JAGO HINDUSTANI –BEFORE IT IS LATE

TIME is MOVING FORWARD WHILE INDIA is BEING PUSHED BACKWARD –
MANTRI JI –‘YOU ARE INSULTING ALL INDIANS BY MAKING A LAW FOR SOME THING WHICH COMES NATURALLY TO ALL INDIANS’
AND THOSE OPPOSING THE LAW ARE ALSO INSULTING THE SENTIMENTS OF ALL INDIANS.
VANDE MATRAM
I miss ………..
AND YOU KNOW WHY I MISS ALL THIS?
Because it forces me to think that In India I enjoyed QUALITY LIFE when the advancements were not there !!!
As a small Kid, after Dinner I enjoyed my ‘ Hawamahal’ on the radio and went off to sleep. Remember that introduction music before the programme! And the excitement!
There was no television BUT people were more aware….there was no Mobile phone BUT people were more communicative….. there was a very poor transport system BUT people reached distant places in time….there was less money BUT more relatives were related….. there were no air-conditioners BUT we slept on the terrace like Dead …….. TODAY I miss my street Cricket and that broken Chair which was my wicket.
There was no 24 hour- every day stuff – every thing went off the air by 11 in the night.
Interestingly – the last thing falling in the ear was ‘Jan Gana Mana Adhinayak ……’ and no body questioned.
After each film show in all theatres ‘Jan Gana Mana Adhinayak ……’ was played and no body questioned.
ALL adults and ALL children could sing Jan Gana Mana, Vande Matram, Sare Jahan Se Acha, ……. And many more from the heart because these were in the air and in the ears.

I don’t miss all this because I don’t want to grow BUT because I DON’T WANT INDIA TO GROW IN THE WRONG DIRECTION
Why is it that ---
Our mental capabilities are detoriating each year instead of developing?
We seem to be concentrating too much on ‘Software’ development while our ‘Hard disc’ seems to be in serious trouble!

What innovative ideas people get in this country – to keep the flame of hatred & disputes burning?
Could any body ever imagine (right through the century of the 1900) that in the year 2006 people in India will make an issue out of ‘the close to heart ‘Vande Matram’?
Even the most intelligent of that lot – could not have been able to think of the use of ‘Vande Matram’ to disconnect Hindus & Muslims.
BUT THE FOOLS have done it in 2006.
Today if you give a pen & paper to people at random – 98% of them will not be able to write down our National Anthem or Vande Matram correctly and I have kept 2% margin for my wishful thinking!
And MEDIA – Is it a debate able subject?
If the life has become too tough. If the competition in the market has become unbear able? If there are no more too many good stories & bytes available? --- Please make your channel 12X7 instead 24X7 --- make it ABHI tak instead of AAZ tak--- make it STAR plain instead of STAR plus ---- but for God’s sake decide in Principle that you will never Air such issues and you will Never show to the people the FACES of the people debating on issues of this kind.
The National Flag is a CONNECT between you, me and every thing which is Indian.
The National Anthem is a CONNECT between you, me and every thing which is Indian.
Vande Matram and the likes are a CONNECT between all who are Indians -- love India --- fight for India.
These are not the properties of the RSS or the BJP or the CONGRESS party or any organization or Religion – THIS IS THE PROPERTY OF INDIA and BELONGS TO ALL INDIANS AND TO ONLY THOSE WHO ARE INDIANS.
