Till the day before yesterday, the highest civilian award, India could bestow upon her citizens, was Bharat Ratna. Since then, it is crying to change its name; the most appropriate one seems to be Akhand Bharat Ratna.
Bharat Ratnas were those who worked tirelessly in the face of tyranny of imperial British India to salvage a geography that reflected the essence of Indian subcontinent. It was well within the age old ideology of this land mass:
Bharat Ratnas were those who worked tirelessly in the face of tyranny of imperial British India to salvage a geography that reflected the essence of Indian subcontinent. It was well within the age old ideology of this land mass:
- non-expansionism of national border through war on others
- peaceful coexistence
- tolerance to diversity with a sense of joy
They suffered reverses in their quest for an India that many thought would be a failed experiment in the face of enormous diversity. They waged long battle for their dream, a patient one opposing an impatient barbaric world power. Their ideology was cast in stone; they were not like: one day deriving strength from diversity the other day plotting against the diversity. They wanted a Bharat that truly sustainable and a glorious example for those who were just out of a bloody battle of world war failing to appreciate diversity in their so called modern world.
These tireless crusaders were successful till the day, those who were indifferent to all these efforts won majority in Indian Parliament for being the rescuers of their Maal, HINDUS.
Without a stake in Bharat, they have been propagating the idea of Akhand Bharat. They have excelled in selling combs to bald and mirrors to blinds.
As they have successfully drawn sympathy in their favor for not being able to rule Delhi for 60 years; they are now trying to draw sympathy for leaders who wagged their tail before the Britishers, because three of the Nehru-Gandhis have got the Bharat Ratna.
The best argument they can come up with while defending Bahrat Ratna to people with all the credentials of a TRAITOR is that:
- Nehru nominated himself for the award
- Indira nominated herself for the award
- Vajpayee rejected his nomination
If you hear this argument, it would seem like the sole criteria for being eligible for Bharat Ratna is to deny the nomination when you are the PM; that's all! The contribution of Nehru and Indira in building and strengthening Bharat stands further weakened before the contribution of a British Stooge Atal Bihari Vajpayee in the light of this great sabotage to the peace of Bharat forever.
Welcome to Akhand Bharat, bow before Akhand Bharat Ratnas!
