HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY, MAY GOD BLESS ALL GOODS TO OUR NATION !
I want to share some of my doubts related to the state of religion and patriotism in this nation, which I want to discuss... Our history glorifies both our religion and patriotism with very few exceptions. At sometime in the history, these two (religion and patriotism) were mutually similar and related in India, but history keeps changing with time and we are now living in an era where we find scarce of both pure religion and pure patriotism inside persons and citizens of India. The political policing of both have occurred in the course of Indian history which started with colonial rule and continued after independence as well.
I do have general feeling that , abstracts and feeling like religion and patriotism have been used always by politicians but the direction in which present politics is moving seems to be disastrous as politics is attacking on moral values of common man like religion and patriotism. We are living in a state of politics that a person is easily thought of as an extremist if he/she strongly follows religion and/or patriotism.
You may blame me for narrowing the two vast aspects to the politics but for a general case it appears to be correct. The general case obviously excludes special cases where we can occasionally find some spiritually motivated persons as well as some persons with pure patriotic attitude, but sad part of these cases are that they are being also mingled with politics e.g. the case of spiritual leader in the country as well as patriotic leader like Anna Hazare. Therefore it seems unavoidable to stop interference of politics into these moral matters. Dear friends, whenever you think of a perfect society, one always thinks the community having positive and developing thoughts. These thoughts are no doubt being driven by one's attitude towards social moral value and if the attitude are being corrupted by politics then politics must be interfered by .....???????
WHO WILL INTERFERE IN THIS ACTION OF POLITICS AND HOW, IS THE MY DOUBT.......
I shall end this short writing by a small unrelated story:
"Sometime back Taiwan was not such a developed country and many of its citizens were migrating Westward in search of better lives… What caused the turnaround…? What made the country a premier location for IC fab, electronic goods? Taiwan is now a highly developed country with average salaries more than $ 20000. After analyzing the situation in the country, the government and the community resolved to put all their resources in promoting universal primary education because they identified it as the solution to all socio-economic problems. They could achieve it because the size of their country is small."
Thanks for reading a piece of boisterous :)

Division is still there in our country in the form of state, district etc but in division where there should have been more sense of responsibility on local leaders for their own area's well being, there has been less sense of responsibility for it's own area. I think gradually with time under the influence of western culture, religion will become trivial and immaterial and only thing which will matter will be development. People will be more literate and wise to judge qualified one, who just doesnt speak well but who actually works well.
ReplyDeleteNice Article.
