<b>Wrong Agenda & Secular Nerd Tendency!</b>
I have never come across another nation or religion, which has so many people espousing the ideology detrimental to their very existence, as you would see in India.
As a rational Indian, one cannot help but pull his hairs in frustration to see so many leaders, journalists and anyone who amounts to something speaking and writing views and ideas, which lack one vital element - the interest of India. When you start to hear them regularly, you can notice one obvious trend, their priorities are upside down.
I just had a brief conversation with a secularist with Hindu name on the Internet who was so proud of the fact that he was sending money to help Kashmiri Muslims instead of Kashmiri Hindus. He informed me that he purposely decided to help Muslims instead of Hindus to make a point. What point? Muslims are already helping Muslims. Secularists are helping Muslims. Question is who will help Hindus if not the fellow Hindus. As a secularist, why did not he just decide to send money to Kashmiris without getting into their religions. I was tempted to tell him that he was infected with a disease called âSecular Nerd Tendencyâ. But I realized that I must not get angry and do my best to guide the misguided. So, I did my best to give him some proper perspective. Hope one day Ishwar will give him knowledge and wisdom to realize that Kashmiri Hindus have no where to go and they could have used the precious pennies.
Lets get back to wrong agenda that so many influential Indians are busy in making. A Communist Indian told me once that I was doing great disservice to India because my views would anger so many good Muslims towards India. I posed him a question. When you hear a Muslim making derogatory remark towards a Hindu, do you blame entire Muslim population for this individualâs misdeeds? He said, ânoâ. I posed another question for him. Why canât you extend the same courtesy towards this bigot, me? He had no answer for me. Once again a typical case of an Indian with the wrong agenda!
I would like to set the record straight. I have nothing against Muslims. I consider anyone who gathers under the flag of Union of India as my brother regardless of his creed or language or color.
I am a proud Hindu. I draw inspirations from my Hindu roots. India was founded by Hindus. India is a nation with Hindu culture. India is a nation, which does not sanction any religion or beliefs. That is the India I know.
I have read many explanations by Indian journalists regarding Indiaâs failure to gather useful friends on international theatre, Soviet Union or Russia being an exception. Here is the explanation. A nation cannot build an effective alliance with another nations if it self neglects to define or correctly prioritize what is important for this nation. When we were faced with the question like Palestine or Israel? We chose Palestine. It took us decades to realize that our national interests dictated close alliance with Israel not Palestine and Arab crowds. It is the responsibility of Indian media to help us when average people are faced with such decisions. Instead, I must say they picked the âWrong Agendaâ. I had a brief conversation with an Indian journalist once. He informed me that it was not his job to help us reach such clarities. I asked him politely then why was he so busy espousing cause of Palestine? Was this his job? As I said earlier, it was a simple case of âWrong Agendaâ.
I strongly believe if we are to survive as a nation. We have to boldly honor those who fought and are fighting for India. We have to establish a clear distinction between Rana Pratap and Akabar. They are not one and the same. One fought for the freedom of India and another fought to subjugate India. We have to hail Guru Gobind Singh and Shiva Jee as heroes and recognize Aurang Zeb as oppressor. Will it hurt the feelings of Muslims? My answer is it should not. After all, the Muslims are Indians too. All I know is that I will always hail Guru Gobind Singh as respectable hero of India, simply, because he was a hero.
Am I to draw inspiration from Aurang Zeb or Shiva Jee? My answer as an Indian would be Shiva Jee. The case of âWrong Agendaâ or disease of âSecular Nerd Tendencyâ has blinded our elites to the point where they cannot see simple logic that a nation cannot emerge as a powerful entity without clarity in its purpose and pride in its being. Clarity of purpose is to take India to its rightful destiny. Those who are Indians, they will not hesitate a second and those who are not Indians will never gather under the tricolor.
