Not patriotic?

Be it any neighbouring country...China or Pakistan, who are they to decide Kashmir or Arunachal Pradesh is thier territory. Have our countrymen lost the "Killer Instinct" to save motherland from disintegration? Are all the citizens of the India aware of overall situation of the motherland? It seems most of countrymen aren't bothered as long as thier needs are fulfilled either from internal or external sources. How can they be feel so callous when there is threat to country's security? Incase, diplomacy doesn't work, country will have to face a war inview of rise in complexity of relationship & threats with neighbouring countries.

When will our Prime Minister address the countrymen about the ground reality and wake them up to the cause? When will all political leaders unite to cooperate to face the situation rather continue with blame game for political career? When will all the Govt. Department put on high alert like in times of war such as Health,Transport,Food Supplies? When will the internal war with maoist be solved? When will media be oriented to highlight the strengths of country rather than exposing the loopholes at such grave situation? When will the civilians be educated on do and dont's to cooperate in the case of war or aggression? When will the defence, security, intelligencia be put on war footing exercises such tightening coastal security,surprise combing operations,installation of latest security scanners etc?

Its rightly said" If you fail to plan, you plan to fail". Time has come,if we don't do it now, when the time comes, we might find ourseles too weak to defend ourselves.

Lessons for India

It was a good feeling to watch "China turns 60" in electronic and print media. Within 60 years, China has developed into the world's third largest economy after US and Japan. It has world's largest military power for its defence. This presence has raised concern over the powerful countries like US and India. It reflects " where there is a will, there is a way".

In 2009, we have celebrated the 62nd year of Indian Independence. The current scenario raises few questions:
a.)Does the slavery mindset still dominates our indian minds?
b.)Have our think tanks ever visioned such presence of our country in the globe?
c.)Where have our politicians and bureaucrats lead our country to?
d.)When Indians born-american citizens play a major role in US growth and development, why couldn't the country retain such intellectuals with better scope and reap its benefits? What makes an indian intellect to shift thier bases to different countries to flourish rather than thier own home country?
e.)Have we ever sincerely tried to uproot the error in our system for the development of country? When so many international agreements are signed with different countries on different issues, what have we learnt from them towards development of our country?
f.)For how long shall we give preference to individual interest over country's interest?
Now,it's clear that when chinese think tanks are busy with strategy of making china a superpower, our think tanks are busy with strategy to make themselves superpower[demi-gods]... if not, then how have the rich become power-rich, when the poor commits suicide out of debts and starvation.

What we see China as of now,India would have been in same postion underlining it's presence in the world. Today, I really miss our hero Late Subash Chandra Bose.

Its never too late to make a new beginning. So countrymen wake up now, unite and imbibe the meaning of "Aye Mere Watan Ke Logo" (ए मेरे वतन के लोगों) ("O! the people of my country!") the Indian patriotic song written in Hindi by Kavi Pradeep, composed by C. Ramchandra,sung by Lata Mangeshkar in presence of Prime Minister Late Jawaharlal Nehru, commemorating Indian soldiers who died during the Sino-Indian War.

Jai Hind!!!
