Heroes, Politics and Indians

Each nation have their bunch of heroes and India too have, in fact more than any nation in the world. The two great epics which graced this divine land have depicted the greatest two heroes Sri Krishna and Sri Rama. They prevail and permeate the life of my people in one way or another. Its ironical that though we worship and regard Krishna as the greatest influence in our lives, we follow the footsteps of Sri Rama in our actions for the simple reason he is the perfect embodiment of a human being. And when I say perfect, yes absolutely perfect in all the roles he had in his life. Krishna had many wives but the ideal man Rama was only for Sita (Manifestation of the Goddess). Sri Rama has been the moral benchmark for an Indian man for time immemorial. Similarly anything and everything with regards to moralities, the reference point is and always the epics. The great Mahatma Gandhi's inclination towards ' Rama Rajya', conceptualised referring to Rama's governance was neither a theory nor a hypothetical subject. It is a reality in pursuit and Indians can accomplish his dream.

Though politics takes front page of several newspapers across the nation, it doesn't take the centre stage of an Indian family. If anyone asks Why, the answer is India is,was and never a political nation. Life moved smoothly irrespective of who ruled. Therefore the policy makers are mere debating subjects in India. Foreign invasions created havoc at different times, but the people resurged from its suppressions to go normal in spite of the repeated atrocities done by various empires. India still continued to assimilate as usual what was good. I would say if there is anything which hurts India, it is the erosion of Moral Consiousness in a samaj(society). This moralities unites the diversified demography and sustains the samaj strong.  I believe its' unfair to utter even the word, 'Self Restraint Indian'. Because the Indian mind represent the vast ocean where all rivers flows and in process get purified.



I have not seen too many countries and too many of other civilisations. Since am born with the identity of from the oldest living civilisation which has assimilated and adopted the entire mankind traits, I know the rest of the world is just a replica of what I had seen in my people. Paying tribute to the great author Sage Ved Vyas, the learned  says anything and everything in this material world is mentioned in the great Indian epic Mahabharata. Great American Author, Mark Twain has rightly said,''India is the mother of traditions and culture''. Here religions and philosophies flourished and was elevated to a higher level where all got ingrained in the life cycle of each individual in the course of centuries. And yet this evolution is not over, Mother India and her children are still evolving grabbing the best of life.
