Why India is always on defensive mode?

This is the stand we have seen post independence that India never strikes first in war. This narrative has put us on back-foot all the time in diplomacy and in national security. My question is are we really a race which never fought a war at a will? Well our political pseudo peacelovers teach us only that, we have read in our textbooks that we are followers of Gandhi and Budhh. But when same question asked to history and mythology we find different answer, we read about Chanakya who has put his whole life to end a dynasty and to unite Bharat. We read about Ram and Krishna who have fought against evils to save people. We read about Bappa Rawal who has expanded his Kingdom into all directions but no one teach us about them as we are supposed to be the breed of hares who just run away and give too weak response on any attack to us. Why we are being taught one side of history? Don't we have right to learn about whole history of ours? Within the society we find many bullies but all of them goes silent when it comes to fight for nation. The left visioned history, politics of caste, corruption to roots made us a nation with majority of obsessed people. Here we think about vote bank, about internal benefits before taking any action against enemy state. Yes war is not a solution but it's a step towards peaceful solution with enemy state. Everyday neighboring country violets cease fire, every alternate day we have news of some terror attack, we have Maoist problem in north east, Naxals in eastern part of our nation and we still speak about sugary non violence thing. Isn't it a time when we should show some aggression towards our enemy? Remember to negotiate peace we have to have some power with us, no one listens to weaker. Time has come when we have to rise as a nation and without having peace around us we can never become developed nation. This is the time when we have to adopt new strategies to silence our enemies and for that we have to change our narrative of Peacelover nation of Gandhi. We are nation of Gandhi but also nation of Chanakya and Chandragupt, we don't want to put our next generation into perils of these fake peace loving talks, we want peace but not at cost of our lives. We want friendship but on our conditions. All these can not happen till we have religions, castes getting importance even during drafting our security policies, we have to think as an Indian first which can pressurize any government to change the ultra defensive narrative. Policy must be even if you think to do damage to us, you will be destroyed. 

Indian literature loosing it's edge?

Well I am not literature critic but a normal reader like crores others. During my trips to library I have observed that there are lot of books but when I have started to search for books by Indian authors of recent time the choice got narrowed. Further to this while searching for books in regional language in recent years was more difficult so my first question is that why current Indian authors write mainly in English only? One more thing happened at that time was while searching for different genre I was surprised to see our recent authors are just focused in one or two genres while many genres left untouched such as science fiction, child novel, war fantasies, travel diaries, thriller with some good taste, catchy humor all these were missing and ya nothing of that short you can find in regional languages. I believe that in this era of facebook posts , tweets and adaption of books to movie has become more important than  anything else. It's a serious question for our society because the society without fighters of pen is hollow one. At the same time it's duty of reader to motivate those who are trying something different. I feel that our education structure and our outlook towards writers of regional language must change. We praise a lot who writes in English but hardly even remember names of writers in local language. Now let us talk about different genres of literature and tell me friends how many books you found about science fiction? child stories? out of the box kind of thrillers? Either I am not aware of such recent books in Indian languages or such books really not published in recent times. As a reader I always desire to read something different and want good reading in all different genres. I am not criticizing writers of recent times, even I believe that they are really good but we need variety of topics as we are country of diversified society we need diversity in what we read. So I am waiting for a fresh science fiction story in Hindi, a path breaking thriller in Gujarati and such great works in other languages as well. Many of the friends I follow on social media are readers and bloggers so I really want their thoughts on this topic, let's wish that in near future we can see an Indian winning booker prize.

Why changing is so difficult?

             This question is part of my daily life. When an organization approaches me to change their manufacturing system and I suggest some steps to do it, this question arise into my mind. We want everything to be perfect but we are resilient to give our efforts in process of change, many of people approaches me for implementation of lean see me as the magician who with no effort can change the things around. This makes me think that why people don't have that zeal to change themselves? I am still trying to find out the reason behind it though I have heard and figured out few reasons. 

           Primarily what I see as reason for reluctance is human psychology to not to leave their comfort zones, though those comfort zones are causing them losses or harm people don't want to come out of it like an addict. They don't want to come out of it to see something new, for them it's good to be behind time but not good to leave their atmosphere where they feel they are unbeatable.
            Another reason from my view is their insecurity, many people feel that current system and set-up is just for them and if anything happens to this they may loose their importance. This thing I have seen mostly in people of my region working as factory in-charges. This let them bind into same old inefficient mechanism, where they work too hard but nothing progressive.
             One more reason I came across is laziness, there are people who love the change in things around them but they don't have that passion to do, they expect some miracle to happen. Well I find majority of people around me in this category. We always praise governmental systems of Europe or Middle east but when same guy is asked to walk to dustbin and throw garbage into it, he will simply deny and throw it anywhere. For the centuries we have this mindset, we wait for 'Avtars' of God to change the society, we waited 190 years for Britishers to leave our nation instead of constant resistance.
            Now what can be done to change this mindset of reluctance to positive change? Well answer from my side is change in current system of education and strong will at core of politics. In current scenario both options sound nearly impossible as there will be many hurdles to do so. But our nation needs it, we are people with higher logic and to nurture that logic we need institutions and infrastructure.I wish within span of a decade we can see these changes or else I must say that I will do something from my side to contribute in this.
            Friends I would be happy to know your views on it, do share what you think as I believe that healthy discussions are platform for big ideas to evolve.
