A Passage to India

India is now economically stable and growing. It might one day supersede China as well, no doubt. India has a successful democracy with its basic emphasis on the right to freedom of thought and expression, which in China is literally impossible to conceive. India dons an ancient fabric which is woven of threads of diverse hues and shines brilliant by its picturesque designs. There is beauty and art in this multicultural whole.

It is this prestigious, composite and organic whole that people around the world call 'the fabulous India'. And to us, its citizens, it is our kindlier mother. Indians are proud of Mother India, who gives all, protects all, maintains all, and cares for lives and blesses progress. With this good faith, we march into the future. With this goal in view, we have pledged our lives in committed service to her.

India is the land of myths, religions and spiritual exuberance. Philosophy is ingrained in its psyche. To illustrate further I would introduce the metaphor of ocean, and depict this unfathomable stretch of legendary wisdom as 'the Indian Ocean', to which all streams of  knowledge flow, plunge into its depths and gain acceptance and currency.

India encourages innovation and welcomes multiple views on any particular issue, and she doesn't doggedly promote anything as 'absolute'. It provides opportunities for argument and discussion, and places much emphasis on creativity rather than precedence. Significantly, India remains a preferred destination for different levels of thought.  Ideas migrate to India when they are silenced, smothered or suppressed with strict opposition and censorship in other parts of the world. India is the ultimate home of  boundless inquiry. She is a renowned host as she is liberal, open and tolerant.

There are cynics who wish to challenge this well-formed harmony. And  there are also self-styled maniacs who continually look for a chance to spoil the elegant community mosaic. But they can't carry out their vicious agenda.  In fact, India is vigilant enough to thwart any such subversive plan and wisely prevent violence and confrontation. Non-violence is a great guiding principle.

The Indian diaspora plays a helpful role as well in averting disaster of this sort. And, they as a tight cluster of progressive-minded individuals form a protective layer which filters out any probable harm or risk to the cherished land of their origins. Even the body of prominent international opinion does not lend any support to such crazy conspiracy.  Triumphantly, "the idea of India" liquidates all threats of demolition.

My profound feelings are for India that prays for global welfare, honor its neighbors and campaigns for justice and peace in the world. India stands of human dignity, and this is the great image of India, we uphold.
