Modern technology, day to day problems, the quest to generate bread for the next time he is hungry has made man so busy that he has stopped thinking about anything else. We, as in Indians, live in a very corrupt, populated, most unorganized and highly unethical and enormously irresponsible society. We don't think about other, untill unless he is a friend, max. But its time now, and we need to open up, widen our vision and start doing the simple thing called THINKING.
From our childhood we have been taught only the pretty merry happily ever after stuff about our history. We think India is the best country in the world.The fact is ITS NOT and I don't see it happening in near future. Now the thinking part, why I am more ignorant about the facts of my country than other of their country. Why?
Why was I taught about only the useless things during my childhood. How some chacha loved children and had a rose in his coat instead of teaching how he was responsible for the division of the country into India and Pakistan?
Why how many bullets were shot when a certain prime minister was walking in a park is more important than the emergency declared by her in an inappropriate time caused a major revolution during that period and the fact that she was the reason to impose censorship in newspapers and not letting the people know the truth of government which caused a major issue?
How some great person was responsible for india's independence instead of letting me know that the independence of India was dragged for more than 30 years by following non-violence and that he did not support the great leaders of that time and just let them die just because he didnot agree with their idealogy? Speaking of which, why independence is considered as a virtue earned only by non-violence when its actually earned equally by himsa (violence) and ahimsa (non-violence) vadis?
Why was I only taught about Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Patel, Maulana Abdul Kalam, Indira Gandhi, but not about Udham Singh, Subhash Chandra Bose, Komaram Bheem, Rash Bihari Bose, Surya Sen, Chittaranjan Das, Achhar singh Chinna? Why is my history book had only one chapter about revolutionaries by violence and all the other non-violence white collared people had one chapter each. Why is Godse always shown in a negative shade as an asasin but never showed the reasons behind the assasination and the fact that he was an ardent follower of Gandhi before taking this decision is always hidden?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Is it because of money, power, people? We only see what is shown? Because thinking about what we are seeing will make us spend time, which we don't have. What is the solution for this? How can we build a better India? What is our part in building a better India?
Think!!!!
Think!!!!
