shameless country
by mukund a kulkarni on Jul 11, 2008 11:06 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

It is a shameless country where kith and kin of martyrs are treated as beggers. The security men who died while defending parliament are still not given the promised compensation. At the same time a big politcal farce is on to save the perpetrator of the crime Afzal guru. What would the amrtyrs think about this sort of moral bankruptcy?

What did you do for the martyrs who died dfending the parliament. I know of one small child who was born after his father died in action. Should I send this child to you? Will you raise him, feed him and educate him?

If he or she is identified , I will
give money in a limited way.
Must be quite grown by now. Does anyone
know the actual child?

It happens because Indians do not
identify with India.
Our primitive, oppressive society has
prevented its so called members from
feeling like Owners or being a part of it.
Merely lecturing people about benefits of National Unity is not enough. We have to
actually practice Unity first, i.e.,
consider everyone's interests equally
when arranging our National Affairs.

Display of Unity arising from Rousing
Speeches in times of War has misled
us to believe that we are a United
Nation. In fact we are not a Nation
at all. Everyone who lives here is
in for his piece of the cake, and devil
take the Hind Most. No one wants to
return anything to the Nation because
they are all Tenants or Exploiters
not Owners.

Hi man get the defination of Martyrs rights. Gandhi, Indira, Rajeev were Martyrs. Nehru was half Martyr. Rest all are ordinary or terrerosts like Bhagat Singh and Chandershekhar Azad. This is still taught in CBSE syllabus.
Why are you talking of people who died protecting parliament? That is there job. If they dont do it they wil be traiters.

Right, but They at least did their Job honestly.
How many Indians do that?
We ought to honor them for that rare thing.
