IN RETROSPECT.
1.When we recall the History of India(ancient and modern),we need to remind ourselves of the following stark realities.
2.The earlier Muslim Invaders(bigots) could forcibly convert large number of Hindus to Islam,destroy Temples and construct mosques everywhere and anywhere.The so called liberal mogul ruler AKBAR ,setting himself as an example arranged and encouraged inter-sect marriages between rajput rulers and Muslims and laid the foundations of a Perverted secular outlook that by implication became the swan song for Hindu ethos transforming many into HYBRID Hindus.
3 The British won over the indian maharajas by exposing them to Western life style and encourage them to send their siblings and those of their subjects for higher
Studies to their country.The sops as above exposed many Indians of the affluent class to liberal democratic egalitarian thinkers of western world and their writings.Simultaneously, introduction of Mcaulays reforms in indian educational system made the native students know about the European thinkers and ignited their desire for liberty,fraternity and equality for Indians as well.The Indians who got educated thus abroad returned as psuedo intellectuals and fellow travelers ,some of them entertaining revolutionary ideas.
4.On attaining Independence,India had a bunch of confused Leaders with liberal outlook and a secular outlook while there were others who are eager to follow Marx,while some other wanted to revive ancient values and make India a Theocratic state .
5.During the last seventy years of Indian Republic ,a new crop of political leaders got the reins with their single point agenda of governance to stick to power by any means and ensure that their and their cohorts well being is taken care of ,flouting the laws of the land,indulge in misuse of their position,indulge in bribery, coercion wherever necessary,at the cost of average indian.(True with leaders of all political parties-NO EXCEPTIONS).
6.After experieincing NAMO's governance for four years, I am convinced that it is futile to look forward to observance of laws of the land,speedy disposal of Justice to aamadmi,etc.
7.The rebels opposing the inept and corrupt establishment ,who in the past staged revolts with or without arms now and then have either been annihilated by the system or have joined the establishment that they have abhorred till recently.
8.In the circumstances,we can feel fortunate if the liberty((is not taken away by the rulers) to lament privately or in social media .
9.we need to reconcile to the fact that it is futile to look forward to better FUTURE.
10.Long live Liberty ,Equality and Freternity.
