I am feeling inspired and highly optimistic. Our ancestors tried us to teach “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” (This whole earth is your family.). The Congress Party being the oldest one definitely took our ancestor’s preaching seriously and converted it into concrete reality. Hats off to them.
Now I have placed very high hopes in our NRI Indians and those who are high fliers. Please acquire a wife from any country except India. Then come to India, do something to get people’s attention (if nothing else then at least leak CAT, CBSE examination papers) and fight election. This will ensure a Lok Sabha seat in Delhi.
Slowly but surely push your spouses into politics too. Teach them some tricks about Saree, Pallu, Bindi, pooja threads, Karava Chauth….It will ensure their claim to Indian nationality. Let them not surrender their home countries citizenship or passport (whatever the Indian Technicalities and bureaucracy and above all our constitution permits.) You might need it in your hour of reckoning. Remember Peruvians voted a Japanese national as their President. After 10 long years he started feeling nostalgic and returned to his dear homeland Japan and faxed his resignation from the beloved home country.
Indians living abroad, you are in a better position to execute the dream of our ancestors. Give our country a true global face. We have started getting leaders from other countries.I think with globalization, our parliament will be flooded with Columbians, Mexicans, Honoluluians, why forget Pakistanis and Chinese Nationalities. Our communist Bhais will support them as long as they are secular in their views. Our constitution framers have already left so many lacunae. So you have the full backing of the county’s highest source of power, the book called Constitution too. Congress will guard those lacunae with utmost zeal. And you will find enough intellectuals in print and broadcast media backing you. Ladies and Gentlemen, pay heed to the nation’s call. I hope many of you are already feeling charged up!
