BE WORTHY OF NETAJI, O FOLLOWERS OF THE HERO!

The youth must feel inspired by Netaji to live disciplined lives of self-restraint and study, self-sacrifice and service, if they wish to be worthy of the great man who gave his everything in the nation's cause. Mere effusions in his name will not conduce to much good nor will such frothy emotionalism further his cause of nation-building. Even the resurrection of the INA and its Netaji from the falsities and fabrications of history, recorded by mercenaries masquerading as historians, is a far cry if the youth do not have a disciplined approach towards the study of Indian history before they attempt the rewriting of the true narrative of the freedom struggle.

Emotions are precious and they must be harnessed before they are offered as humble submissions at the altar of the motherland. Then, and then alone, will real work be done as substantive research by self-effacing soldiers of the soul will farm the fallow soil of the day, pregnant with possibilities though, to reap the harvest of autumn with a springtime of blossom to follow which will be the life and feast for all. Netaji and his army of liberation will then be resurrected and rightfully reinstated where they belong, at the pinnacle of the political pantheon of independent India.

This then is the work at hand and it requires discipline, diligence and dedication. Character will have to be built first and with it must combine an adamantine will which nothing can suppress but which can subdue all opposition lying in the path of fulfilment of the mission at hand. For this one needs thought-force and zeal born out of sublimity of the soul with purity, physical and psychological, as the prerequisites. The mind being controlled and the senses harnessed, the whole soul may be poured out in the service of the motherland which in essence is Netaji's cause. Let us exhort the youth to lead such lives of purity, patience and perseverance, to quote Netaji's spiritual anchor, Swami Vivekananda, as they gear themselves to resuscitate the sinking masses of eternal India lying prostrate on the seashore of perennial life.

Netaji was a son of the soil and no Occidental imposition on our land.The mission of eternal India is his mission too and in its fulfilment will awake the valour among countless countrymen of his to take up the cause of his forgotten army's as well. The valorous alone can honour the valorous. Let the youth of India awake to national self-fulfilment and obliteration of the personal self that Netajis' dream of a renascent India may come to fruition. Upon thee, O efflorescent youth, lies the mandate of thy leader to march through the jungles of Burma, to ford the rivers in spate, to cross the high Himalayas en route to the capital city. Remember, the roads to Delhi are many and the victory parade is yet to be, the march of the invincible INA along the broadway of the Red Fort. Chalo Dilli!
