IT is ridiculous to forget China’s internal rifts and plot against India’s disintegration into its regional parts as the Chinese strategist Zhan Lue revealed his reveries in his recent article published in the website of the China International Institute for Strategic Studies! China is the biggest shame of the world for its horrendous affliction to non-democratic communist regime. There are numerous biases and immoralities in the Chinese way at things. Right from selling cheap things to cheating others, China wants to establish itself as an untamed Asiatic demon due to its several incurable ailments.
From Bharatha Kanda to Bharath, India has seen drastic changes. Its geographical sketch was often subjected to enlargement and contraction. It encompassed several countries in the ancient times as against the present 28 states and 7 union territories. India is the temple of the world mainly because of its association with spiritualities of every possible kind. To stay neutral to all modes of worship, India remains secular. Guarded atop by the mighty Himalayas, India has at its peninsular precincts the Bay of Bengal, the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea. Like a University of wisdom that imparts education of all subjects with its respective departments, India has many languages, cultures, practices,… encapsulated in it for the peaceful coexistence.
Pakistan is artificial as it is like Banyan’s prodigal son. By the influence of the mischievous miscreants, it got separated on the basis of Islam. It still continues to suffer from its initial biases and yields to further exploitation by America, China and others excepting India. Sri Lanka is amputated geographically and hewed politically by the British from India. By its association with China and Pakistan, Sri Lanka also got afflicted with their chronic diseases, all three paving their ways to self destruction in the guise of conniving against India. China is terribly expecting an internal revolution by the suppressed people of China at any time. Pakistan has fallen prey to native and nearby terrorists by sponsoring terrorism against India. Sri Lanka has been sinning with the Sinhalese government’s genocidal attacks against its native Tamils thus accumulating the inescapable curses of the victims at large. These three awaits a fitting end to their deadly deeds as their peccadilloes ripen.
India had been looted by Alexander prior to the Mohammedan invaders culminating in the majestic booty by the British. All these plunderers were able to snatch away India’s material wealth only but not its spiritual treasures which are always the driving forces of India. Apart from India, the world relies for its spiritual pursuits on say, a Zoroaster, a Buddha, a Christ, a Mohammad, et al. India continues to abound such enlightened shamans for ages and eternally reverberate with the perfect divinity at its crux. However ruthless the material combats may be, India’s spirituality will guard itself ubiquitously!
The concept of democracy is deteriorating like never before in India. Most Politicians in India have developed rhino skins and roam about with rotten selves. The greatest threat to India is never from its neighbouring countries; it is always from within, by these political turncoats, who exercise the hard-earned freedom to corrupt and ransack the country; by the tax evading tycoons; culprits who cruelly do business in life saving medical profession; fake drug sellers; scoundrels who commercialise education; the leeches from the entertainment industry who suck people’s time, money and energy; malfunctioning administrators and so on.
We have been forced to live with terrorism. Never again after the September 11, 2001 attacks in the US did a similar assault take place! The US had learnt the necessary lessons and reorganised its border security, established essential defence strategies to tackle such threats and started raging war against terrorists with the exception of Iraq. There is no good in blindly hailing the US in all cases but as far as their internal security is concerned, it is shaping up appreciably after the 9/11 terrible blow.
The negligence of agriculture, delaying the inter-linking of all rivers within the country, shortage of electricity, mounting price rise of essential commodities, etc., cause the nation further damage these days. Presenting deficit budgets, privatisation of prosperous public sector companies, not re-constituting the Constitution akin to India, menace of growing population and unemployment, using the Central Bureau of Investigation like a puppet in the hands of the ruling parties, Election Commission of India becoming putrid and incapable, all these and many more let others such as US and China, devise elaborate schemes to ruin India.
Are the shrouding calamities of India due to lack of patriotism among Indians? Are our decays attributed to our poly linguistic and multi-cultured coexistence? If we live for a while building walls between our inter-states like the erstwhile separated East and West Germanies, already India had been chopped off after Independence, giving rise to Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Burma, etc., we end up once again like in the old times when India was ruled by multifarious kingdoms, the only change in this fragile transposition is of being reduced to tiny banana republics. Even after such fragmentation, India’s divine glory and inseparable spirituality will truss us together forever!
