India is an ideology

                                  My firm ideology about India is- In a democracy like us, there is no majority & no minority. There are only Indians. No one is Indian Hindu & Indian Muslim. Only Indians. I do write against those political parties which talk about particular community rather than India. Right now, I can see a burning India. Because of votebank politics. Politicians have even politicized a pretty serious issue like terrorism. They are misleading the minorities. Why we should always talk about welfare of a particular community? Is a particular community bigger than the idea of India? I am a Hindu, & I am proud of it. This is enough to say I am secular. Why so-called 'Hindu Nationalist' do not understand that secularism is an integral part of Hindutva. Why educated Muslims do not understand that the national welfare ought to be the priority not their welfare. There are certain things that I want to make clear.

                                 Vote for the party which talks about India, never vote for the party which talks about the welfare of a community. On one hand some parties say they are secular & on other hand they are only interested in gaining votes by widening the rift between communities. We could have forgotten what happened in 2002 in Gujarat. Because this is the only riot that y & z generation of India know, thanks to Congress & CBI. They willfully want to keep this issue in limelight. But we must consider the effect of this misdeeds. Today, I can read comments abusing each others religion on facebook. Muslims raise questions over Hindu beliefs & Hindus do the same to even the score. Hindus demand for a Virat Hindu nation, which is ridiculous. India was secular & it will remain secular forever. Aren't "Hindu nationalists" learning lessons from the formation & current condition of Pakistan? A country formed on the religious basis, can't survive with its full potential. Pakistan is on ventilator. My dream is to see India as a super-power before I die. I am 19, & hopefully I still have a long road to travel.

Chanakya once said," defeated mind, defeated state & defeated country adopts the culture & civility of the victorious country." This is what has happened to us. We adopted western culture. We were ruled by the British in past. Since then, we have adopted their culture. Still we haven't threw away their culture. We proudly wear suit & tie. I am scared that within a few years, there would be no difference between India & USA. We would have malls, parks, grand hotels, skyscrapers & everything that westrn countries have. But we will lose our identity as a culture which introduced science & technology to entire world. As a culture which taught entire world how to write!( First ever script was 'Brahmi script', founded by our ancestors.) Our culture is our identity. We must stick to our culture. There are ignorant people who think that sticking to culture means absence of science & technology. But I must tell those people that our culture is the culture of science & technology. Our culture is the culture of women empowerment. Our culture is the culture of patriotism. The same Chanakya also said," Patriotism should be taught to the students." Yes, it can be taught. As an engineering student, I am often taught how to get placed in a foreign company. How to get good grades by hook or by crook. But, we should teach the future generation how to serve our motherland. After engineering, hopefully I am going to start a 'Gurukul', which will produce honest & patriotic IAS, IPS, future leaders, & visionaries. There are sufficient engineers in India, but mother-India demands patriotic people.
                                 India is an ideology & it is incomplete without secularism.
