all said and done...
by Shrikant S on Apr 18, 2008 06:31 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

is there hope still that this country will survive in the long run?
I am probably being a fatalist but today I am afraid to have kids because they don't have a future in this country.
I am probably putting my life at risk by trying to fight all forces that want me to have a family but I am not too sure I have it in me(given I am so attached to everything around me that is being systematically destroyed) that I can fight the forces and try to make a life for the upcoming generations.
Those who are progenating, they are probably going to have the last laugh at someone's cost but I am not too sure still.
I need signals of hope that somewhere the nation is going to change for the better - Soon

suptasya mukhey na pravishanti mrigaha. ( a deer does not just enter a sleepy lion's mouth). hope in modern indian context is when you have bjp rule. granted, that is no big relief. but in modern india what you correctly speak of systematic destruction is owing to political antipathy of the hindus. if there is a political vacuum, you can be sure undesirables will occupy it. the next act on the agenda of operation-hope is the bjp victory in karnatak.

Unfortunately, Mr Shrikant, the future may very well be "survival of the fittest". This depends on where you see yourself, are you prepared to allow circumstances to overcome, or are you a survivor.
