FUNDAMENTALISM, INDIA, YOUNG INDIANS AND THE WORLD.......... [Thoughts On Realsing the Indian Dream........]

Nothing has been haunting our mother land so consistently and persistently than communal disharmony between its citizens. It torn the nation apart. Thousands of human lives fell victim to the monstrosities of religious conflicts. When the British banked on it for political and economic mileages we could understand. But history bears evidence to innumerable instances when people from within exploited this vulnerability for power aspirations. And that exploitation is still continuing unfettered. Polarization ensures vote banks and here lies the key to the problem. Either the leaders and political parties should nurture the moral imagination to transcend parochialism or the citizens should develop the sensitivity to identify the pervert power mongers. To tie the hands of those who does not mind hoisting their flag of victory on the shattered pieces of flesh and blood of innocents is not easy. The insecurities and fears of the common man remains ever vulnerable to the calculated manipulative traps of the crooked. Yet in spite of all the unfortunate events our nation always bounced back to embrace the ideals of secularism and harmonious coexistence. Fundamentalists, like potential cancerous cells is lurking beneath the surface, always yearning to create division and propagate hate. Here comes the responsibility of the emerging generation of young Indians. Empowered with science and art we can bend the arc of history towards peace and prosperity.

Fundamentalism, mother of communalism, in its various shades is spreading like an epidemic all over the world. Every culture and religion is increasingly getting hijacked to spread hate and violence by psychotics with criminal instincts. From the home let us begin and to each and every corner of the world let we stretch our ever helping hands. Then alone will our nation shine when the darkness of the world gets disturbed by the light from the Indian land. We did it before....We can do it again.....The world needs it badly. Let us realise the Indian dream....Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhavanthu.....
