Lessons from History

In this diary post I am not trying to be preachy. But seeing my country being called a banana republic( thanks to our central government) thought will put some points from history as to what had happened to our country which was the cradle of civilization. Let us start from the battle of Panipat. The brave and the great king Prithvi Raj Chauhan defeated Mohammed Gori in the first battle. But he was magnamonious enough to let Gori scot free with a warining never to come back. What did Gori do. He not only came back but defeated Chauhan and made him a prisoner. Thanks to another fellow indian who helped Gori to defeat Chauhan because of his greed for power. Thus the Muslims came to India and plundered our wealth. Destroyed our temples and our culture imposing their culture on us. Remember the tax hindus had to pay for going to pilgrimage during the Mughals rule. Then came the British. They also took advantage of our greed. We all know the great warriors of our freedom struggle were mostly defeated by British because we had enough greedy people who for some money and power were ready to betray their fellow Indians to British. British looted all the wealth in India and once they felt there is nothing more to loot they left our country. We have still not got the Kohinoor and Peacock throne from British Museaum which rightly belong to us. If you see the Konark temple for once u will know the atrocities committed by British. The way they have destroyed such a superb structure. We will not be able to rebuilt a similar one with all the technological advances.


So our history says again and again to become a strong country we have to be united and we have to punish our enemies at the right time. But still we are not learning from it. We give Kasab a hardcore criminal a fair trial, Afzal Guru is not hanged because we are afraid of Human right activists and vote bank politics, allow China to flex its muscles, allow Pakistan to change its stance now and then. Allow a petty policitian like KCR to hold a state at ransom. What is the power of our central government. Are we still the beggars who are crying in front of America and other countries are making fun of us. We are a super power in dream only. We cannot achieve the super power status unless we create some amount of fear factor and we stand united as Indians.
