Our country has lost
-J.P.Bharathi
In a population of one hundred and thirty crores
If our country loses in the game of cricket
Are you suffering so much?
Our nation suffers when it is morally defeated, not When we loose in cricket match. If we really strived hard, Our country would have become equal to countries like Japan or America.
Even after 75 years of achieving this great independence, till today when many people are still starving for food, clothing and housing our country Has really lost, For self-interest, for power *Our country lost* when we voted and elected politicians who put the country’s future and interests as collateral.
Claiming that our country respects the ideals, the beliefs of others and the sentiments of all.
Even if Sanatana Dharma and Bhagavad Gita are introduced to the whole universe- *Our country is defeated* when there are governments that cannot introduce it in the curriculum of the country.
When we see the judiciary delay in punishing the human beasts who gang-raped and killed a young woman in the heart of the national capital.
*Our country has lost*.
Eleven crore unemployed youth who have studied higher education, Lack proper jobs in the country Because their talent is not valued due to caste reservation, and when they travel to foreign countries *Our country has lost*.
Twelve lakh crores of our money Hidden in a Swiss bank Thieves, illegal officials and so on While looking at the looters and helpless government that can’t do anything *Our country has lost*.
Thirteen crore children Fist begging on footpaths and signals Illiteracy is rising like Mount Everest *Our country has lost*.
Study higher studies Fairly, righteously, with patriotism Poor people who want to participate in development If standing in election – that the money was not distributed, Free plans are not announced, that the medicine was not given,
The day after defeating the bullies, usurpers and extortionists and drowning the country in debt. *Our country has lost* .
We have to suffer for them and not when we lose in sports, if we still do not realise what are our priorities as a country, then really We loose everything.
