We

Submitted by smruthi aravind on

When the higher powers of the world were fighting for the unworthy leadership decades earlier....

When the most memorable 'Wars of World' were fought virtually saving no world for men....

We either supported our brethren or stood silent.

Watching how the political factions wiped out the lives.

And gaining no experience of this..

When the English invaded us and looted us of all wealth.....

All resources....all men...all heritage..

We either suffered and survived the torture or died as martyrs.................

Its not that we have not got the strong and wise the revolutionaries of my nation bear the testimonies to this fact..

Its the respect for mankind and 'thirst'for 'peace' that made us suffer and made them..

Feel guilty and abandon this sacred land. During the last three decades....

when our brothers living in the heart away from the soul of our mother ...

when our own brothers of the neighbouring land.. Fought against us.......

We either negotiated or defended...for..

they would someday come back to us..

to live in peace and harmony..

But when our own citizens become slaves...

of the evils trying to rule the country and. Do not fight against them,

We neither endure nor remain silent.

For the simplest reason that.....

We are INDIANS!!!

India is only country in the world which has not invaded any other country in his history of 1000 year...East or West India is the Best.

This land has been true to every word you speak. This land has seen it all. When it comes to people from outside attacking, looting, killing we face and we fight.. ! But when we ourself loose the fire. When the Indianness in us starts gatering dust. When we actually start seeing our 'wise' help the aggressors.. then we need to think once.. Is the inaction in our country today in line with what we are.. As Indians..

wat i wanted to say is even though we had the potential to fight wid dem..we have been silent for we always wanted to win through peace.... "Is the inaction in our country today in line wid wat we are..as indians.."plz make dis line clear..

"Is the inaction in our country today in line wid wat we are..as Indians..".. this is the response to the last three lines. We do endure and remain silent. That is what is precisely happening today. Today the Indians have learnt to accept things as they are. If there is corruption let it be. If there is pain, so be it. If there is suffering, I am ok as long as I am not a victim. This is precisely the picture popping up today. Peace, Nation, Values all seem to be sacrificed on the alter of a person's personal gain. We are progressing. growing.. Moving towards being a superpower.. And this is not as a unit, as one nation. this is in fragments. Every man for himself. We are being de-sensitized. That is why the last three lines seem imperfect truth to me..
