A nation’s economic
progress and development can be measured by its GDP and growth rate, but
its sustainability and distribution of wealth proportionately to every citizen
including poorest of the poor, depends upon the character of people in
government. If people in governance are honest and
follow rules of law then everybody across the board gets benefited and
government manage to raise funds to run social programs for the
betterment of its people. In contrary, if they are corrupt morally and
ethically then money gets misappropriated and people at large remain hungry and
poor despite drum beatings of development and economic prosperity.
Therefore, character of a nation and its people tells the whole story of nation’s moral and ethical standards, and its prosperity in long run.
The character also determines how honestly and diligently politicians use the growth model in economy for the welfare of people. The nature of welfare and its implementation depends upon how passionate we are as politicians in planning and executing programs for the benefit of people. The history of India shows how rich the country was in terms of natural resources, culture, heritage, bravery, spirituality, and human intelligence. If we do not talk about the ancient period of Satya Yuga or Dwapar Yuga or the period of Raja Harishchandra or Raja Ramachandra, then the latest physical evidence of India’s oldest civilization- Harappa or Indus Valley Civilization is 3000 BCE or 5000 years old from now. Even the contemporary culture on the Nile River built the first pyramid at Giza between 2575 and 2150 BCE. Since then and till today when the population has already grown many folds, India has been and is self-sufficient in many respect in comparison to other developing nations of the world.
In spite of having inherent richness, India’s wealth and capacity to become one of the richest nation on earth has been constantly undermined, sabotaged, incapacitated and plundered- first by foreign invaders in the past and then by its own citizens and politicians of modern time. The history of India is marred with forgery, deception and treachery. When Mahmud Gazni of Ghazna (a city in south eastern Afghanistan) invaded and looted India 17 times from 971 to 1030 AD, then it was the purpose to expand his empire and fill the royal coffers. When Muhammad Ghori of Ghurid dynasty again from Ghor region of Afghanistan tried to invade India constantly between 1178 and 1192 AD and ultimately became successful in defeating Prithiviraj Chauhan, a king of Ajmer and Delhi with the help of his father-in-law Raja Jai Chandra of Kanauji, again there was a purpose to expand the empire by subjugating different kingdoms and plunder invaded country’s wealth.
Likewise, Genghis Khan of Mongol Empire of Mongolia raided India several times between 1221 and 1327 AD, and the purpose was to subjugate and rule the ‘Golden Bird’ (that’s what India used to be called in foreign lands). Descendents of Mongol Dynasty established Mughal Empire in 1526 to 1707 from Zahir-ud-din Muhammad Babur to Aurangzeb. They were the rulers of India so cannot be termed as raiders or invaders. The British captured India by treachery and ruled for almost 100 years and the purpose was to expand the British Empire and enrich their own country.
As a reader of this article, you must be wondering what India’s history has to do with its character assassination. By citing history, one can compare how India was desecrated time and again first by foreign invaders and then by its own people. It also provides an opportunity to compare the level of degradation or degeneration taken place in our morality and character since then and now. Foreign raiders or invaders were justified in their actions and as being outsiders, it was their purpose to rob or loot the invaded countries of its wealth and expand their regime. As such, they had no attachment or feelings whatsoever with the invaded countries and its people. Surprisingly, even after being plundered of its wealth and glory so many times in past, India could never lose its national character and pride and that was the reason that every time it bounced back and became the center of attraction.
Now the nature of invaders and plunderers has changed and instead of foreigners, India is being looted by its own citizens and politicians in the garb of democracy and constitutional framework. The situation has become so grim that it gives the feeling of India being invaded by ancient looters and deceivers like Ghazni, Ghori, Genghis Khan and Jai Chandra being transformed into the forms of our current ministers, politicians, sycophants and opportunists. In the case of foreign invaders and looters, it was easier to identify them and make a battle plan, but it is the astounding task now to weed out these looters and deceivers in India’s political system and the society. Irony is that those who are responsible to identify and punish these criminals, are themselves engaged in looting and assassinating India’s character on a scale not known to mankind before.
The process of degeneration and decay in moral values and characters did not happen overnight but unfortunately it was started by one of our former Prime Ministers in the year 1980. In order to defeat the government of the Janata Party, criminal elements were encouraged to enter politics by giving them party tickets so that they and their goons are able to terrorize people and manipulate polling booths to win elections. Since then, their numbers have multiplied several folds at every level of governance and people have forgotten to imagine politicians without having criminal records. It will not be innocuous to name these goons in power and how they are looting and raping their own motherland by playing divisive and dirty politics beyond imagination.
Therefore in a current situation, India needs an iron man with integrity as its leader to deal with Ghazni, or Jai Chandra of Indian politics. It is not the first time when we had a dictator in democratic framework. We have experienced how governance of India came to an orderly manner in the initial period of the Emergency Rule imposed by Mrs. Indira Gandhi in the years 1975 to 1977. It is the same congress party which imposed emergency rule in India in the seventies and now ruling, but is scared of Mr. Narendra Modi who has already proved his administrative skills leadership quality as Chief Minister of Gujarat and, not one time but three times in succession and that too without imposing any emergency. If India needs to build its character and bring back the glory then it needs an iron hand to deal with the goons and the criminals in the Indian political system.
People have forgotten that it was not the former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru but the home minister and deputy prime minister Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel who was able to make India united by securing Jammu & Kashmir, Junagadh and Hyderabad in the year 1947. He used armed forces to tame Nizam of Hyderabad when Mr. Nehru was on a tour to Europe. If Hyderabad would not have been annexed into India then one can imagine the loss as the erstwhile Sate of Hyderabad ruled by Nizam consisted parts of present Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra. That is why Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel is called ‘Iron Man of India’.
Therefore we need a person like Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel to deal with the current political situation in India and promote unequivocally the most deserving candidate Mr. Narendra Modi as the Prime Ministerial candidate for containing divisive forces who are continuing to assassinate the character of India.
