Just two months ago, I was in Kargil and Leh. I met soldiers of
Indian army there, who work in some of the most challenging conditions
in the whole world.
On a tall mountain peak in Leh, there's a huge sign which is visible from every corner of Leh. The
same sign is prominently displayed at the entry point of each regiment (and there are a lot of regiments in Leh).
The sign simply says ... "Nation First"!

This sign is the guiding light by which each solider lives and dies.
When I visited Leh, I felt huge respect, admiration and pride for these men.
Now I think these men are the biggest fools of our country!
Why?
Because they are risking their precious lives for such undeserving fools like us, who live by the slogan "Surname first" and "Surname last"!
P.S. - Before you discount yourself from the above description, ask yourself this (no need to answer me) -
How many of you had a sneak peek at MY surname before you made an assumption in your head whom I was favoring / berating?
"Who" is saying something is now unfortunately more important that "what" he/she is saying!

Casteism is the core of Indian society. Remove it and it will collapse. Even politics will collapse. I need to divide people if I am to rule them. Casteism and religion is a business to some, rather many.
ReplyDeleteSoldiers are great no doubt about it. What about the police who are threatened/beaten/killed by their own people while protecting their own people. When I was in US I head this advertisement on radio, "join the police force and complete your education". In india we say the other way around "cant complete your degree, join police force..." and you know how to earn money there..
