A true patriot raises not only the Tiranga but also the issues even if they go against some fanatics of the likes of Bagchis who try to hide evils and tribulations in the society.

Hypocrites like Bagchis pretend to raise the Tiranga but will fly off to USA to escape the sweltering summer heat. They will get medical treatment for themselves and their families in Europe or, USA lest they die of what they consider are fake medicines & the quack doctors of India.

They will pack their children off to USA to collect a degree from a “riff-raff” university rather than put them in an IIM, IIT or, an Indian University.

They will pretend to hold their head and the Tiranga high during their overseas jaunts when a 150 million or more children back home, do not go to school but beg in the streets & go hungry to bed. They will hold their head high when over 80 % of rural India still does not have potable drinking water and when women have to walk 3-10 km each day to fetch a pot of water.

Its not "Mother" who is ugly. Ugly are her children - the fake patriots and hypocrites like Bagchi who discredit, disgrace, dishonour and shame Mother India. Why ? Because they are holding their head high while sitting & defeacating in their 5 star comfort "seats" while 70 % of India's women living in abject poverty, have to each day, rush to defeacate or, urinate before dawn or, wait till dusk falls to do just that!

These are the kind of sleep-walkers who will not bat an eyelid but, comfortably turn a blind eye to the sufferings of fellow human beings. Naturally, because, they are selfish, self-centered, intoxicated with their prosperity and engrossed with enriching themselves in their airconditioned comforts.

Ok.I finally found my tongue..

And it shames me to know that our mark of societal advancement is in the highways we make, the clothes we wear or the number of cars we own.. and not in our humanity, our values, our faces, our inherent beings.

My interaction with Indians has taught me identity, culture, business sense and lots of good philosophy.

I now realize that living in the world, I am bound to encounter ignorance, small-mindedness..etc
But I have choice- and I am liberated by it. Those who are ignorant are simply the victims of their own prejudices, ignorance and mindsets.
I can only pity them, for I have chosen and continue to choose not to sink to their level. I am liberated by choice. And thus transcended by it.
You have a beautiful mother :-)
