mar 9th
please remember that date.
that is the date on which sukhdev, rajguru and bhagat singh were hanged by the brits for conspiring to gain freedom for india.
exactly 75 years ago.
and they sacrificed themselves for this vile lot we have in power today?
and they sacrificed themselves so that our holiest places are bombed with gay abandon?
today's indians do not deserve it that we had heroes like these, and kartar singh sarabha, and the gadar party members. we have forgotten them in the blind worship of abominable fools.

I guess, in the end, these brave men laid down their lives for the most underserving men on the planet. I know this is the time to pay them tribute and sing praise for their sacrifice. But i just cannot help and wonder, what if these guys had not bothered to care of India and its freedom? India would have anyway got freedom [thanks to world war II].
These brave men died in their early 20s. People don't even know what happened to their families and loved ones. I know that Veer Savarkar's family lives in a small chawl in Pune. Sukhdev's family's fate would not have been too different either.
On the other hand look at what happened with our other "freedom fighter's" family. Nehru's family.Even The Sultan of Brunie will envy their lifestyle and the power it wielded all these years.
So here's my point. These brave men were very very emotional about the country. So much so that they did not care about their loved one's fate. They lost their lives in their prime. OK they got a few handful more young one's motivated. And yes even after 75 years they get tributes from people like us [not even from the government]
But that's it. But look at Rahul Gandhi, who's great grand-father was also officially a 'freedom fighter'. But that clever chap did not get too emotional about his country. He opposed British only to a point where it did not harm him or his family personally. His opposition to Britishers was calculated and well planned. He did only so much to ensure that he stays in the game when Britisher's leave. Even his tenure in jail, they say, was no less than a 5 star adventure.
So here's my point to all the people who want to fight secularists. Fight only to a point where it does not harm you and your family personally. Like Britishers, these secularists will fade away some day. May be due to external circumstances [like in case of British]
Who knows, if Sukhdev would have stayed longer, he would have become a Member of Parliament in India and may have become a great nationalist leader.
I hope i am not sounding too in-senstive or shameless. But i believe in one thing. Nothing is permanent. The secularists may seem very very powerful or un-defeatable. But HE works differently. HE might have a bigger plan in mind. Who knows?
And isn't the RSS , which is a bunch of emotional guys doing the same today. They are fighting for the most undeserving men [like me]. The Hindus, i.e!!
That was the time when the circumstances warranted a sacrifice of life to show the others a solid example.... those were the Kshatriyas in the best mould possible... today RSS has another version called the Intellectual Kshatriyas... as intellectual Kshatriyas we need to flood all media with our troops(our writings). Rajeev Srinivasan is one example where he is fighting a grand war and at the same time having a thriving profession. This is the need of the hour, an army of RSS volunteers committed to intellectual warfare and perhaps form a plank to enter politics. The RSS's Milan which is thriving in Bangalore is a good example if this where working professionals meet every sunday for an hour to chart out ways to fight for "real" freedom, freedom from political correctness, freedom from pseudo secularists and freedom from the "Gandhis"
How can all you intellectuals hold RSS in such high esteem? What is intellectual about RSS? Look at their website. It is dumb. Look up media. There are very few RSS people over there. Check the films and books. RSS/BJP haven't written much interesting stuff for common people. Look up any Hindu organization. There is a perceptible lack of order and purpose. 'Dharanat Dharmaha" , religion is one that holds society. Isn't Hindu religion being proven inadequate somewhere? haveen't RSS/BJP been proven incapable?
My thesis is: Hindus are suffering becuase BJP/RSS are incompetent, not primarily because some external forces are bad.
