Seriously Joking!

Watch out my country men may keep you endlessly laughing though they may not look like one, rather their positions don’t suggest one. But they are seriously joking! 68 years after Independence my country has not assured basic amenities of life to millions. 68 years after Independence we have not yet woken to the realities of life – to the hunger of millions, desperation of the oppressed, to the cry of infants and to the anger of the unemployed. It seemed to me that all our problems are due to the selfishness and sluggishness of the rulers. But I was pleasantly surprised that these (the problems of the country) would vanish all of a sudden if my countrymen follow one particular religion and every woman bears four children, nay, ten children. My God what a sight will that be to see every home having ten children! While foreigners would come and ‘Make in India’ Indians would be making homes – don’t misunderstand me, think about it very seriously.
While Chinese intrude the border time and again and care a damn to your policies, all that we need to do is to study the ancient ‘air-power’ of India. When countries move forward with scientific research, we need to study the plastic surgery performed in ancient India. When my country women are not safe within my own country we need to drink cow urine to keep ourselves under control or must instruct your sister to call the one who tries to misbehave with her ‘brother’. Scrap science out; teach the scrap – fine logic indeed! Don’t let people question you and if they do, give them a tag and assign them a country. In this country everything will change – a leader of one party will jump from one party from another, a murderer will become a saint one day – except one that the fate of millions will continue to be the same. ‘Arise, awake’ for my respected countrymen are seriously joking, at least laugh at them.
