This piece is an advice to the numerous Indian youth just like me. If we do not act quickly we might have to face oblivion or bitter tastes of failure and insult.
Everyone knows the allegory of David and Goliath and many of my colleagues, decorated vets of the editing team may find this example childish. But this can prove to be a contemporary personification in the world politics. And yes I am talking about India and china and their mellifluous relationship a consortium of lies and deceit.
Many of us might argue that this is an unjust example of the world scenario. But I would like to quote only one thing to them “well can’t you see that each and every kernel of the Indian society is breached by corruption, take the CWG for example”. But yes, if we try and seclude ourselves of the irony we will realize that things are getting worst.
“History repeats itself” a statement that has proved itself on and over time and yet again the world is standing on the cusp of a cold war, one whose victor will become the superpower of the world. But do not be pleased by finding India in race to being a superpower. In this case David’s slingshot is plagued by corruption, un-education, poverty and overpopulation. It’s like showing to the world our ignorance towards contraceptives and bribing.
While on the other hand goliath being bigger in size is still increasing its strength economic, military and social. This has been its forte since its inception. A strategy to surround India by befriending its rivals and providing them nukes in spite of worldwide objections clearly shows its motive. Spoiling the brats across the border and encouraging them in fueling terrorism and naxalitism has unveiled china’s true identity. With immense workforce and mammoth projects like the Brahmaputra dam, are acting as a wakeup call for every Indian. With the prime ministers laptop breached by Chinese hackers and uncorroborated reports of communication losses with ISRO’S INSAT 4B, dominating India at every stratum, it would be an understatement that “we are in trouble”.
It’s a faceoff between fiendish and veiled communalism and a corrupt and failing democracy. How much we argue the facts state that in case of a war, there would be no place for us to hide our asses. This can be clearly depicted by India’s situation in the world politics. Being the second biggest and population and army it still has no place in the UN Security Council, one recently allotted that too temporary just to keep us happy in our bubble, a bubble in which the struggle of a normal Indian is confined to bread and cloth and shelter if he’s in luck.
This is not a demoralizing article rather a demeaning one showing us who we really are. If this David needs to survive the goliath and his minions he’ll have to bring about a socio-economic revolution or else face oblivion. With the tag of a third world country slowly fading away I urge every youth, even one with iotic feelings of pseudo-love for his country to realize his responsibilities and help in ameliorating India’s situation instead of updating his/her status on facebook.
“WE THE YOUTH HAVE IMMENSE ENERGY AND STRENGTH, WHICH IF WE PUT IN ARDUOUS EFFORTS AND HARNESS NO RED NATION WILL EVER THINK OF CROSSING US AND SURVIVING ON OUR BEST DAY.“
