PM Narendra Modi's vital veiled missive to US, other world players - Do not panic or development questions in your mind on India's emergence as a more crucial global player !!
"Challenges are abundant, both internal and external. As we grow stronger and gain more attention, these challenges are bound to increase. External challenges, in particular, are likely to escalate, and I am well aware of this.
However, I want to convey to such forces that the development of Bharat does not mean a threat to anyone," he said in his Independence Day speech.
"....... It is also true that there are some individuals who are unable to appreciate this progress. There are those who cannot think beyond their own welfare and do not care about the well-being of others. Such individuals, with their distorted mindset, are a concern.
"The country must avoid these people, who are mired in despair. When a handful of such individuals, consumed by their own negativity, spread this kind of toxicity, it leads to anarchy, destruction, chaos, and severe setbacks that necessitate immense efforts to rectify."
"These pessimistic elements are not merely hopeless; they are nurturing a negative mindset that dreams of destruction and seeks to undermine our collective progress," PM Modi in his Independence Day speech.
"Even in the past, when we were prosperous, we never dragged the world into wars. We are the land of Buddha, and war is not our path," he said giving a message to the west and especially the US who are often found indulging in anti-India narratives irked over India's growth trajectary.
"Therefore, the world need not worry. As Bharat progresses, I urge the global community to understand Bharat’s values and its thousands of years of history. Do not perceive us as a threat," Modi said. These remarks must be understood in their contexts especially on the backdrops of developments in Bangladesh.
Even as the US has denied its involvement there is wide scale speculation that St Martin island related matters had made Washington unnerved in the recent past especially after Sheikh Hasina had snubbed the western intent.
"Do not resort to strategies that might make it harder for a land capable of contributing to the welfare of all humanity. But I also want to tell my fellow citizens that no matter how many challenges we face, confronting challenges is in Bharat’s nature. We will not waver, tire, stop, or bow down."
"We will leave no stone unturned in fulfilling our commitments, changing the destiny of 140 crore citizens, securing their future, and realizing the nation's dreams. I assure you that we will triumph over every ill-intent with our good intentions," the Prime Minister said.
Fighting Corruption:
The Prime Minister also said, "Changes in the social fabric can sometimes lead to significant challenges. Every citizen has been troubled by the termite of corruption. Corruption at all levels has shattered the common man’s faith in the system."
"The anger caused by the injustice to one's abilities and potential harms the nation's progress. That is why I have launched a widespread war against corruption. I know this battle comes at a price; it costs me my reputation. But no reputation can be more important than the nation, and no dream of mine can be bigger than the nation’s dreams.
"Hence, my fight against corruption will continue with complete sincerity and at a fast pace, and action will be taken against the corrupt. I want to create an environment of fear for the corrupt, so the tradition of looting the common citizen comes to an end."
"However, the biggest new challenge is not just dealing with the corrupt but also the high-level societal change that has emerged. This has become a significant challenge and a grave concern for society. We have a great Constitution. Can anyone imagine that some people in our own country are glorifying corruption?"
"They are openly celebrating corruption. The attempt to sow such seeds in society, the glorification of corruption, and the continuous efforts to increase the acceptance of the corrupt have become a significant challenge for a healthy society and a matter of great concern.
By distancing ourselves from corrupt individuals in society, we can create an environment where those who are corrupt will fear taking that path.
However, if corruption is glorified, even those who are currently honest may begin to see it as a mark of prestige leading them to believe that engaging in such behavior is acceptable."
