Who are we? Descendants of Gandhi who just know non-violence and never think about attacking enemies? or descendants of the like of King Bappa Rawal who defeated Qasim and expanded his kingdom to Persia? We have seen many taking pride being labelled as followers of Mughals and other such invaders, in reality they are the ones whose ancestors have faced much of cruelty which led for their change in faith so instead of celebrating they should be someone who should be fighting them. So why this has happened, for a simple reason that we have been told that no Indian king was successful against invaders and we have just accepted the defeats, while the history is different. Samrat Kalbhoj who is also known as Bappa Rawal has not just defeated Bin Qasim who is highly celebrated by a section of people in the subcontinent. Time for us to learn that Gandhian values are as useless as pager in current times. The offensive of Bappa Rawal not just defended country for one time but for coming centuries. Instead of waiting for enemy to attack and then just to react won't help us for long, we have missed opportunities in 1947, 1965, 1971 and 1999 as well, everytime after the war we have shown desperation to extend the friendship, what it has given to us, well answer we all know, more blood and more deaths of our soldiers and citizens. Just imagine if we have followed footsteps of Bappa Rawal and pushed the enemy to the point of extinction, how developed and peaceful our nation would have been! Also to note that Rawalpindi was named after him, so ask Pakistani friends that their famous Pindi is named after a warrior King who kicked out those invaders whom they consider their heroes. Root cause of such apologetic approach lies in our educational system which is filled with Gandhian and Nehruvian narratives and smartly ignoring the real history of India, forget government, time for us to take matters in our hands, let's take pledge that first we will read and learn our history and will spread it to atleast 10 young students. Just imagine the impact it will create in our society, our new generation instead of feeling sad will feel proud of such a glorious history which will lead to strong and proud next generation. Time for us to bring the change instead of waiting for someone else to do this, I have started doing it and I am sure you all will do this too.
