic/social background is a Hero. A Person who respects the diversity of the Nation without discriminating between the state, language, religion, region is a Hero. A person who doesn't think twice to sing National Anthem, who doesn't think of his/her religion to sing National Song, who would give up his life in defending National Flag and Nation is a Hero. A kid who salutes her father on the death bed but still keeps her head up and invokes the war cry upholding the spirits of the army her father served is a Hero. For us, anyone who considers safeguarding the Nation, Motherland and respecting the sacrifices of our soldiers as the highest priority are our Heroes.
I know writing these things up, wouldn't change anything in the thoughts of Breaking India Forces because that will give a blow to your bread and butter, but at the end of the day, I would be satisfied just by the thought that i will have no regrets of speaking up at the right time. And when i'm 60+, sitting on my easy chair browsing through my blog posts i would take pride in self as i openly called out who are my Heroes.
By this Post, May be my Children and Grandchildren would chose their Heroes wisely or at least put an effort to see through the biases of their time and end up calling a spade as spade. Let their be more power to my Heroes.
Rashtro Rakshathi Rakshitaha!
