Patriotism
by shiva on Feb 03, 2008 07:04 PM

Our politicians will always spoil the party. They have only their self interests and no consensus even on vital national issues. They make the people fight on created issues like caste, region for their selfish reasons. It does not matter thousands of lives are lost. The end result is they survive to fight many fights. Even God is afraid to recall them as they tend to live forever to create anarchy.

Indians can survive anywhere. They know they have to depend only on themselves. The fight by the communists in Kerala led to closure of all companies including govt owned. Keralites left to survive in hostile unwelcoming places to keep body and soul together. One Mittal left Kolkatta and saw opportunities everywhere else. It was a cake walk, as the humongous problems he faced in his younger days made him see opportunities anywhere. The multinationals embraced us, fuel efficient as Japanese cars, but more reliable than the German ones.

India has advantages over others including China with the our enterprising people, who have to try harder than others for basic necessities. The drag will always be our selfish politicians & ever present stumbling block, our bureaucracy. Once we overcome these two plagues, we will be on our way to become a country to be coveted by all.

I pray that the young should just seize the chance and retire the oldies from recycling contentious issues for their living. We cannot get ahead by looking at the past. We future is ahead.
