Gurumurthy Column: India Colonized Again

Gurumurthy column: India colonised, again @ Sify.com says:

Viewed critically, she is not the issue. The real issue is the thought that made it possible for her to become what she is. What is wrong if a foreign-born became the prime minister? After all, she is legally a citizen. This constitutes elite and secular India's thinking. That this trivialised India of the rishis, that it demeaned India of a Swami Vivekananda, does not bother them. For them, India is just a geographic construct based on legal and social contract. For them, a Maharishi Aurobindo's conviction that this ancient nation is the physical version of parashakti and its soul is Sanatana dharma is merely a myth.

For them, the ancient Indian traditions are a burden, a problem, a baggage to be unloaded. This thought is the issue. Unless, those who believe in the spirit of India, take this thought head on that Ms Gandhi, who will be the first foreign-born prime minister of India may not be the last. Rahul, who like Rajiv Gandhi may become the general secretary of the Congress and is being groomed as the successor to her mother, is set to marry a foreign national. So, this demeaning thought will not stop with Ms Gandhi.

This can be countered only by arousing the spirit of India which was the drive of the freedom movement. In the first freedom movement, we became free to think and act independently, but we never turned the freedom into Independence. Will the spirit of our freedom movement manifest again to make the free India really independent India?

Well, I did a post 'Of the People For the People By the People'. Am I happy that Sonia Gandhi, is becoming the PM, not at all. But, will I be ashamed of this thing, no, b'cos this the democracy that we are proud of and keeping India alive.

Bottomline is, If you don't like it, let the new elections come and show the power of your vote, until then hold your head high and don't be ashamed just b'cos some spineless congress leaders and commies are making this happen.
