The way to nation building

India is about to write another chapter in history. It is crucial for all of us to keep nation building on right path and do nothing to harm nation's foundation. No one should harm nation's fundamentals just to win elections.

The way to nation building is through keeping fundamentals right.

- Democracy
 Democracy is soul of India. It resonates with India's diversity. It is the democracy which gives people freedom and dignity to live. Democracy survives only till people feel free in expressing themself. Democracy survives only till people question without fear.  Recently there was debate about questioning the act of Air Force done in nation's security. We all have utmost respect for our defense forces. We are and will always be in debt to their courage and sacrifice. Our forces have proven best in the world in terms of bravery, skill as well as being most human. They are professional and will never hesitate in answering any query posed to them. It is not right to name those questioning as anti national. Let questions be there and there will be right answer. That is how democracy works. Ridicule of questioning will only harm democracy.

- Nationalism
 It is unfortunate that people of India are chest thumping about self nationalism and questioning nationalism of others. Nation must remain alert about divide on such lines. Every citizen is nation loving citizen unless proven and convicted otherwise by court. No one has right to question other's love of nation. Did we ever see Mahatma Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose or Bhagat Singh cursing others about nationalism or thumping own chest about nationalism. Those who love nation work in silence and with grace. They do not claim that. 

- Security
Security of nation is our collective responsibility. We should not leave it entirely to defense services or police. They do more than ordinary human capability. We too have to play our role in this. Remember that war is no solution. Crossing LOC is a serious issue and doing that can harm India's interest in long run. India is a responsible nation. We have right to defend ourself. When any other nation harm us directly or indirectly by proxy war, we will for sure defend our nation. For this if war is necessary, we will fight. If it is war, it is war - open declared and to conclusion. But before that we must do everything to keep our nation safe. Correcting internal system is important. We must counter terrorism and naxalism by creating an effective system internally with good intelligence, tracing money in wrong hands, investigating suspicious people, checking internal network of such elements. No one should do politics on these issues.

- Secularism
 India is a diverse nation. History is full of examples that whenever people have gone into conflict about religion, caste, language or any other such factor it has harmed nation. Sarv Dharm Sambhaav is soul of our constitution. No government or political party should be seen as taking side or leaning towards any religion. Such a division will be disaster for nation. Any such action will only help enemies.

- Corruption
We must never go easy on corruption. India has remained low in transparency and accountability index. Corruption is biggest enemy of nation. It is main reason behind poverty. We must work tirelessly to ensure transparency and accountability.

- Media
 Media plays a big role in nation building. But sadly it has become partisan. Nothing can be a bigger anti national activity than this. It is not the job of media to judge or tell who is right who is wrong, who is good who is bad. Task of media is to report without prejudice. It is for people to judge.

- Core issues
We must remain focused on core issues like Development, Infrastructure, Economy and Jobs, Agriculture, Health, Education, Environment and others affecting people's life.


We, the people of India, have responsibility towards our nation. We should never do anything that can harm our nation even by slightest. Indeed it will be anti national if we do any such thing in selfish interest be it money, any favor, any advantage or winning election.

Credit goes to people

What can be more unfortunate and shameful?

Politicians across parties are shouting hard taking credit of everything under sun and cursing others.

Is this some kind of AHSAAN on nation if you have cleared some schemes or passed some orders.

Real credit goes to common citizen - farmers, soldiers, laborers, scientists, teachers, artists, doctors, engineers infact every common citizen from rickshaw puller to top officer. They have worked hard day and night. How can politicians take credit?

Development of a nation is a continuous process. Good and bad are part of it. Just look at some pictures of 1947. What was the condition? What kind of state we were in? Today if we stand in top 5 nations of the world, it is due to hard work of common citizens. This is an on going nation building process. We have done well in last 70 years. In every field we have proven. Our economy, industrial growth, farm production, skill base every aspect has grown.

No doubt all governments have done some work. That is what they are suppose to do. Taking credit for that is like doctor taking credit for good treatment or soldier taking credit of saving nation. It is shameful on part of politicians to do chest thumping about development. Where is the grace of leadership? Instead of indulging in praising self they should talk about problems and difficulties and how they plan to work about those issues.

We still have many challenges. Poverty, crimes, corruption, poor infrastructure, terrorism and others. These have remained under all political parties. This is where we need to work. We will be successful only if we work in united manner. We will face barriers if we curse and blame each other. We need to support and compliment each other, merge our energies to raise the flag of our nation.

We need to be honest and sincere with each other. Chest thumping and cursing each other is pure dishonesty and dishonest are not patriotic. This is the question that politicians and media must ask themself. Their petty interest are more important or serving nation?

Win without war

Think before action

There is growing noise about revenge and war. India must be cautious. Do not fall in trap of Pakistan.

Talking about war is easy but know well how hundreds of millions will perish and those all will be innocent. There is a strange trend of terming those talking about peace as anti national. This is not so. There are two ways of nationalism. Just like we had at the time of Independence. Some will have anger and talk about revenge. Others will try to serve nation through peaceful ways. Bhagat Singh and Mahatma Gandhi both were patriotic in own way. Mahatma Gandhi has shown how we can be victorious against evil without acts of aggression.

No doubt what Pakistan has done in last few decades by promoting terrorism is against humanity. It has tried to harm India. We need to stop that. We are pained, we are in anger but we must act towards our specific goal.

Mark your goal clear.

Our goal is to end terrorism. Our goal is to defeat evil design of Pakistan. Our goal is not to crush Pakistan and its innocent people. Know this difference clearly. This can be done without war. And we have done it well over the years.

Understand clearly. Pakistan is totally focused on war. It will try best to provoke India. It has single goal of keeping India engaged in acts of war, direct or proxy. For this they are nurturing such elements. India must understand we need not attack to destroy camps or kill terrorists. More camps will come up, more terrorists will be there. Crossing LOC again and again will not be good in long run.

Use brain more than arms.

Development - This is our biggest advantage. Today due to years of hardwork, India is far ahead of Pakistan. There is no comparison. Government has India over decades has done good work in keeping India on constructive path of development. This is the result that we are among top 5 nations today.

Non cooperation - Do acts of assertive pressure. Stopping excess water of rivers, economic sanctions and other such actions are valid steps of creating pressure.

International pressure - India has good relations with all nations and we must enhance this. We must continue effort in making awareness in all nations about what Pakistan is doing and how it is bad for world. Indian entry in OIC is a big step.

Proof of terrorism - India must support its case by showing more proofs of Pakistan's involvement in acts of terror in International forum like UN.

Engage people of Pakistan - There must be some sensible people in Pakistan. India must engage them and impress upon them the urgent need creating an atmosphere of sanity in Pakistan. People of Pakistan are also suffering due to misdeeds of Pakistan. Common citizens want to live in peace and have development. They may succumb to propaganda for sometime but in long run they will see reality of harm of nurturing evil forces. There must be a revolution in by the People against such evil forces.

Security - We must make rapid progress in enhancing our security. Our defense forces have done tremendous work in keeping nation safe as well as fighting terrorism. They must remain in acts of defense. India must make itself faultless in security both external and internal. We have a lot of work to do internally. We need to work on intelligence, infrastructure, the system, police law and judiciary and other such measures. We must see that those inside supporting evil forces are quickly identified and dealt with through effective system of justice. Innocent people must be protected.

Unity - Our unity is our strength. Evil forces will try to create a divide. We must defeat that. We must remain one irrespective of religion, caste, culture, language, region or political affiliation. Do not question nationalism of one another. We all love our nation. Our ways may be different.


Our fight is against evil. It is not against any nation or its people. We can win and we will win for sure.
