There were days when I used to wake up on listening to the beautiful songs and chants being played on the good old radio - The not too old India, just 15 years back. But what the hell? modern India - today I woke up by the noise created by the street fight. Can you believe it at 5.45 in the morning two so called 'Indian gentlemen' are beating each other till they bleed, that too for no good reason! The fight started for a silly reason of collecting water from public water tap! One guy is a shop keeper(kannadiga) n the other guy is head of a family which resides in the same building. The head of the family (probably rajasthani) got injured on temporal area and was bleeding. Listen to the funny thing the rajasthani told. The kannadiga abused him with a word 'bo**maga' and the rajasthani used the word 'madarch**'. And the rajasthani says he has never used such abusive words like 'bo**maga' in his entire life. And he even doesnt realise that the meaning of 'madarch**' is much worse than 'bo**maga'! Anyway the moral of the story is where are all the so called and praised 'Indian culture' gone? Gone with the modernisation?
Anytime when somebody asks us why "India is great?", without a miss all the answer we can come up with is " You see Mahabharath and Ramayan happened in India. Great Bhagavadgeeta was written in India. Vedas and all puranas were discovered by Indians. Lord Ram, Krishna were born in India. Gandhiji, Vivekananda etc etc." What a lame answer? We dont even realise all the above greatest achievements were because of individual talents. What the whole country has done with unity so far, except the freedom fight? What happened to the unity after we got the freedom? What the country has achieved with unity in these 60+ years? We always forget that even though Ram and Krishna did born in India, what about 'Asuras' India had given birth to, in the history? By the way what have we used our veda and puranas for? Did we implement their knowledge in education? Did it reach common man? Then its useless!
Indian have never made good use of what nature gave them! Best example after freedom unity in the country just disappeared. There are fights between states, castes, and even we fight everyday with all our neighbors for all silly silly reasons. You would get the best picture of it if you live in metropolitan cities. Metropolitan citizens fight like stray dogs everyday. They dont even have the proper etiquette to talk. Even if you use plural to talk respectfully with others, they will always use singular for you! WTF?
And what did we do when the world gave us petrol n diesel? Even today we Indians dont have traffic sense and road sense! We never follow the traffic rules and kill others! The other day one guy tried to overtake me when I was cornering to right with my indicator on, I asked him, "dont you know how to drive?", he, with mobile in one hand and riding Honda Dio with one hand says "Have you never committed a mistake in your life?" WTF? instead of accepting his mistake he is asking me nonsense questions! Anyway at least on road, after I took my bike I have never committed a mistake and the condition of my bike proves it! But when will we Indians learn to accept our mistakes? Is this the culture what Indians have borrowed from all vedas, puranas?
And money oh God! what it has done to the Indians in last 10 years? How many times we dont see a single person driving whole car without any passengers? They dont realise its effects on the environment? Fu** the environment, they cant have the simple logic that if they use it extravagantly, their children will never be able to see how petrol and diesel looked! Money has made us forget all relations and commitments with the people, country and environment! The other day one guy tells he can not afford to look after his mother in law! Where the great Indian concept of 'Joint family' gone? When he can look after his parents, why cant his wife's parents? They are not humans?
If I go on mentioning there are so many. And not only the present genereation to be blamed, what our ancestors gifted us? Hell lot of population? competition? peace less life? I mean it was so foolish to have 10-15 children? I agree that those days India didnt have good medical facilities, people used to die from plague. Having 1 or 2 spare kids is acceptable. You carry 1 or 2 spare tire for your car. Will you carry 10-15 tires with you to overcome punctures? Foolish!
Indians have been the best in the buisness when it comes to not following what they preach. India is secular country? If a person proves it to me I would give him 1 million rupee. India at present in 2012 is non-secular to its core. From past 60+ years what india has claimed as secularism, is 'Pseudo-secularism' in reality. Every government form we have to mention caste, sub caste and what not. Still people choose their leaders depending on their caste and not the ability. Open the news paper, everyday you would see at least one caste based fight a day! And what about marriges? In the name of culture they do not still prefer inter-caste marriages? I when the whole country is secular, how can you call any marriage as 'inter-caste'? Even today they take dowry in the name of culture!
How many times we have not seen bollywood and tv industry criticizing south Indians very badly? They always make jokes on our food 'idli'!Very interesting when our fellow countrymen do this to us!
Its never ending! The verdict is India is great at only surface level. The so called greatness of India is only for show-off. In every Indian citizen there is a thief today. They have been harboring this non-secularism, envy n many more social problems at their hearts from 60+ years. Its a slow poison! But definitely will dissolve the whole country.
