Message to Disgruntled Indians

Yes, it's 15th August tomorrow. Like every other day, it will also have 24 hours. What makes difference to a common man is a 'holiday' on this day. For some, the day might begin with flag hoisting early in the morning & for most of them it's a 'late jagneka din'.
The news channels will air speeches of important political leaders & project it as if a speech is going to be a game changer for India. The traditional 'Bhaiyo aur Beheno'  speech hardly invoke any nationalist sentiments. Now contrast Independence day with Navratri OR Diwali. By no means, I intend to say that these festivals are inferior to our national festivals. But this sharp contrast in our attitude indicates an underlying disconnect with the national festivals. It needs an introspection as to why these festivals fail to invoke nationalist sentiments.
While our present situation may not be as good as we would've liked it to be but by no means it is indicative of our dark future. Dear friends, please understand that a nation's true test is it's capacity to overcome some compelling & enthralling circumstances. India has always stood the test of time & we have given befitting reply to our detractors. When the whole world was in the shadow of dark ignorance, it was India which enlightened the world with it's Vedic knowledge. Now all this Vedas & Mahabharata may not inspire us. But an Indian CEO heading a Multinational Company can surely be an inspiring story. Our nation is too rich in cultural & spiritual sense to be described & understood in a small writeup. Also, I don't consider myself competent that I can describe it holistically.
But with all the prevalent ills, an undisputed & uncontested fact remains that we are destined for GREATNESS. I have no doubt that we will fully comply & withstand the guiding principles of our constitution. Indians are sovereign by nature, socialist by temperament & most importantly secular by cultural. We have upheld these values since time immemorial. I have no two thoughts about our unblemished record as a cultured civilization.
To all my friends, feeling disconnected with India, I must remind them a familiar cricket phrase that 'FORM IS TEMPORARY BUT CLASS IS PERMANENT'.
I wish all of you a very happy & a committed INDEPENDENCE DAY. Today I remember a sanskrit proverb which explicitly states:-
Mother & Motherland are above heaven
I once again wish all my countrymen a very happy independence day in advance & pray for our nation's well being & prosperity.
