Indian cultural heritage dates back to the B.C. era. Innumerable dynasties and kingdoms have flourished on this pious soil. On its extreme North, the almighty has gifted this landmass with mountain king Himalayas and each direction has water body of oceans.. It has been a tradition of people living on this land, to accept and absorb. They never attack but only react [when necessary]..Thus, their magnificent monetary prosperity became envious site for world around.
And,
The same attracted followers of Islam.. First for grabbing the fruits of colossal economic opulence and then for mass conversion into Islamic fold, through force or fury..
The motives of Britishers were again gaining financial affluence and looting the wealth from this fertile terra firma.
But,
With them, came the spread of missionaries, who on first glance, portrayed themselves as honey-coated servants of God, whose solitary intention of life was, service for have nots..In reality, their service to the needy was not goalless. The mega aim of converting the financially depressed class, was the sole endeavor these missionaries possessed. [There may have been dedicated souls individually, but on the broad-spectrum, the service had to be paid, through conversion into Christian fold.
The Sanatan Dharma did not adhere to any such practice. In every which way, the Hindu way of life, depict tolerance.
Thus, when India became independent, in 1947, Indian constitution adopted the base of Democratic and liberal views, in various fundamental expressions. Of course, what was done with pure intentions of living in brotherhood, among different religions, has at many a times disastrous, because the Islamic religion, is not based on the devout chant of tolerance. They have partitioned the soil, on the basis of religious beliefs, to create their nation.
But,
In Indian democracy, every person residing as an official citizen, is the son/daughter of Mother India. The majority of population, has always demanded Common Civil Code, lending their hand of friendship, to every one of belonging to any religious or economic starta.
Indian constitution represents equality and freedom in variety of expressions. For. ex. Every Indian citizen, has a right to reside or buy as well as sell, property, anywhere on Indian soil..[of course, except, Kashmir, though officially it is an integral part of this nation and Indian Union Govt. provides it with innumerable financial help.]
In the similar manner, Indian Constitution has provision for Freedom of Speech.. implying that every citizen can express their views, fearlessly.
But,
every right is followed by duties. In the same way, the right to speak, has its own dutiful contributions. For every Indian citizen, the progress and security of his mother land is of primary importance. Any word of mouth that would tarnish the image and safety of the country and countrymen, has to be abandoned.
The Arundhutis of the world has to understand this in full and finally. By stating India, as an expansionist country [which is a folly by itself], she has defied her commitment towards the nation, she is citizen of.
Moreover, by igniting the matter, which already is on the fire, she has posed grave national security problems. When she has no authority to preside over the matter, she has gone and spoken words that would kill the sentiments of crores of Indians as well as squander the efforts of lakhs of army men and on top of all, destroy the mammoth labor that Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, toiled for merging [and very much merging, whatever Omar Abdullah wishes to address it as...] of Harisingh’s Kashmir with India and create one nation.
It is essential for every creative person, may be a writer or a film maker, to follow the very basic principles that Country comes first!!! Much before personal aspirations and beliefs. If by spilling few unwanted lexis, the stateliness and dignity of the mother land is blemished, then the control over such Freedom of Expression, is a must..
