Let sanity prevail

Do not play with emotions and pride of people.

Shouting, blaming, abusing and similar will do no good for nation. And this is true even if some people do it in the name of good cause or nationalism. Be sure about it. You are doing no good to nation or humanity. You are infact doing just the opposite - damaging the nation and humanity.

People often get overwhelmed but we have to be very prudent when it comes to nation and nationalism.

Get the facts right, be sensible and honest in approach and then say or do something.


About Kashmir
- Kashmir is integral part of India and will remain so. And this includes part occupied by Pakistan and China. Entire nation is one on that and is committed. We will get part of our motherland back, for sure. But for this we need to have united voice and result oriented approach.
- Our army and entire defense force is one of the best in the world. And they know their job well. They know how to keep nation safe. They know what to do, when to do and how to do. They have respect and support of entire nation. No one needs to tell them what when and how to do. We salute our forces. When neighboring nation is playing evil tricks, our forces know how to respond.
- We too need to play our role well. We must set our house in order. We need to speak in one language. We should not play blame game for selfish interest. Our borders must be secure to eliminate infiltration. We must have more effective intelligence to trace enemies within.
- When it is known that unrest is sponsored financially, we must find out who is financing unrest. Why banks are being looted?
- We must feel responsible when we post anything in social media. Nothing should be written or posted that spreads divide, hatred or bitterness.
- News channels must refrain from taking sides and creating disharmony. This is exactly what enemies want. Do not fall prey to them. Nation is strong united. News channels must not create divide.
- Article 370 must go. All political parties must come on same page on this. Status quo is detrimental. Let there be no half hearted or piecemeal approach.
- We need both approaches to run together. Strong action to punish who are in illegal activity, fueling unrest as well as making sure that innocent are saved. There must be dialogue not with fake leaders, but with actual residents of Kashmir including Kashmiri Pundits.

About nationalism and social media
- Be very cautious. Never play selfish game under cover of nationalism or presenting yourself of champion of nation, religion, language or even political party or leader. This is not only cheating the nation, this is a crime against humanity.
- No one should use abuses, filthy language, obscene intentions, threats or similar things under cover of nationalism. Do not give bad name to nationalism. If someone else is doing wrong then write against wrong action. Take stand against wrong but not by doing hundred times wrong.
- There is a tendency in some of talking big, thumping chest, insulting others in the name of nationalism or as champions of some religion, party or leader. Nationalism is not about thumping chest or shouting slogans. No one has right to question or certify another person's nationalism. How many of those who are shouting so loud on nationalism pay tax honestly. By cursing others you are proving biggest anti national. Two wrongs do not make right. We need to stop divide, hatred and bitterness. We need to speak in one voice. That is nationalism.
- News channels are also thumping chest on nationalism but do just the contrary. They too take sides, pass judgements and indulge in blame game. Loud, chaotic and senseless debates which are more about blame game instead on solution do more harm than good for nation. Their job is to put forward facts and let people debate about solutions. They must promote sanity and sensibility. But may be this is too much in asking.

Nation building does not take place by playing selfish ulterior game, shouting slogans, chest thumping or cursing and blaming others. We need to play our role with full commitment, be united, respect difference of opinion and work together towards constructive lasting solutions.

But for that we need to be honest with self and to nation. Are we ??
