Let us start a veritable crusade for the resurrection of the true history of the freedom struggle and the restoration of the pride of the armed revolutionaries who sacrificed the most for it, far more than the votaries of 'non-violence' who were cowards covering their weakness under pretentious epithets and were most violent towards their own countrymen. It is here that at this distant date from the rumblings of the first thunder that had shaken the Empire that we, their successors, unworthy in valorous terms, perhaps, but not unworthy in our hearts' ardour and in sympathetic vibration to theirs, come in and offer our ploughshare to the cultivation of our national culture, the unearthing of history, buried no more in minuscule capsule underground (courtesy, Indira Gandhi) but in decaying files in governmental secret vaults. We must set to work in unison, drowning the ego and self-interest in the copious waters of the oceans, to pilfer from a Vivekananda quote, and systematically flood the world with the message of the real messiahs of freedom and the saga of their suffering in revolutionary work to bring to future generations the bliss of liberty which they never enjoyed during their lifetime. This is our mission, this our life's work which we will achieve and bequeath to posterity even as our glorious ancestors in arms had bequeathed unto us the priceless gift of freedom. Jai Hind!
