KNOW THY ENEMY
Never trust the British after what they have done to the world to get to their pelf and power. They are hypocrites even today. Just the pretence of civilisation while inner barbarism reigns unholy yet.
We, Indians, must never forget what they have done to us in their perfidious reign for two centuries in our holy land which has been despoiled and desecrated by their lustful presence. That we have won our freedom has not been a gift from these thugs across the Atlantic but has been the coarse consequence of the torment suffered by our countless millions and the blood, red-rich, spilled from the arteries of our martyrs to freedom. We must never forget the lasting divide the British created in our polity to partition our motherland --- for which they will have to pay one day with dismemberment of their nation, too --- nor must we forgive them ever for every deceit they practised on us to wrest our liberty and reduce us to beasts of burden from which we suffer even today thanks to the continuation of the Raj in its new avatar as the political dispensation since Independence, whatever the term may mean, anyway.
We must reorganise ourselves to reclaim our history and heritage, not by clamouring like spoilt children who have been denied their playthings but like mature citizens, knowledgeable and possessed of character and conviction, who shall rise in self-consciousness to build up the collective consciousness of our countrymen. Knowledge is wealth and knowledge is power. So, arise, my countrymen, and seize this opportunity to know more about your own culture. Stop imitating other races, especially, this Anglo-American culture that is eating into the vitals of our educated urban citizenry, and arise to a sense of nationalism. In this self-awakening lies the future glory of our nation. Forget not your history, how you lost your freedom to hordes of Islamic invaders and then to the Europeans of a worse kind so that the sun of the Sanatan Dharma sank below the horizon for a thousand years and is now beginning to redden the eastern sky once more ever since the advent of Ramakrishna and Vivekananda. Will you allow a second eclipsing of it?
