Can it be a surprise that the critical mass of unpatriotic Indians has reached proportions for a foreign power to act upon it?
The simple fact is that patriotism demands a legacy around which emotions and sentiments of a nation may be directed.
A legacy worthy of pride, a legacy that inspires, a legacy founded on wisdom and freedom ... and most importantly a legacy that does not rely on complex jargon, and one that can be told and retold and be as easily understood.
Such legacies certainly do exist, and they form the bedrock upon which most nations derive their patriotic identity.
But India most strangely is perhaps the one nation on the face of this earth that has studiously and meticulously sought to erase all traces of its memory by banning such, from all avenues of education by a constitutional edict and no less.
And so the Ramayana and the Mahabharatha, the Bhagavatham, the Puranas and all the heros and the heroines who for centuries inspired and counselled Indians, have now been relegated to oblivion.
Any surpised then that fundamentalistic persuasions of alien origins now subvert us with impunity?
