We The People

        To wage a war against India, it is said that our enemies do not need to send any army, all that they have to do is send the required weapons and ammunition and the rest would be taken care by few co-operative Indians. I cannot remember when and where I read/heard this, but it somehow strikes back to my mind as I go through the verdict on the Naroda Patia case. How selfish and brutally insane can some of us be? And it hurts, when highly educated political leaders whom we trust and support anticipating a better future of the nation turn to be those some. Maya Kodnani, a former minister for women and child development, has been convicted for her conspiracy of the Naroda pogrom in which close to a hundred Muslims were mercilessly killed, most of them being women and children. If this is what we get in return for entrusting our politicians(not everybody is such, noted!) the power to reform our lives then I guess then our faith in democracy eventually has to fade away. And, shall we not have to forget about the secular country that once our leaders like Dr.B.R.Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi dreamt of ?
                           I am happy about the fact that justice again prevailed(after the recent verdict on 26/11 case), a much delayed one though. But, if I have to think about the arson by Maya Kodnani, many things come to my mind and the verdict finally satisfies the Indian within me. Communal riots are also a result of the average population of India being illiterate and uneducated who hang around with their 'unwanted' religious pride (only to be picked by the selfish pricks). Any religion would never preach violence and only the educated (in true sense though, cos the kingpin of this massacre is said to be educated, I choose to think she is just literate. Huh!) would be able to comprehend this. So, should we not focus more on getting the younger generations educated with some sense of moral responsibility who would then be equipped to choose the right leaders and not follow any selfish insane people who project themselves to be leaders. India, being a diverse country always had been a great example of unity amongst such diversity. Let's all respect this matter of fact and continue to exercise the brotherhood across the various communities and not give in to such hopeless shit. Remember, United we stand - Divided we fall. Jai Hind!

An Excellent Article .......I always had special interest towards the nation but could never do anything at-least by supporting such articles which are Gems in itself, I might be able to satisfy myself & not just me everyone would / should feel responsible towards their nation & support our Indians ideally to get educated in true Manner not just education but also the fact of implementing it in a better manner that does not destroy the Nation but should save the humanity...... to make our country a better & peaceful place to live for the coming generations.
