Lost India: Now days we hear
people saying "India has lost its history; nothing can happen to India now”.
So for those people I would like to say India is as it is today but Indians have
lost their bhartiyata. Today India is respected not Indians. People come to India
from all across the world to learn about the great Indian history and its
scriptures. But at the same time they don't respect Indians. This is a question
to ponder about. Are we westernizing ourselves whereas rest of the world is
turning towards Indian culture? Recently I attended a function organized by RSS Guru Pooja where following were discussed: “In Philadelphia
there is Liberty Bell which cracked when it was rung for the first time in 1752”.
There is a bell in Thanjaur temple, India which is 1000 years old and still
ringing. So we need to think when America dint even know about metallurgy India
was master in that. We need to
introspect the reason behind America being ahead of India today. Most of the
Indians are unaware of Bhagwat Geeta and other scriptures. How can we build a
Shrestha Bharat without understanding our great rich history? How come we can build
our next generation which respects our country & culture? Aren’t we responsible
for this? How many of us today want our kids to do masters in Hindi/Sanskrit? We
all are like running on the treadmill of life to match the speed of life otherwise
we are sacred that we will fall down. Now it’s up to us to decide if we really
want to give same race of life to our next generations or we want them to take
India to great heights of recognition and make India Vishwa Guru in true sense
by restoring its rich history and knowledge which is on the verge of being lost.
