The nature of Fighting which seems to divide us is actually the same nature of fight that united us. We fight therefore we are united.
We saw a fight for our rights in British rule even we saw a fight in the Congress [as Garam and Naram Dal], saw fighting spirit of Bhagat Singh, saw fighting spirit of Netaji, saw fight of Gandhiji
without arms.
Even after independence we saw fighting spirit of Dr. Kalam [first Missile Scientist], saw fighting spirit of Rabindranath Tagore, saw fighting spirit of Amartya Sen, JC Bose, and many more examples of fighting to get some place in their field or in the world.
We are an intellectual capital, we talk about excellence and fight to achieve that and feel unity in competitiveness to achieve the best.
Even we have places which are well below poverty than the poorest of the Africans but we are still fighting to live with honour.
We saw a fight in Politics too which lead to wrong decisions by some governments elected by us only. But this is our fight to eradicate the problems of environment, poverty, unemployment and the latest Naxalism.
Let us unite to fight again!!
Few things from my side.What you explained is the spirit of fighting rather than fighting with unity. If this spirit is to fight among each other, it can never be unity but if it is to fight together, yeah we can call it unity. But later never seems to be the case. What you explained can never be taken as unity but yeah it can be taken as a call for unity as you mentioned at the end of your blog and I quote "Let us unite to fight again!!".
ReplyDeleteIf you talk about independence, we were not united for that too. Many groups fighting their own way. You talked about Bhagat Singh then you must also know how he actually died. Was that really unity? Besides his cases, moles were always their everywhere that time too.
What you explained here is more of spirit of fighting. Yeah I am sure again that if a foreigner comes and talk about Dr. Kalam, JC Bose etc. we will again boast about being Indians. But please don't call it unity. Even the evilest of all will come together for a praise. Its the time of need when we don't find each other united.
Everyone you mentioned are all great men but tell me, did Dr. Abdul Kalam made that missile alone? How many of others do you know. Its a group which gives you a product ( individual work is different), and it should be brought out as a product of group and not individual.
And by what you say because India and Pakistan are fighting, we are united.
So that's why I would like to tell that there is a difference between spirit of fighting and fighting among each other.
United we stand again.. LOL
