The Dream in the Clouds

I remember a line from the movie ‘Swades’ back in some 2000s, ‘If everyone keeps telling nothing can change in this country, this country is rushing towards desctruction,,. Then one day this country will really become defunct….,’

As I think of the times that are ongoing in the country and all of the times that have since past since this motion picture…., this voice is gone from the landscape of the hyper inflammatory statement age we are living in now in our motherland..

In fact I do not repent that there is an absence of the hero’s voice warning us,,. But I feel the absence of infact the average guy realizing that this country is in all reality moving towards being defunct….,

People used to say that India is going to be a Superpower,,. A 21^st century superpower that became developed by 2020,,,,. That’s only little less than 3 years away.., do we really see our country becoming developed…,

No doubt there was development under the grand old party’s 10 year rule under a humble man whose words as international community remembers as TO BE LISTENED.., because they had value.. The only thing that that this party believed in not popularizing based on the hyperpnoea about development but about the solid facts and numbers as I had also been saying…., This silent yet stupendous PM Singh still reminds me that silence is not a sign of weakness…,

I heard in a recent discussion on TV featuring the renowned journalist Bharkha Dutt that this party needs to innovate or die out…, what is actually meant by this resembles to me that the disruptive politics…., the sayonara to the actual issues and inserting one or other of the flammatory topic once and now in between and keep on changing can be innovation by being disruptive politics,,,,. But it’s not what she might have had in mind when she said that…, she meant as a well wisher…., then why my actual meaning view..,

Because that’s exactly my point,,. We have been living in age taught by our mostly bought out media except one news channel NDTV.., that topics concerning our nation are short lived…., one month.. one week or even two days and then some new topic has to come to keep us alive and divided over issues…., sounds like the 2014 election again…., so has anything really changed.., the answer is big NO..

We are living like the historians who after asserting about our last 8000 years of history that too vaguely known and is unjustified and they think that they know about the creation of life through evolution and yet there is not one proof that humans evolved from say chimpanzees or something…, nobody wonders for one sec the mysteries in our own mind let alone for craving for solving the mysteries of Egyptian pyramids,,. Think out of the box,,. What if the pyramids were a coverup to feed a mystery,,. Mystery itself.. Mystery fed to keep the masses under a false façade and keep ruling…,

And as I come back to my country and my own point…., I see the same happening in my country…., we are looking through the glasses of one day, one week and hardly ever one month…., This pollutes the mind.., that pollutes the environment of the 90% of the people in this country who are pro discussion and reject dissent which is false and yet reserve the right of another to dissent…, and finally it pollutes the constitution’s spirit….,

I am not speaking about the freedom fighters from the view of school books or party propaganda,,. Not boasting just stating that I myself have read about our history from people like Ramchandra Guha’s ‘India after Gandhi’ which is magisterially documented and based on actual government documents which have been released among other trustworthy sources….,

Now as I ponder over the Dream that the young Indian had that my country will be just and peace will prevail over the darkness of false nationalism, false religion views (we are still secular by the way), false sectarian, of casts, financial divisions propagated by these enemies of peace and stability in country who rule today and feed this happening of short liveness of news to feed their purposes of ruling and feeding finally money into their accounts and their nexus all over the world…, there was a report of hack done last year from an Indian who published the numbers that Dawood the gangster calls from his home in Pakistan and it lists the Maharashtra Government’s ministers…,the ruling BJP there…, this is just the tip of the iceberg….,

So what am I asking by the means of this blog post article to you the reader.., I am just trying to tell you that we had a dream,,. A Dream in the Clouds.., forgotten today.., and I will not speak about that Dream Here.., all I am asking of you is to first tell you that that Dream’s view to you is marred by thick clouds of prejudice and behind the scenes reality hidden from you by these same people asking answers about corruption from the grand old party when they themselves are in fact the most corrupt,,. Moneywise and by mind..,

So let’s not get corrupted then,,. So then I ask of you secondly to stop chasing their ghosts as a TV reporter trying to fight with hooligans over Twitter (although I am on their side as well to fight them).., it’s because I am also one of you and that’s why as I tried and observed, try to see beyond the fog over the mists like Taj Mahal in the pic I chose over here….,

And then that will happen that these maniacs running our country and media fear will happen….,

YOU WILL SEE THE DREAM AGAIN..,

Let the thick clouds lift,,. Stop where you are.., think and ponder rather I would stay wonder what has happened to this country in the last 10-15 years,,. From what you remember.., find out like I AM.., reading about the views of our freedom fighters from credible sources like ‘Makers of Modern India’…, learn from the news that researches and tells.., that sees and tells.., (For eg. NDTV) rather than keeping on watching the max volume fights with brainy,,. No sense figures of our society..,

BECAUSE THEY ARE WATCHING US TODAY AND WONDERING IS THIS INDIA WE SET OUT TO IMAGINE, DREAM AND FIGHT FOR….,

The freedom fighters and our martyrs who are today in the creator’s company are watching us rather than pushing us as they know better about Democracy,,. That in Democracy it’s the people’s voice that counts.., tomorrow vote for a leader that sits with you in your fellowmen’s hut, drinks tea listening to people’s view in the villages rather that flying out of the country in his first year as a PM…., maybe staying just for the elections and he’ll be gone again…,

So, in the words of Swami Vivekananada.., ‘Arise, awake and work towards this goal till the goal is achieved..,’ till the Dream is as clear as the sky and as saffron as our FLAG and as Pristine as The TAJ...,
