Happy Independence Day

I wish all Indians a very happy Independence Day. Pin the tricolor flag close to your heart, sing the national anthem and salute the national flag. I do it on every Independence Day to show everyone how proud I am, to be a citizen of this fabulous country. This independence day, I wish to do something more. Come what may, I will not hate anyone. I will spread love and peace.

Dalai Lama, the Buddhist spiritual leader considers India as a heaven on earth. The world sees India as a peace loving nation. We achieved our independence through Ahimsa, the first non violent revolution across the globe. With such a strong affinity for peace, what is the cause of bloodshed across India. I am greatly devastated by the ethnic cleaning in Assam, MNS efforts to drive non-Maharashtrians out of Mumbai, TRS shutting down businesses associated to Andhra people and many more. Why is the Parliament and state assemblies tolerating such violence and segregation? These esteemed institutions are sending a wrong signal by not controlling the brutal forces prevailing in the society. Hatred is being spread among the sections of the people. Hatred is a live bomb which can explode at any time. Assam violence is one such example. I will not blame the corrupt political system for all this. We, the individuals are responsible for all this violence. I believe that no evil (hatred, violence) can enter us as long as we don’t submit to it. Be an Indian. Practice the human values that we are best known for. There’s a saying never hate even your enemy. Hatred is an epidemic. It corrupts your brain. It starts with your enemy, later spreads to your friends and slowly enters your family. Spread the message of love and peace.

Lets make our home a better place to live. Come what may, I will not hate anyone.       

Happy Independence day.

Best regards
Swaroop
