Our Nation- A Democracy without Discipline

If you think you already have the solution for stopping the anti-nationalshead-over-heels rushing to destroy our country, I don’t wantto waste your time. Stop reading further.Stop wasting your time and do not read any further if you will not gomake a change in your life style and thought process. But if youbelieve that the future of your country is worth a few hours every monthoutside your comfort zone, read on.Rather than spending a few hours at a Tea Party, do you have acouple of hours a month to spend on a weeknight and, perhaps, on aSaturday, to take our country back? Is your and your children’s,liberty not worth at least that?Well, we as a nation have now become a society without seriousness.We otherwise should admit that we are very much ‘OK’’ in ourown comfort zone. We do not want ourselves to be at risk, the risk offacing truth, the risk of resolving real problems. For many of us theprocess of dealing with social or national issues belongs to politicians. Thiswrong notion has given enough freedom to so many anti-socials todominate the Indian politics. Politics is now viewed as a safe havenfor all third rate criminals. It is now a corrupted profession than aservice with humans in mind.How did this happen? Why is the Nation in turmoil? Why theyouth of this country is not united and not in the path of nationalrenaissance? Why they are more reactive than being pro-active to issuesfaced by them? Questions are a lot to answer. But every search andre-search ends up in one bottom truth which is very loud and clear ifyou have the right amount of seriousness and clear conscience to feeland recognize it. We are a Nation with body of Democracy but withoutDiscipline in blood.The one thing we should understand and accept is that the freedom of aNation persists with Democracy. The Democracy in turn lives withthe disciplined use of its freedom rights. What could happen in ademocratic country, if the citizens live without pertaining to thevalues of the word ‘‘discipline’’?Recent incidents related with some pubs, night clubs in Bangaloreraised so many hues and cries from so called ‘‘Progressive’’ sectionsof our society, feminists and opposition parties. Everybody now knowsthe truth behind the dramatic scenes. It was not a politicallymotivated issue but was an eye opener for those who are living in thelabel of modernization. Well, this is another misunderstanding amongour masses that being ‘‘westernised’’ means ‘‘modernised’’. In India, ifyou request someone to keep morality in thinking and practise or tofollow a principled life, they feel that their rights or freedom is beingcircumcised. Modernisation without morality and freedom withoutdiscipline has now become the face value of Indian metropolitan life.Sometimes I feel our people are one step ahead of British life incopying British culture and its legalised social pitfalls.The British have now rules which give a woman the right to the man’sproperties if she has lived with him for some period even if they arenot married. I live in England and majority of my colleagues; friendsare living with unmarried partners. They are called “Living In”partners. If a child is born, then sometimes they marry or most of thetimes the father will abandon the mother and child. Because the onewho goes for this type of “living in” relationship does not want to takeany responsibilities of a standard married life. That is the reason whythere are a huge number of single mothers & single fathers in the west.By the standards of Indian culture these single mothers can be calledwhores and their children as bastards. As per Indianculture/scriptures there are different types of marriages and one suchtype is the gandharv vivah (A marriage which is done between theman and women without the blessings of their relatives.eg, Sakuntalaand Dushyanth). However this is still not considered as legitimatemarriage if it is not registered under Hindu Marriage Act or CivilMarriage Act.But do we need to allow our girls to become ‘‘Mary ofModern times’’ in our country due to lack of discipline?If a bride comes to know that her prospective bridegroom had livedwith another woman would she agree to marry him? Would a manmarry a woman who had lived with another man? Would they admitto such a past during wedding negotiations? The answer is certainly abig ‘‘No’’ in most of the cases. Someone might say that going for‘‘Dating’’ is the best solution in such cases. Well what surety is therethat dating will ensure confidentiality of the relation and lead to apositive culmination in every case? On the other way round, datingcould lead to provide possible opportunities of another pre-maritalrelation.Why do we let our generation and upcoming generations abuse thefreedom of this largest democracy in terms of developingprogressiveness? A well disciplined, principled and service mindedsociety is the greatest growing asset and is larger than any Nation’sarmed forces or resources.Let’s pray to the great Lord to give us pure wisdomLet’s pray to the great Lord to give us right courageLet’s pray to the great Lord to give us lasting peace
Let’s pray to the great Lord to bring our Nation back to ‘‘Param-Vaibhava’’
