Making of a Rashtra

Rashtra Nirman is sacred goal for every citizen.

We are because nation is. So without doubt or hesitation every individual must make best effort and contribution in nation building.

But there must be a sincere and wise vision how we wish to see our nation.

Soul of India is diversity and pluralism. Any attempt to impose singular ideology will damage the soul of nation.

Some people talk and promote a particular way of living, eating, dressing as nation building. There is talk about naming nation with a particular religious ideology. In the process we see hate speech, violence and use of power. Is this nation building?

Those who talk about nationalism and nation building must be very thoughtful, sensible and responsible in every word and deed. You are shaping identity of this great nation which is not just another nation. This nation is a great and oldest civilization. This nation has proved to be spiritual leader to the world. This nation has shown path of peace and brotherhood to humanity. You must not do anything to blot the soul of the nation.

Before we say or do anything, we must be accountable for

- We are shaping identity of nation
- We are shaping image of nation in the world
- We are giving atmosphere to future generations

There are many rogue nations in this world. They are powerful too. And indeed they have caused wrong to us. But this does not mean we need to follow their footsteps. We need not forget philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi. Remember real power is not in anger, hatred or violence. Real power on which world survives is in truth, peace and love. And this does not mean we should not become strong economically or in ability to protect our land. We must become strong to defeat all evil designs. For this most basic thing we need is internal harmony and unity.

All our words and deeds must satisfy basic criteria of a strong, successful and happy nation

- There should be no hate, violence or use of power against anyone
- Sarwjan hitaay Sarwjan sukhaay must always be the mantra
- No one should feel hurt or oppressed
- Unity and harmony should not get affected
- Real focus must remain on elimination of crimes, corruption and poverty

These must remain test of nationalism and nation building. Anything that satisfy these criteria can then be promoted. Anything that does not satisfy these criteria, is against the concept of nation and is anti national activity. Infact any word or act that goes against these criteria is straightaway helping the enemies of nation.

No one should be casual with nation or impose anything that goes against Spirit of India. Beware ! In the name of nationalism, do not help enemies of India.
