India, the heart of beauty, the valiant warrior, has fought many invasions. With a heart of gold, the loving mother welcomes all and maintains harmony at home. Around the globe, India, the Unity in diversity is popularly known as the Heaven of the world. Praises for India can never end. Like the great saying ‘farther the mountain more beautiful is the view’, a crocodile may be lurking beneath the pious lotus. Without a doubt India is one of the most magnificent countries on the earth. But the termite of terrorism is eating up the beauty of the country. Murders, bombs, rapes, robberies, etc has become the kitchen stories. People now hardly panic about the brutal things going on in everyday life. Today Indians take these in their stride along with swine flu and inflation. Its reputation is no less than the daily breakfast table gossip in a family. Each common person is determined to change the system of the country but the mountain of obstacle, quickly converts that determination into acceptance. The bomb blast in Mumbai forced me to think about the system. Why only India? Why do Indians suffer every time? Since 1993 there have been more than 20 blasts in the commercial capital. Why the government is still watching each bloody scene of terrorism like an impotent spectator. Just by declaring it a terrorist attack doesn’t help the injured or deter the criminal. Action is necessary!!  

The terrorist attack made me realize with disgust how rotten our system is, how we can never harm them no matter how mercilessly they kill us. The perpetrator of 26/11 Ajmal Kasab is still alive. Isn’t it shameful? The one who killed so many innocent people is still alive? Our symbol of justice is a blindfolded lady holding a balance .Does it mean we are blind to weigh the fact or that we have become blind to the truth about what is really going on? Does it mean that common man will deal with a statue of stone and it shows no compassion?

'NATIONAL ANTHEM' only for children

The bio data of a country is what we call an anthem. It is the piano which is used to praise the country in each and every respect one can in the sweetest tune. It is that which shows the preface of a country. It is what makes us proud of and makes our head held high in the sky. It is the voice which gives us an identity all over the country. When someone hears the national anthem outside his country, he respects it proudly by standing up and telling his fellow beings to see how proud he is for his country. But in one’s own country this thing becomes very common like the waste dumping grounds in India. Like the old British saying “A prophet is never acclaimed at home”, Indian national anthem is what suits itself in prophet’s shoes. India had been through loads of autumn till today. And throughout this autumn, the national anthem is the root that has been holding the country to overcome this adversity. India’s national anthem was written in highly sanskrited (tatsama) Bengali language composed and scored by Nobel laureate Rabindra Nath Tagore;The thakur. And its first 5 lines are written in the most purest script that is bramho script. Since the day it was born and brought up, it has been encouraging the Indians. It was first sung at the Calcutta session of the National Congress on the 27^th of December 1911. Seeing the influential tune of this song, it was officially adopted by the constituent assembly as the Indian National Anthem on January 24, 1950. Since independence, people have been taking birth with a silver spoon of freedom as a result they lack the enthusiasm which was there with our freedom fighters. So, the so called higher authority people had made it compulsory for every school to recite National Anthem every day during the assembly. I remember when in a cosy uniform, I used to stand in a row and recite the National Anthem each and every working day. But after school it just became a memory; it has got a sweet place in my memory.  Sometimes I wonder the Anthem is only for children what about the real citizens of India?? Strange! The persons who don’t respect India’s culture are regarded as citizens not the ones who every single day remind the former that guys this is what we call Indian Anthem do you know it’s full version? We are in doubt; we are the future; we will respect the National Anthem but what about the present?? People take it as a joke when somebody sings it occasionally. I wonder what will happen if somebody makes it his ringtone. I really think sometimes that does every so called citizen of India( the adults above 18 years) know “Jana Gana Mana” in full version, its meaning and its composer. And if they do not know how can they call themselves Indian. Seeing cricket match and encouraging Indian team is not merely a respect or flame for proving that you are an Indian. Independence Day has become one more hang out day for each and every citizen of India. 90% people wonder; in the Independence Day why this damn song is always played in their localities, will somebody let me sleep peacefully in this “holiday”. And to show their so called love and fire for the Indian National Anthem, they spread rumours about our National Anthem as the “best anthem” by United Nations. It is better not to disrespect anything if you do not have the courage to respect it.
