"Kristallnacht" is a term you may not be familiar with. It's actually a German term. When Hitler first began discrimination against jews, Jewish homes were attacked, burnt down, they were ousted from Jobs and forced to live in isolation in Ghettos. That infamous night came to be known as Kristallnacht or the night of Broken Glasses. OK This isn't how i had meant to start my post.
What i had meant to say is that Indians have been strugglers since the very beginning. In the early 20th Century one generation decided to put their foot down. The days, months and years that followed shook the very foundation of India, yet we survived.
The nation stood steady.
The early years were difficult, millions of immigrants had to be looked after. There were insufficient jobs, hospitals, defenses, schools. There was despair everywhere; homeless, poor, jobless, ill people will minimal resources. Yet we survived. The nation stood steady.
During the 60’s the nation’s economic stability entered its steepest decline. There were more jobs to be lost, more people to die of hunger more insecurity and more protests to curb. Yet we Survived. The nation stood steady.
Recently, the Indian administrivia encountered the most dangerous and by far the most successful terrorist attacks since a long time. These attacks did more than killing 183 men and exposing our vulnerability, it actually united one nation, and old saying goes—
That which will not kill us will only make us stronger.
So is it with India; Every piece of broken glass, every overturned furniture, broken crockery, burnt furniture, bullet hole bears testimony to the terrible strife that took place between The Indian troops and the militants. Taj will never be the same again.
Yet we will overcome; our spirits shall stand tall; we shall build an India that will be the cause for envy of the free world. We shall reaffirm our belief in the nation, and India’s beacon of freedom, opportunity and undying hope shall burn more brightly than it ever did. Life will go on in India as it did and the government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the dominions of the Indian constitution
