NATIONAL INTEGRATION - UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL

IT DOESN'T TAKE MORE THAN A FEW YEARS OF SCHOOLING TO COME ACROSS THIS VERY APT N MEANINGFUL SAYING.WE ARE TAUGHT THE STORY OF THE DIEING FATHER WHO IS WORRIED ABOUT THE CONSTANT BICKERING AMONGST HIS SONS AND FEARS THEY WILL ALL PERISH AFTER HIS DEMISE.

ITS HIGH TIME WE REALIZE THIS VERY IMPORTANT FACT OF LIFE.WE HAVE PAKISTAN ON ONE SIDE,BANGLADESH ON OTHER,SRI LANKA IN SOUTH AND CHINA IN THE NORTH.
WITH SUCH A NEIGHBORHOOD THE ONLY CHANCE FOR A SUSTAINABLE AND PROSPEROUS EXISTENCE IS THAT WE STAY UNITED LIKE A MIGHTY ROCK.
I REALLY ADMIRE OUR NATION WHICH HAS EMBRACED THE MOTTO "UNITY IN DIVERSITY".

WE ARE A HUGE COUNTRY STUDDED WITH ALL OF MOTHER NATURE'S GIFTS.
SUJALAAM SUFALAAM MALYAJ SHEETALAM IS THE WAY OUR POETS HAVE DESCRIBED OUR GREAT HEARTLAND.

BUT IT REALLY SADDENS ME THE WAY A CERTAIN THINGS ARE NOW PANNING OUT.
I FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THE GROWING SEPARATIST ATTITUDE THE SENSE OF DISCONTENT THE SENSE BEING LEFT OUT AND BEING NOT GIVEN A FAIR SHARE OF THE PROGRESS MADE BY OUR NATION.

WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL THERE WERE ONLY ABOUT 25 STATES ON OUR MAP.THE NUMBER HAS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED TODAY AND IF SOME UNSCRUPULOUS PEOPLE HAVE THEIR WAY THERE WILL BE MORE IN THE COMING TIMES.

THIS IS BEING DONE IN THE NAME OF ADMINISTRATIVE CONVENIENCE BUT HE REAL MOTIVE IS TO FACILITATE THE CORRUPTION AND POWER GRABBING FOR FEW PEOPLE.

ITS SAD BUT TRUE WE WERE A COLLECTION OF WARRING PRINCELY STATES WHEN THE MUGHALS CAME AND WE REMAINED SO TILL THE BRITS CAME AND TRAMPLED OUR MOTHERLAND BELOW THEIR FEET.THEN OUR MIGHTY NATION WAS PLUNGED INTO 150 YEARS OF SLAVERY.

WHY COULD THE BRITISH IN THE FIRST PLACE WIN OVER SUCH A VAST PIECE OF LAND AND A HUGE POPULATION,BY DIVIDE AND RULE POLICY.AND THEN USING THE SAME THEY COULD CONTINUE THEIR BRUTAL RULE FOR 150 YEARS.

NOT JUST THIS THEY LEFT BUT ONLY AFTER SOWING SEEDS OF UNENDING HATRED BETWEEN THE PEOPLE AND ENSURED THAT WE WILL NEVER BE A THREAT TO THEM.

WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND A SIMPLE FACT THAT WE GOT TO LEARN FROM OUR PAST MISTAKES OTHERWISE IT WONT BE LONG BEFORE HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

DAY IN DAY OUT WE KEEP ON HEARING NEWS ABOUT PAKISTANI TERROR GROUPS INFILTRATING INTO ALL PARTS OF OUR COUNTRY.WE HAVE NAXALS THE BODOS THE NSCN THE LTTE THE KHALISTAN COMMANDO FORCE AND THE LIST CONTINUES.

TAKE THE EXAMPLE OF THE KHALISTAN ISSUE WHERE THE TERRORIST ACTUALLY RECEIVED FULL SUPPORT FROM ISI SO THAT THEY CAN CARRY ON THEIR HIDDEN WAR.HOW ON THE EARTH ARE THE PAKIS BE SUPPORTIVE OF A SIKH NATION.DID THIS NEVER OCCUR TO THE FANATICS WHO TOOK THEIR SUPPORT.DO THEY REMEMBER WHAT THESE SAME PEOPLE DID TO THEIR FAMILIES AND BRETHREN WHO HAD TO FLEE FROM THEIR LANDS BECAUSE OF THE RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION DURING PARTITION.

NOW A DAYS ITS RAJ MANIA.HOW CAN ONE FORBID ANY OTHER FELLOW INDIAN FROM ENTERING A CITY OR A STATE.ITS SHAMEFUL.
PROTECTING THE LIVELIHOOD OF LOCALS IS A KEY ISSUE BUT THERE ARE WAYS TO TACKLE THIS ISSUE.

THE AGGRESSIVE AND BRAZEN METHODS ARE BEING USED.THE HATEFUL RHETORIC WHICH IS LIKE A SERPENT SPEWING VENOM IS BEING USED BY THE OPPOSING PARTIES.ITS RIDICULOUS BUT AT THE SAME TIME DANGEROUS AS THIS WILL SPIRAL INTO A WHOLE NEW MONSTROUS ISSUE IN THE FUTURE.

WE SHOULD TAKE THE OATH THE PLEDGE THAT COME WHAT MAY WE WILL NEVER SUPPORT ANYBODY ANY MOVEMENT ANY THOUGHT WHICH MIGHT ONE DAY LEAD TO THE DISINTEGRATION OF THIS BEAUTIFUL NATION.

