Lord McCauley’s speech in British Parliament on 2nd February, 1835 for converting India to a land suitable for them to rule and make Indians the British slaves : “I have traveled the length and breadth of India and there I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such caliber, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage and, therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self esteem, their native culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation”
LET US BREAK THE CLUTCHES PUT ON US BY THE FOREIGN RULERS!
Until 1947 Aug. 15th the foreign rulers of this country destroyed our culture and heritage. After 1947 Aug 15th our own rulers are destroying our self- respect and glorious culture national values. Even after 60 years of independence, the 1080 million Indians are ignorant about India and Indian heritage. They are even ignorant that they are ignorant about India. We do not have any shame to belittle and denigrate our country and culture. We, even make fun of our values, heritage, culture and laugh on ourselves. We support others when they denigrate and make fun of ourselves. Some of our thinkers, intellectuals, rulers, politicians and scientists are continue to play the cruel role in these negative activities. Some of the politicians reap by dividing us, like the British rulers did. Both the foreign and Indian rulers were/are successful in the heinous activities. We always talk about values and value based education !Can we import them ? If yes, from where can we import these values ? Do you think that they are available for importing as capsules ? Look into the progress made by Japan ! A country which got resurrected from the ashes after two atom bomb explosions! How could they achieve this great position in the world .Each and every Japanese child took the pledge that he/she will build a modern Japan from the ashes using science and technology, without killing their great heritage, culture and values. The patriotism and nationalism were their roads for progress, value based life was their driving force, perfect unity was their vehicle, dedication and punctuality were their qualifications, glory of their motherland was their ultimate destination. The land of volcanoes achieved what they wanted to achieve. Now, the world is saluting Japan for their quality and efficiency. Can we not follow them ? Better late than never! We may be Christians, Muslims, Hindus, atheists, leftists, rightists or middlistists… If there is a will and sound patriotism nothing else is important. We are Indians that is important. Let us take the inspiration from India . Let us all together build a proud India by inculcating self respect and patriotism in our mind. As our President Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam put the mission, let us all focus our karma and dharma towards taking our maathru bhoomi, karma bhoomi, jnaana bhoomi, yajna bhoomi to vikasitha dharma bhoomi by 2020 or before that.
