Yeh Jo Des Hai Mera….

India, a country of diversity.
Though diversity can be subjected to prejudice of an individual, one can say cultural another can say regional but for me with the events happening around lately it seems more likely to be of excuses and of people reluctant to face reality.

With neighbors from across the borders are piercing through the part of country, be it Arunachal Pradesh in North-East, Northern region getting invaded via J&K or the LLTE sneaking through the southern part and the most atrocious breach had been from the Western region which had targeted financial capital Mumbai, we are actually in state of war but the most unfortunate of all is despite being grilled from across the globe our leadership is more concerned about twittering of some not so political politicians, a gross matter of shame for a country.

How could a country sit back and watch their countrymen abroad being thrashed and smacked right on face, humiliated to the core in such a way that the very existence of their morality is shaken and their faith on law and justice takes backstage which leads them to take it in their hand, unfortunate though but no other country is so spineless that they would let aliens on their soil disturb their harmony except us.

We, the people are that ostrich who is not ready to see danger coming and would rather like to duck his head in sand pretending no one will see him but the truth is in this process, we are letting ourselves in even deeper trouble. The most unfortunate part is we are never ready to unite when the national integrity is on stake, we the people are one of a kind who would rather like to play blame game where sometime perhaps getting your hand dirty is the need of hour to resolve a conflict or save our self-respect with dignity. When our country was under attack 26/11, two of the biggest parties didn’t even care to show their unity rather they used it as a political mileage game in the forth coming elections. I feel really saddened when I see tears of one are sold as election manifesto material. As a progressive and one of the most powerful country in south-east Asia, we never played the role of big brother when it was required, be it the anarchy situation in Nepal or mass slaughtering and genocide in neighboring country Sri Lanka. When Taliban almost took over Pakistan, we didn’t even care to straighten our borders to avoid any intrusion from border. We always portray our self as peaceful country but with our stands on issues, we surely are being taken cowardice therefore no one gives a second thought before running over us. Even Bangladesh, a country who won its country status courtesy us butchered our soldiers and is constantly promoting terrorist activities via its borders but for us, it makes no difference. I felt humiliated when the Australian Prime Mister warned Indian’s not to take law in hand against the ferocious attacks happened on them in recent past and our leadership didn’t even raise a concern over well being and protection of their county men. Such a preposterous stand!

We are still ready to shake hands with Pakistan diplomacy on International summits but we never take a tough stand against them. There is always a CBI enquiry demand over high profile murders and when they are not resolved the agencies are blamed but what we always forget to remember that we never asked for an enquiry on innocent soldiers being killed over ignorance of political negligence. If the human rights make law agencies run for their money over harassment and vandalization of human rights, I wonder why they don’t consider the soldiers on border being human as well. Perhaps media attention can only be raised for these patriots on Kargil day or on Independence Day.


Now it’s pretty hard to understand that this so called ride of austerity would make any difference to the slaps on the face of our nation humiliating every now and then by the encroachment happening across borders and the unfair prejudice for our people abroad. Is the government cutting down their personal expenses to add more money in the defense budget? well to me it’s very difficult to understand how a country who is being suffering from challenges like border encroachment, cross border terrorism, naxalism, communal stress, poverty, draught and population explosion is only bothered about what book X politician has written on Y person or which minister is staying five stars on their own expenses.

These are non real issues and ideally shouldn’t need this much attention from the government, a government is to govern the nation not to peek-a-boo in which class their ministers are traveling or which place they are staying. These cheap publicity stunts are not going to help them for a longer run. The shining India campaign actually became the final nail in coffin of BJP government since you can fool a nation for sometime but not for eternity, another Kargil is on its way until our Ostrich doesn’t take out its head from the sand and get ready to face real issues. Until then how any Mohan Bargava would like to come back to India?
