Patriot and traitor.

Patriot and traitor. 

Listen to the discussion on the the question as to who is patriot and who is traitor. Most of us know what these words mean. However, on listening the discussion among the so-called personalities who are empanelled by the TV Channels we often become confused. Why does confusion about the meaning and scope of the said words take place? The reason, as I understand, is that we often compare ourselves with those personalities and and feel that we are inferior to them. I call upon my friends not to succumb to the intellectual might of the so-called personalities and have our own understanding of matters which have social and national amplification. 


We, the people of India, are struggling very hard. We have no time to enjoy mental luxury as the writers and the artists have. We have no time to think over what harm or good is caused to the people of India as a whole in the name of creativity, freedom of speech and expression of thoughts. Such people throng the TV studios and crying hoarse if someone of us comes forward and try to convey the point that the unbridled expression and thoughts are tearing the social fabric of the country. Such people are hand in glove with TV Channels and they as well as the TV Channels successfully play with the emotion of us, the gullible, Indian people. The question is what do we call the people who tarnish the image of the country, whose art, writings, expression etc. are pre- judicial to the interest of the country, who acts weaken the country by creating unrest in the society? Does the word traitors refer to only those people who work in the interest of the enemy country? If someone makes the country weak for his narrow and selfish goals by way of writings, depiction of arts, articulation of thoughts in public, can't be said that he strengthens our enemies? May such individual or individuals not be termed as anti national? 


Here I would like to stress this point by giving an example. Suppose, someone makes a child fearful by narrating story of a Ghost at particular. The child that has not experienced the existence of Ghost becomes so fearful that he doesn't care to visit such place. Later on, if someone tells the child that there is no Ghost at that place and at that place there is treasure, the child fails to decide who is correct. 


The foreign based companies are just like the child. They have not experienced India. Some of the TV Channels , pseudo intellectuals, writers, film makers, artists etc. are making the foreign nationals fearful of India with the result that they don't dare to come to India and make us the Indians technologically and economically strong. We are the nation of 125 crore people. Why don't these people calculate the percentage of crimes which take place in our country, compare the crimes which take place in other countries and then pass verdict on India? It can then only be said that our country is safe or not for living and doing business. The TV Channels and the people who are creating brouhaha about us the peace loving Indian should judge themselves as how their actions further the interest of the country. If they seriously ponder over it they would realize that they are knowingly or unknowingly harming the country by of unleashing malicious propaganda.
