A Letter from Dharma....
Dear India,
I am the jwala that ignites Indian hearts...I
am the consciousness which leads the way... I am
dharma....
India...where do you stand today??? Where is the
ahimsa that saved you from vile hands of
adharma...? Where are your leaders who promised
that they will be alive at the hearts of Indians...?
India... what have you done?...You are
hiding warmongers in the shade of development...
You have become deaf to the crying of your
children...you are shutting down your senses
towards poverty and other matters of
concern...why?
The father of the nation is
deceived...murderers are worshiped in his place... You
fight for the reasons unknown. Justice is a myth.
Truth is a lie. India.... you are fading...and everyone
except you are realizing it...
You are still following the failed paths
trodden black...you are forgetting who you
are...who you were...your history is confined to
textbooks...your legacy is concealed. Independence
day celebrations are a ritual in memory of a cryptic
episode. National anthem is a moment to celebrate
silence amidst noise... Dear India, what have you
become...?
.
You are being silenced, your potentials
hampered. Bravery is rewarded with death. Your children are running away from you...they are
running away from themselves....in fear of what? Failure? Lack of recognition? Lack of money...?
India, where do you stand
today...? You still are a developing country...a
country where people die of hunger each day...a
country where women can't sleep peacefully in their
own homes...a country where people are still judged
by the colour of their skin... Is the appointed day yet
to come...or is it an illusion to comfort your poor
sons and daughters who expect justice during each
elections ?
Speak up...India...I built you... I lead
you....I fought for you...and I am still alive in you...
From,
Dharma
