Today, Mother India Is Shedding Tears of Blood
Today, Mother India Is Shedding Tears
of Blood
Today, India is shedding tears of
blood.
History has a way of warning
nations when they begin to lose their moral compass. When the British ordered
the lathi charge on Lala Lajpat Rai during the protest against the Simon
Commission, the injuries he suffered ultimately led to his death. On that day,
the end of the British Raj was written in blood. The empire may not have
realized it then, but the brutality it unleashed against a peaceful patriot
became one of the defining moments that strengthened India's freedom movement.
Today, I see another government
in Delhi repeating the same mistake.
Young students asking for justice
are being met with police batons instead of dialogue. Many have suffered
serious injuries simply because they chose to raise their voices against those
in power. The brutal treatment of Mr. Sonam Wangchuk has already been
documented for the world to see. His forceful removal from Jantar Mantar was
not the action of a government confident in its own decisions; it was the
action of a government that fears peaceful dissent.
Every Indian should feel ashamed
that this is happening in the world's largest democracy.
This message is for those who
still have humanity in their hearts while continuing to support the BJP. I urge
you to stop and ask yourselves whether this is the India you wanted to build.
No political party is greater than the nation. No leader is greater than the
Constitution. If a government begins to use force against students who are
demanding justice, then it is time for every citizen to ask whether their
silence has become part of the problem.
Narendra Modi has carried
controversy throughout his political career. He was the Chief Minister of
Gujarat during the Godhra riots, where thousands of innocent lives were lost.
Many believe that his hands were already stained with the blood of those innocent
people. Today, after watching the lathi charge on students and the treatment of
peaceful protesters, many will once again say that his hands are stained with
the blood of young Indians whose only crime was to demand justice.
No one should be surprised. This
is the same leader who, in my opinion, showed little humanity while Manipur
burned. Today, as students are beaten on the streets of Delhi, that same
pattern appears to be repeating itself. A government that refuses to listen
eventually begins to rely on force, believing that power alone can silence the
voices of its own people.
Many describe Narendra Modi as a
great leader. I cannot. In my opinion, he resembles Ravana disguised as a holy
man. Ravana appeared righteous on the outside while hiding darker intentions
within. I believe the same contradiction has become visible in today's
politics. The construction of the Ram Temple was presented as a symbol of
faith, yet when allegations of financial irregularities surrounding the temple
emerged, those entrusted with protecting its sanctity failed to provide the
accountability that millions of devotees deserved. In my opinion, just as
Ravana abducted Sita, those in power allowed the faith of millions to be
betrayed.
As I watch the scenes unfolding
in Delhi, it breaks my heart to see young men and women being pushed, beaten,
and overpowered simply because they dared to ask for justice. These are not
enemies of the nation. They are the children of India. They deserve to be
heard, not silenced.
History never forgets governments
that raise their hand against their own people.
Today, India is not
celebrating democracy. Today, Mother India Is Shedding Tears of Blood.
