Intimate Impressions - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

We always talk 'Glorious India/ This chant reaches deafening echo especially around 15th August and 26th January. But what do we actually do to make India glorious? India can become truly glorious only when there is co-operation, harmony and mutual respect between her various regional languages, cultures, religions and social practices.We parrot names of Shakespeare, Edger Alien Poe, Hemingway, Sartre, Kafka and other western intellectuals to establish ourselves as intellectual and learned individuals. But ask these same so called intellectuals about Indian luminaries and they can barely recollect Ravindranath and Premchand and few other masters and go no further. There is only one reason for this sordid state of affairs; even if we rise above the regional language with which we are familiar we invariably look to the west for direction. It is unfortunate that we never even glance at the rich body of work in other regional languages of India.
