BUILD THE NATION, DO NOT DESTROY IT

BUILD THE NATION, DO NOT DESTROY IT

Yes, I know. I also know that politicians do what they do---and often protesters too lie in hunger strike by way of pursuit of perfidious political agenda---to suit their personal political interest. So I am not moved into tears beholding their juicy juice-handing show of surface sympathy. After all politicians are politicians born to rule like rogues at any cost and protesters are protesters often, not always, pretending patriotism but delivering deeper directives from Deep States abroad in alliance with antinational agents galore within. The history of India is replete with such instances and they have helped enslave us for a millennium and their day is not yet done it seems. 'Svachchha Bhārat Abhiyān' ought to clean up such viruses within and render the polity pure so that patriotism true may endure. This is national security at stake with repeated drives partially paralysing the State for months and failing to deliver the coup d'état. But such failed forces of the past must not be underestimated as permanently failing for their fangs are full of poison deep and each time they dig deep into the polity their released toxins enter deep into the bloodstream of the nation's youth and alter their understanding of the nation's interests and imperatives till the critical mass be reached when the State may be overthrown by insurrection within. 

Beware, my revolutionary friends, our nation is being subjected to destabilising forces by foreign powers who would not tolerate a tenth of such trouble were the scales to be reversed by us against them. But we are a civilised race, fair and square in every sense, who do not venture beyond our borders to create chaos in other men's lands. But we have a right to defend ours and a responsibility holy to do so. Hence, desist from antinational activities and help build our much molested motherland for a millennium so that she may reach her pristine civilisational heights and surpass them in a manner that today, perhaps, no myopic man may envisage but which Swamiji in his seer's vision had beheld clear and announced it to us, legatees of our nation's past and builders of her future.
