Building a Stronger India as a World Leader

A Nation (Raashtra) to become a Nation (Raashtra) needs an awakening . A sense of home coming, a sense of affinity to what is ours .The passion to recreate the glory of a nation.

For this we need a powerful strong leadership. We need a population that is aware of its civic responsibility and has high moral standards.

For a nationalistic spirit we have to take complete pride in what we are and love the heritage we hail from. Self awareness along with spiritual development we can build a Raashtra that is a formidable force .This again calls for complete sacrifice just like the forefathers did during pre independence era from the foreign yoke. A whole generation has to put at stake everything that matters so that we can lay the foundation to create that free nation where we have an egalitarian society and deal with complacency by severe punishment.

This means we have to go back to the basics,

1) Give up this life style and embrace simple disciplined life
2) Set good moral examples of family integration
3) Focus on re-introducing joint family traditions which is the base for a society and also recession proof
4) Ceaselessly work on indoctrinating the population as to who we are and our roots as change champions
5) Destroy the petty differences and unite the population under one banner and one feeling of nationalism
6) Establish one single Dharmic pillar (sense of duty)
7) Generate three tier leadership .One to lead from the front at the helm another to Monitor/govern and third one to lead the movement at the grassroot level
8) We need to create a mechanism to adopt the "CREATION OF FORTUNE At the bottom of the pyramid " principles of CK Prahalad as an answer to the Khadi movement of the pre independence era so that it brings involvement of the common man in every village into the fold as it pulls the urbanites for socio-economic balance and equality, minus the greed and avarice for over indulgence in wealth

In the nirman (creation) of a Raashtra there is no place for dualism. There is no place for softness/complacency or laziness and there is no place for "middle path"

There should be a powerful emotional connection of the motherland and the need for its protection.

What I wish to ask you readers is, is the current population or the leadership willing to make this sacrifice. Do we have that leadership that will lead from the front with courage and for whom we shall be ready to sacrifice our lives? Do we have such a Leadership with such moral standards and integrity???

A Raashtra is above all political parties, selfish motives, wealth and status or power seeking.

A Raashtra during Shivaji or Krishnadevaraya was possible as they were not tormented by world politics nor was there any human rights commission nor UNO or worst still the USA . They cared little for all those external factors and established the DHARMA

But today we cannot wage wars to seek our purpose nor enforce anything without the Human rights crying foul and the govt on its knees most of the time trying to do only firefighting.

In this state of affair SAANATHANA DHARMA PRACHAR (simple living high thinking) has to become active but we also cannot forget the reality that if Raashtra feeling has to be created then it cannot be done with the current ADHARMA sentiments in citizens of abusing the resources and limiting their welfare within the walls of their homes.

Religious sentiments are subservient to nationalistic values and emotions

We have to figure a way out how to engage minds that will contribute in rebuilding the community and rise above the emotional divides of the religion and petty dogmas that are myopic in the content of the true essence of the almighty.

Culturally India has had diverse and multi tier society which seriously needs correction from within and throw all baggage’s of the unhealthy fractured past and relate back to the Saanathana Dharma.The Dharma (Duty) of every India should be to uphold values and lead a life of simplicity and respect the natural resources. Go back to the source of all religion.Saanathana Dharma is a way of life and all religions across the planet find its basics in the Saanathana Dharma principles. That is to love one another and living in harmony and peace.


Kautilya in Arthashastra

“It is better not to have a nation at all rather than having a bad state as when the heart of the nation is corrupt with inequality and unjust it will be subjected to the rule of the rogues on earth”


Again it must not be mistaken that a Raashtra as a religious crusade. It is a tradition of a nation that people hold in high esteem above all religion and have highest regards for national heroes .This is the love of the motherland far overpowering all desires and material gains.

We have in the post independence period dwelled completely on the past laurels of our noble leaders and forgotten our own duties and commitment to our present which has now led India to be divided and fragmented into a asymmetric society which is so lost in the intoxication of its current changing status and petty local differences that the sense of a national spirit has evaporated. We have become the very oppressors that we set out to free ourselves from and the poor have become poorer, well being subjected to suppression of their voices as while as their sovereignty to basics like food water and shelter.

The Metros celebrate on the success stories of globalization – a society that has lost its soul while the people on the fringe of the society and the rural India wails with its farmers and local tribes losing the land, occupation, soaked in debt under the guise of industrialization and development driven to extremity besides irreversible ecological damage .

The question is have we attained “Purna Swaraj” – complete sovereignty? This was first proposed in 1905 and thus far have we even come close to it. A right is that which one gets freely in nature but an entitlement is that which the state entitles its people as benefits. The western world have bestowed on its people innumerable social entitlements where people thrive out on the benefits from the state. In the former no fiscal planning is required while the later is burdened with fiscal planning. A nation cannot by entitlement alone render welfare to its people. This is obviously by the way in the west in the last few years countries have gone burst as the entitlement cost soon over took its resources. Therefore a strong nation is one who allows sustainable growth and income at the basic family structure and emphasizes the sense of rights. The small scale industry is a very good model and also a powerful means to reduce conflict where economic growth is unequal. This will allow a balance that will enable our women dignity and our backyards with the children laughter and play with education and not lose their childhood to factories and menial jobs.

Devoid of this means, that in the current unequal growth India can soon get fragmented from the tensions within. The Telangana movement, Tamil Nadu seeking out of the Federal union, the Maoist have sunk its claws from the far north east to the southern most states tearing the fabric of the a united country in violence and fear, the lawlessness in UP and Bihar with the undercurrent of secessionism in Kashmir, Assam, Chatisgarh, the vulgar display of wealth by a select few who hold power and are in glove with corrupt officials.External threats from the vast track of India still in the control of China and Pakistan while on the Indian map we refuse to acknowledge it almost as if we are suffering from periodic amnesia. The strange encircling activities by our powerful neighbour China with its internal labour unrest is something that should be giving us sleepless nights as we might see the repeat of 1962 war in 2013-2014 only this time India will be weakened at the foundation. Tragedy is that we don’t have the same nationalistic spirit as displayed in 1962 compared to the present day as people are far too petty minded and limited to individual existence with fractured family values.

We lament today, that we are a fallen lot, spiritually bankrupt and so entrapped with our selfish mindset in “Tamas guna”(materialistic quest) , that we are not willing to make even an ounce of commitment to bring a change that is echoing in our hearts, in our dreams, in our soul.

We stand in Critical and historic times when actions made now will determine how the very existence of mankind will prevail in this century and beyond.

We have choices to make at cross roads

Be silent spectators to our own lives in inaction letting the rising critical tide scatter all that Bharatvarsh (Ancient India) has passed on to us and disappear into oblivion in meaningless existence.

OR

Rise and stand to be the cause in the matter of this opportunity that is smiling upon this nation and let us be a part of the change in the light of the new dawn by seizing the tide of our times and transforming it into a pathway to re-establish peace, harmony and sustained existence in collaboration across this planet.

We are only now awakening and all it takes is just handful of highly strong minded individuals with high integrity and commitment to usher the change.

As the whole world ages and looks upon India to show the way forward for mankind, the people of India are looking upon the young-istan today to lead the way.

As Vivekananda Swami echoed a century ago “Rise and AWAKE, rest not till the goal is achieved”

He perhaps knew these times and his words reverberated through the passing generations to be heard today to reach your ears…….to remind you
