Our country is doomed so long we remain cowards and, so, ungrateful in our forgetfulness of our revolutionary heroes who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. A nation devoid of gratitude, manhood enough in rising to virile remembrance of the ones who gave their all for its freedom does not deserve the best in the world and must suffer, so, at the hands of all those countries who treat their heroes better.
It is a shame that a nation that prides itself on spirituality must be so sunk in inhumanity and ignorance that its brightest stars remain hidden from its vision by the cloud cover of its own despicable living, its downright degradation of culture, its abysmal effeminacy of the intelligentsia, the educated and the so-called highly literate. Even the average run of humanity in this country, among the middle classes, are callous about these seminal personalities and are content to go about their humdrum existence, chasing the means of daily survival merely.
Such opacity can scarce make a nation in any manner spiritual and it is a shame that it is so. Vivekananda today hides his head in shame and so does Netaji Subhas that their motherland should be begetting only cowards ever since they castigated their followers and struck up the fire of revolution in their sinews, in their bloodstream, in their every pulse-beat that eventually liberated the nation.
Shame ! Shame ! Shame !
