Greetings on Indian Independence Day

My Brothers and Sisters of Hindustan,

Greeting on the festive occasion of the National Day, 72nd Independence Day!

Being a Hindustani means knowing the deep insights of the sages of Hindustan, giving importance to them and following their recommendations in our own life. Being Hindustani means keeping the welfare of all creatures including animals and plants in our heart. Being Hindustani means following our discretion and using our intellect. Fanaticism gives the same pain to Hindustanis as much as it gives to others. Being Hindustani means to be intelligent - not confused or foolish or gullible. Trumpeting religion or religious fervour is not the proof of being Hindustani.

Hindustaniyat is Insaaniyat, a 'Dharma' (much larger than the connotation of a religion) which is the rapid flow of the seven rivers (Sapta Sindhu), one which has absorbed all the attacking foreign invaders and insurgents in its might and forced them to either flow with the current, or to turn their backs and run away. All those who came from foreign lands, religiosities and cultures were either forced to go back or get assimilated in Hindustan. What is ironic is that foreigners have become Hindi, Hindu and Hindustani, but whatever Hindus, under duress or other compulsion, but not under a free will, converted to the religion of foreign invaders, are opposing their ancestral religion and talking about defending foreign religions adopted by them in due course.

In 1857, in the fight to gain independence from the British, Hindustan got independence from the rule of Mughals and the British, but the British crown snatched this freedom away. After 90 years of struggle, 71 years ago, Hindustan got independence from the British rule in 1947 and the Swarajya was established.

The top band in the national Flag of India is of Kesaria or Saffron colour, which reflects the strength, valour and courage of the country. The white band with the blue ‘Dharma Chakra’ indicates movement, progress, strength in unity, peace and truth. The lower band, green in colour, shows the fertility of the land, the development and displays auspiciousness. Saffron is a colour that is most associated with 'Sanatan' and Hinduism. Islam has many traditional associations with green colour. White and blue colour is associated with Christianity. How easily, the Hindustani flag has soaked everybody!

Rather than treating the wounds inflicted on the pride and the suzerainty of Hindustan by the Mughal and the British Monarchies, we have let them remain like the wretched oozing wound on the forehead of Ashwathama, the son of Guru Dronacharya the nephew of Rajguru Krupacharya of Kuru Dynasty in the Hindustani epic ‘Mahabharat.’ All Hindustanis have yet to get free of this irritating disability by treating this gangrenous wound.

I think it was Voltaire who said, “God gave me intelligence. I think HE wants me to use it…”

From a Hindustani, to all my Hindustani brothers and sisters, greetings and salutations on August 15, 2018, the Independence day ...

Jai Hind !!

Vande Mataram!!
