When the mother of Neeraj Chopra was asked to comment on record record-making victory of Arshad Nadeem, she though being a Haryanvi speaker, congratulated Arshad in heart-touching words. Haryanvi is my mother language and I know the accent we keep is a bit harsh though we don't intend to even but kudos to her who expressed her views about Arshad in a very mellifluous view, telling the friendly relationship his son and Arshad keep. His words were a slap to extremist media of both sides which was exploiting the competition for their ratings by flaming the sentiments of flocks of respective sides.
This has been throughout the history of both countries that even competitions are perceived as war. This excites the thrill of the game but the intention behind is not just to boost the thrill but the animosity. And the precipitator of it is mostly media houses.
People on both sides of borders have shared fraternal relations and exchanged good gestures despite the seed of hatred sown in them since their childhood. The word fraternal would be an exaggerated word for many but the proof of using this word is the kind of nexus shared between cricketers, showbiz personnel, and businessmen. The credit for orchestrating hostile strings goes to media houses, politicians, and extremist religious organizations that have disguised and malice interests in this enmity.
Sometimes I wonder if that line had not been sketched out, how big and how much impacting this subcontinent might be. History is proof of it when in the ruling era of Aurangzeb Alamgir united India was the source of 30% of trade in the whole world. How many milestones we might have achieved till now and what kind of superpowers we might have been keeping? But even families got separated and it was the territory of opposite nations religiously. The extremism and riots might have been on peaks. The unrests might have dilapidated the beauty of the whole territory.
I have always kept very soft corner for india. The reason behind could be my forefathers or the history of my forefathers. Along with that nations of both countries belong t same creed and possess almost the dame type of culture. The atmosphere of one country whether ecological, economic, political, diplomatic, or security determines the atmosphere of its neighborhood as well. So to cope with every kind of hostile issue, collaboration of efforts is in dire need.
The native of every country loves hia land and don't compromise on its integrity. This is the instinct of man so deriding any nation or country or attack on its sovereignty will obviously yield a retaliation. So instead of spreading intimidation ,hatred and enmity which has yielded none for us in 77 years , love and peaceful gestures should be exchanged.
The people of India are also facing security issues like terrorism and extremism, political issues like corruption,ineptitude and grafting,economical issues like unemployment,monopoly and income gaps and climate issues. The politicians are also busy pulling legs off each other without pondering about real issues. The leaders have been assassinated there as well. But the independence day brings a new set of hopes, energy, and love for the country.
15 August is a very remarkable day in the history of India and very reverent and blissful for the people of India. Through this platform, I extend my heartiest wishes to the people of India on their Independence Day.
Happy independence day🇮🇳🇮🇳