CAN WE IMAGINE TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY WITHOUT TAJ MAHAL OR BOLLYWOOD BEING SEPARATED FROM THE REST OF THE NATION NO NEVER.
JUST LOOK AT OUR CUISINE.ITS A UNENDING LIST OF DISHES FROM ALL ROUND THE COUNTRY AND W CANT IMAGINE CUTTING THEM OFF FROM OUR LIVES.

LOOK AT THE DRESSES WE WEAR IN OUR COUNTRY THE LANGUAGES THE TRADITIONS ITS REALLY AMAZING.

THERE ARE PROBLEMS EVERYWHERE IN EVERY SMALL HOUSEHOLD SO HOW CAN WE THINK THAT A 100 CRORE POPULATION WILL ALWAYS THINK THE SAME WAY?

BUT OF COURSE EXCEPT FOR ONE CAUSE THE PROPAGATION OF NATIONAL INTEGRATION.WE HAVE TO STAY UNITED IRRESPECTIVE OF CASTE CREED RACE RELIGION LANGUAGE CLASS AND THE NUMEROUS IMAGINARY DIVIDES WHICH BLOCK OUR MINDS AND BLOCK OUR NATIONS WAY FROM BEING A SUPERPOWER.

THE THREATS FROM ACROSS THE BORDERS WILL JUST KEEP ON MOUNTING HIGHER AND STRONGER AND ONLY A STRONG UNITED INDIA CAN SURVIVE UNDER SUCH CONDITIONS.

SO I URGE ALL OF US EVERYONE TO BE A PATRIOT FIRST AND THEN ALL THE REST.

SELF PITY THE LATEST INDIAN FASHION

DANCE INDIA DANCE DID a.k.a. CRY INDIA CRY CIC – THE BIGGER PICTURE

I have been watching DID (as I will refer to it in my post) for quite sometime now. I have watched most of the audition episodes and now the real thing.

I am sure that I am not the only one wondering if the show should be renamed to CIC instead of the current DID. The crying and the sad music really piss me off.

The music they put on is such that as if the contestants are going to be electrocuted after their eliminations. It is really pathetic. The contestants cry their mentors cry and so do the people in the audience.

Of course getting eliminated and loosing out on the big bucks is sad thing but give me a break, it is not end of the world and that’s as if they were promised that all the 18 guys are going to showered on with moolah and now they are being cheated by elimination. Its ridiculous.

You cant win till the others have lost it’s a fact. So I cannot understand why the other contestants start emptying their tear glands (…believe me I wanted to write something else…) when actually they come to know that there is one contestant less to fight with now on. A little sadness is understandable but the way in which the show is conducted is just horrible.

But of course this not the only show or should I say reality show….where this obnoxious display of emotions is promoted. Some other shows had the “GURUS” and “MAHAGURUS” literally punching each other and pulling out each others eyeballs… J.I am sure DID OR CIC will make up for this lost time and the 3 judges here will spare no effort to match up. Parents fighting mentors shouting contestants crying…really awful..

There is no doubt that the underprivileged should be given precedence over the well placed. But this cannot be a substitute for quality and performance. Nobody really cares if you are rich or poor when you are boarding a flooded Mumbai local…so the same rule applies here as well. Survival of the fittest.

People we…we Indians should shun this melodramatic mentality where we give in to this cheap display of emotions and start voting someone just because he or she is poor or underprivileged. I am sure the other contestants don’t feel the same way about these guys who will get votes just by showing of their dirty linen on TV.Instead any one who tries to win votes by such nonsense should be voted off the show.

This unnecessary cheap display of emotions brings out a very sorry figure of us Indians who then seem to be always drowned in self-pity.

Its really disgusting.The country, which houses 20% of the world population, is just a bunch of losers…no way. We are extremely powerful nation and I am proud of it.

Unfortunately raking up the emotions of the masses by cheaply showing off our poverty and adversity has become a real fashion these days.

“Slumdog millionaire” shows the mentality of the British or the outside world (Dogs and Indians not allowed…just ot refresh our memories) towards us. Even after 50 years of Independence they don’t look up to us…they look down upon us. Poor people hungry people. real India…and then it gets lauded with Oscars and what not…A thousand brilliant movies have been made till date in Bollywood but none was so publicized. But this one where the Brits mock us by showcasing our poverty and hopelessness gets so much appreciation. Thus it shows what people think of us Indians.

When Jade Gudy..peace be upon her…you know she is dying.. Insulted Shilpa what she did was “CRY…BITTERLY CRY”. Thus she hypnotised the poor emotional Indians and went on to win the contest. Just to remind you ever since… she has been staying more in UK and less in India. Don’t forget the number of police cases against her. How simple it was for her to make us poor Indians feel sad about her. She should have just slapped Jade right away and I would have been the happiest person. Show some self-esteem that’s all I would say.

We need to deeply look into ourselves and see from where this demon of self-pity has grabbed our minds. We are brave people strong intelligent and the list continues.

Stop giving in to cheap vulgar display of adversity poverty. Hold your heads high and just visualise our national flag flying and fluttering happily and its might on the blowing wind and you will forget all the pangs of self-loathing and self-pity.

Just remember no one would have revered the lotus if it had covered up itself with the mud and clutter around it and lied low down with the mess. Its only because it raises its head up high above the mud that we embrace it as one of our revered national symbols….

So get up don’t go down…….

Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaai Hind
