“Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival.”
- Winston Churchill

Dear Govt. Of India,

I never thought i would ever quote Winston Churchill in my life. But today things are happening which i never thought would have ever happened. I will not beat the bush and come to the topic directly. I have loved my National flag as long as i remember. 15th August and 26th January had been the most pious days in our lives when we could see our beloved ‘Tiranga’ hoisted high. And today, we are stopping (our) people from hoisting (our) National flag on (Our) territory? And it is just not our territory, it is our motherland. Part of Bharat since time immemorial! Have our political parties forgotton that for hoisting this particular piece of cloth in Jammu & Kashmir, countless mothers have lost their sons, Wives have lost their husbands and sisters have lost their brothers? Shall i remind you that of people like Capt. Vikram Batra or Capt. Vijayant Thapar who on your single command went on to do supreme sacrifice for the sake of our flag? Ye, they died for the flag. They died so that our flag could be unfurled there. You did not think of ‘peace’ then! Did you?

Soldiers die for this Tricolor!

Today, when people want to hoist flag at Srinagar why should they be stopped? Shouldn’t we stop them who are opposing them? How confused can you be in your decision? Do i need to tell you who is the enemy and who is not? You fear of rebellion i fear of lack of self-respect. And logically speaking, this is the perfect chance to see who are against the Indian nation and book them for good. For god’s sake can’t you, for once, rise above petty politics? Or has this become a rule that whatever the opposition party says, is wrong. Period?

The anti-nationals come to Delhi and hold a Azaadi conference. You did nothing. Why? Just because we cant throw stones at you? The naxals captured 1/6th territory of my nation, you did nothing. Why? Just because we are civil people? Countless farmers die everyday, you didn’t do anything. Why? Just because Sharad Pawar’s reign over cricket was more important? This bullshit has to be done away with. Inflation has reached gargantuan proportions. You did not do anything. Why? Because we, the middle class, are not like some moronic separatist fools who will torch your offices? And don’t even get me started over the likes of Suresh Kalmaadi and other assholes living and prospering in your holy guidance. Oh, the humiliation which you caused to our nation internationally has not been forgotten.

Seeing this trend, i believe the Gujjar agitation is the best way to get anything done in your regime: Sit on the railway tracks and get your wishes fulfilled. We, the people, of India need to stand up against this blasphemy. Tricolor is the symbol of my freedom. It is a part of my identity. It is something which has been achieved after our nation offered over infinite sacrifices and it has been sustained by giving more.

Just because you can revert back a train of BJP workers who wanted to hoist the National flag does not mean you won. You may give free liquor to illiterate masses and come back to power in 2014. But you have made me more radical. you have made me and several other youngsters disgusted by your deeds. This is a warning for you and your arrogance which thinks common people can’t do anything. I might be powerless today. But remember the tale of Chaanakya and Chandragupt- the great, who single handedly freed India from Roman clutches. You and your likes will not be able to bleed Bharat from thousand cuts. You may have won this battle and humiliated  me, but i will win the war! That’s a promise.

JAI HIND

P.S- Omar Abdulla, the day those separatists start pelting stones, you will ask for some more army-men to come and ward them off. You are not only spineless, you are downright pathetic.

    Strong post ! India has been traumatized by Congress rule for many decades after the independence, And then came the reign of Nuclear strength and Peace talks, which brought hopes for the billion Indian of good governance for the rest of future. But the petty politics as you say, brought again the days of the same “yes, if you are white” notion. Loved the post.

      Thanks a lot Eessoo!
      The point is, politics has degraded on both sides of the line. It cannot be denied Congress or BJP have both degraded. But still, as you pointed out, i will opt for the ones with better track record. This nation needs a strong leadership to steer it clear from the path of self destruction.

    Thanks for writing this. How opposing this event does not come under the “Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act,1971″? The job of Indian Govt(currently Congress) to obey the Indian Constitution and support national integrity not oppose BJP.

    • http://www.himanshushekhar.com Azad

      That is the exact point bhai. Constitution has been violated at every possible moment. I wonder, what is the logic behind still claiming to abide by it!!! Shame!

    And finally you do write and for what a cause! When i was reading about this and watching news, i was wondering why isnt anyone on radio talking about this, or why isnt this being discussed on chat shows. But then, as we all know, everything is just govt’s puppets. And this government, as you rightly wrote, is good for nothing.
    I just hope, things get better for J & K; they get treated as one of us. I so wish at least my kids to know and visit Srinagar… peacefully!
    Amen! May your voice be heard!

    • http://www.himanshushekhar.com Azad

      Thanks a lot for the appreciation. Even the BJP now understands that media will not report this matter in its entirety and hence they too are tweeting about it.
      How can one even think of supporting yasin malik and his march to lal chowk?? Beats me…
      May your wishes of peace come true.

