I remember Swami Vivekananda’s words-

“But mark you, if you give up that spirituality, leaving it aside to go after the materialising civilisation of the West, the result will be that in three generations you will be an extinct race; because the backbone of the nation will be broken, the foundation upon which the national edifice has been built will be undermined, and the result will be annihilation all round.( CW3 REPLY TO THE ADDRESS OF WELCOME AT RAMNAD )

“In India, religious life forms the centre, the keynote of the whole music of national life; and if any nation attempts to throw off its national vitality the direction which has become its own through the transmission of centuries that nation dies if it succeeds in the attempt. And, therefore, if you succeed in the attempt to throw off your religion and take up either politics, or society, or any other things as your centre, as the vitality of your national life, the result will be that you will become extinct. To prevent this you must make all and everything work through that vitality of your religion. Let all your nerves vibrate through the backbone of your religion.”

“You must go out to preach your religion, preach it to every nation under the sun, preach it to every people. This is the first thing to do. And after preaching spiritual knowledge, along with it will come that secular knowledge and every other knowledge that you want; but if you attempt to get the secular knowledge without religion, I tell you plainly, vain is your attempt in India, it will never have a hold on the people. Even the great Buddhistic movement was a failure, partially on account of that.”

“We must go out, we must conquer the world through our spirituality and philosophy. There is no other alternative, we must do it or die. The only condition of national life, of awakened and vigorous national life, is the conquest of the world by Indian thought. ”

“Religion and religion alone is the life of India, and when that goes, India will die, in spite of politics, in spite of social reforms, in spite of Kubera’s wealth poured upon the head of every one of her children.”

In the above context, India has nowhere progressed but has deteriorated.

I can see that all the above qoutes are coming true today. The annihilation is there, and even in 10% grow after 10% in 10% growth and all other feel good factors, we have disparities rising, the actual poverty (not the govet fig based on 275rs/month calculations), 50% malnourished children, 70% dropout rate in education, thousands of farmers suicidng….. And these numbers havent come down, but are rising. Disparities and farmers suicidies are rising much faster than gdp and sensex, the malnourished children and dropout rates also.

India is dying as it was rightly predicted by one of our great leaders before. A nation where 23% people are poor i.e the number of people who earn less than 275 Rs/month (who sleep with stray dogs) and a nation where 50% people are malnourished, where the sucide rates of farmers is much more than the stock market performance and gdp..its difficult to survive as a human race. A nation cant survivie as a human race if it cant feed its majority people, and where only a group of people benefit from all the growth and progress.

Also, the words of Vivekananda are forgotten, and if the effects of that which are predicted in his thoughts are probable to be true, then we I can visualise something very different from what stock market anaylsts, economists and our government and people do.

GOD BLESS TO YOU WITH LONG AND HEALTHY LIFE……..
