United We Stand

Let India stand united, and we'll show the world that no one can tear us apart.

We stand united, and see mayhem around us.

We stand united, and watch as terrorists strike again and again.

We stand united, and see dear ones die, while the PM marvels at the speed with whih the cities return to "normal" life.

We stand united, and see our tax money go into defence budgets and intelligence agencies, while they stand united in desperation, hands tied by politicians who are more concerned about vote banks.

We stand united, and watch bureaucracy, red-tapism, and dirty policitos take us for a ride.

And then one day they come and tell us, that we are not one, that we are not the same, that caste-based divisions are a ground eality, that we have to live with it, that we have to be divided so that we can progress, that India is not one Nation after all.

If we were one, would we be mute, helpless recievers to the treatment meted out to us by the powers-that-think-they-are? Would not One Voice be heard across the Nation?
Would we not take up arms against the common enemy?

We are at war, Mr. Prime Minister, and the enemy, am sorry to say, is not one from the outside. You can decide whether to be part of the enemy, or to be one of Us. India would stand divided then, but for a Cause which is essential to achieve True Unity.

We'll stand truly united that day, when we've won the war.