    That’s really sad to know that flag hosting is not allowed in Srinagar.. i am even surprised to see here in USA the map of India is not showing kashmir as a part of india.. its like our country doesn’t have a head.. Politics is weakening India from all the possible ways !

    • http://www.himanshushekhar.com Azad

      I heard this from many other friends living in US and Europe. And your confirmation again has made us all ponder if we are too weak a nation to even hold our territory!!
      2.25 lakh sq.km of India’s land is under foreign occupation currently. And we are not so much even thinking about it.

    There is a reason for opposing the flag hoist in Kashmir. For a common man above everything peace is necessary and if there exits no peace by hoisting flag there, why the hell have to force any community for any reason? Patriotism is a feeling from inside and has come embedded with our birth. It cannot be forced to generate in anybody.
    Yes people have lost lives to hoist flag in Kashmir. Even my family has lost. Do you expect more people to die coz of possible problems that may happen by these weird activities.
    Let us hoist flag in our own place and pay respect. Don’t you think what people are doing now is to showoff something?

      Dear Anilraj,
      Welcome to RAGE!
      We have been afraid of this nuisance since last 63 years. Why is it that an ordinary kashmiri separated from an Indian? Why can a separatist hoist Pakistani flag on Lal Chowk but a patriot cannot? Has the Indian Govt. gone so weak that it cannot book the guilty party?
      The question arises that, should the people opposing our national flag even be allowed to live in this country? And what peace are you talking of? There has been no peace in Kashmir since a long time. And it precisely is because we are afraid of the extremists.
      And to answer your question, yes! It is a showoff! A showoff that we are one nation and nobody should dare to challenge the unity and soverignity of this nation.

    26th of January is nothing but a pleasant but paradoxical reminder for us that INDIA is a REPUBLIC!
    ..and when our very central government acts in the manner it has done, even this reminder seems to be fissing.

      Dear Anupam,
      Welcome to RAGE! You are right when you say that our own govt. acts in a manner which shames all of its citizens.

    That was a heartfelt post, one which you would not easily find in the blogosphere. If the Pakistani flag could be allowed to be hoisted in Lal Chowk and not the tricolour, the message is very clear, isn’t it? Do read my post on Republic Day.

    Do you think by hoisting flag over there, we can win the heart of the people of Kashmir? Don’t you think we should try some other ways to do so?
    You told me about showing off national sovereignty.!!
    We are trying to show our national sovereignty to the people who are not sure whether their children comeback safe from school the same day. Does is make any difference in them? A common man who is not sure about his life on the same day will not at all think about which nation he belongs to!!

      Dear Anilraj,
      Bihar gets per capita central assistance of Rs 876 per year. Kashmir gets over ten times more: Rs 9,754 per year. While in Bihar and other states, this assistance is mainly in the forms of loans to the state, in Kashmir 90 per cent is an outright grant. Kashmir’s entire Five Year Plan expenditure is met by the Indian taxpayer. In addition, New Delhi keeps throwing more and more money at the state: in 2004, the prime minister gave Kashmir another $5 billion for development. Kashmiris are happy to take the money and the special rights but they argue that India has been unfair to them…
      How else do you want to win kashmiri people’s hearts?

    Stop spreading false information for your cheap publicity….no such event happened… By posting this picture you are insulting a brave Martyr Major Akash Singh who gave up his life in 2009 fighting Militants whose funeral procession this is. What is the difference between you and the cheap politicians who will go to any extent to gain cheap publicity????? you have no bloody rights spreading false information for getting more hits to your blog.

    And for the rest of the people who like the post…please cross check the information posted before getting carried away.

    • http://www.himanshushekhar.com Azad

      And may i ask, why did Major Aakash die? Was it not for hoisting tricolor in J&K? Was it not for establishing our nation’s superiority over people who attack us? If you click on the picture, you will find the description too.
      BTW, this blog was never started for publicity. If it were so, i would have written more than once a month! Where is the cheap publicity in expressing my views which say that i should be allowed to hoist tricolor anywhere in my country. To hell with your bogus laws of peace which have led to so many soldiers and civilians killed in last 6 decades.

    यार मेरे एक बात समझ में नहीं आई, इतने सैनिक थे वहाँ पर (लाल चौक पर) – किसी भी एक सैनिक से तिरंगा फहराकर केवल एक फोटो ही लाल चौक की मीडिया में प्रसारित कर देते. भले ही बीजेपी वालों को कश्मीर में नहीं घुसने देते. भारत माँ की लाज तो बच जाती.
