We all need to stand up for the truth in these times when threats are so
rife. All that flowery oratory and pep talk by this Government over the
last ten years has not taken our nation forward. In fact our once great
country is falling to pieces.

Mere preaching that the nation must progress but having a private devious
agenda is not in keeping with the larger interests of the nation. All this
puts the Nation on the wrong track and for that the government does not
earn the confidence of its people.

Those public postures of intentions to make India the leader of the world,
is on the wrong path because of its religion-dominated agenda and the
hatred towards all other creeds arising from its patriotism. There may be
some fine individuals but their patriotism fills them with bitterness and
wrath towards every other creed that does not bow down to their skewed
agenda.

Patriotism is the last resort of the scoundrel, wrote Tolstoy in his essay
on “Government and Patriotism in the 1900s and it was promptly banned by
the then Russian government. Tagore did not approve of militant nationalism
and wrote a book (‘Nationalism’) which reportedly was approved as a
textbook by the British University. May better sense prevail in the leaders
taking our Nation down the tube to the cleaners.
