Inheritance


The biggest democracy of the world(for the geeks,in terms of population..)-India...
- the greatest country of the orient...
The country which is illustrious not only in its vast history,but because of its contribution in every facet of mankind.The nation which has been a resplendent jewel in Scientific economic and cultural advancement that implicates the greatness of the being known as homo sapiens.
The country envied by the west.
The standard setters when it came to prosperity, and a gold standard for imperialists.(Every kind of pun intended!)
From Alex(aka Sikandar) to Ghazni(not the movie!);from Ghengis to the British.There is practically no race absent from the list of invaders.


Well,that was like ages ago.
After thousands of years of plundering,desecrating every dimension of our inheritance with cultures that were foreign and visioned as vile(an understatement so to speak),we were left with the holy books(Gita Quran Bible and the Constitution).
Ah,yes we were left with fragments of a gigantic jigsaw that geeks like me decipher.
That so much so ..some people never cease to harp on to.
The giant jigsaw of - India!!!(one more time!)

That too was 6 decades ago.With the limbo phase between 15th August 1947-26 January 1950.A lot has changed since then.And to describe the multitude of change
i will give you an example-The earth with a gravel.Yes that's the ratio of change.
Every aspect of humanity has changed..the economy,the system,the people, the fashion,the ones who run the country.Girls don't like to take the backseat no more.
Kids don't learn mythology from books-they graduate it in from cabled television.
We learn about female heroines who fought for the country singlehandedly.We learn about Ramayana in a way that reeks of the classical Bollywood movie.Alas,with figments that spice up the monotonicity.Although i am not judging,it does say a lot that the future generations will only get what we shall impart unto them.
That's a cold reality.We want the future to sustain on itself by the values we give them.But are we giving them the right ones?


A certain leader revered by us youth recently said about saffron and related it to malice.It was unfortunate.Probably his only faux Pas.Well,um..he has younger kin who said something similar.Far more unfortunate.But the thing is..ultimately to evolve and make it as the "great" nation we are..we cant just keep this infighting in a non
pausable mode.Well since infighting has been the queue for imperialists.But then you want us to fight them in the borders in weathers you wont even tread in your best days.So, that you may use the bloody time in wasting in your futile diplomacy.
No country is , has and will be perfect.Nor will any system.Since it is the flaws that gels people together,in other cases causes estrangement.
They say they want the future to take the reins.Well,we shall let the old man know we cant have him tugging it and telling us to hold it too.You got to leave some room.But Son of a Gun..when we do..we are impudent.We confuse our sexuality , our virtues and we call ourselves modern.Thou shalt heap scorn.It is weird though.If you don't like it...do something about it.

Thing is...we shall keep making mistakes.It is inevitable.You must guide us.You must not pick us up.But tell us how to use the earth for leverage.That's your job sir.
Not to beat the h3## out of us in schools.Not to abuse us for your pleasures and debauchery.Not to make us work until breaking point in your IT mills.Not to make dirty money from marketing our flesh.That includes the crap that are flooded in the internet.Not to separate the ones we love with regard to our differences in caste and creed.Not to force us to take the blame to hide your ills.
Not to make our confidence hit six fit under while rock bottom.And if we cant get our inheritance,we shall take it from you.
No offense but it wont be pretty.No sir.Its our inheritance and like it or not we are going to get it from you.


One way or another.
