Do not glorify Japan
March 27th 2011 16:03
Today several attempts are being made to glorify Japan but I have a problem with this, these are the people who invented Kamikaze and Harakiri please do not glorify them there is no scope for the individual in their way of thinking. Our culture and theirs is too different to ever bridge the gap.
They were responsible for bloodshed and brutality in Andamans, their armies tortured and killed civilians all over Asia, their duplicity and deceit led to an unprovoked attack on Pearl Harbour and they treated their prisoners as sub humans.
I have no intention of even believing that such a people can be great.
Look at India:
The world was awe struck by the Atom Bomb
We created a new weapon Ahimsa
The world created military empires
We created an emotional empire called India.
The west created Robber Barons, we created a Gandhi and Nehru,
A nation of hungry millions we forced a super rich empire to admire and respect us and give us our freedom, to treat us as equals and negotiate with us.
No nation can be greater than India.
Just for the record let us look at Japanese traits which are so admirable. Before we go gaga over this pause to read Indian History and you will be stunned to know that once upon a time Indian homes did not have doors or locks because there were no thiefs in India, this was before the British created Indian bureaucrats and the Indian Police. Anyhow back to Japanese traits:
THE CALM
Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow itself has been elevated.
THE DIGNITY
Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough word or a crude gesture.
THE ABILITY
The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed but didn’t fall.
THE GRACE
People bought only what they needed for the present, so everybody could get something.
THE ORDER
No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the roads. Just understanding.
THE SACRIFICE
Fifty workers stayed back to pump sea water in the N-reactors. How will they ever be repaid?
THE TENDERNESS
Restaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The strong cared for the weak
THE TRAINING
The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do. And they did just that.
THE MEDIA
They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No silly reporters. Only calm reportage.
THE CONSCIENCE
When the power went off in a store, people put things back on the shelves and left quietly
Last but not least let us look at Indian History
On the gates of the Red Fort and in the Lucknow Residency two things happened.
A group of teenagers actually boarders living in La Martiniere College were in the Residency when the Nawabs army attacked and virtually wiped out its defences, left alive were a group of wives and children of British officers. The teenagers picked up the long muskets they inherited from the dead sepoys and exhibited all the traits of bravery discipline and calm that are being attributed to the Japanese and held the defences till they were relieved by a force from outside.
At the Red Fort when Hudsons Regiment reach the moat they found that the defenses were impregnable there was no way that the British would be able to retake India, they had lost it forever. Then a group of Indian sepoys decided that enough was enough. They drained the moat, and lay down in groups on top of each other, like this they formed a human bridge, they exhibited all the traits that the Japanese are supposed to have, canons were dragged over them into the fort to overwhelm the defenses, Delhi fell back to the British and the impossible was achieved by these humble Indians.
Today However we have the wrong kind of Indians in power, they build mulit crore parks, they steal development funds we need to form a human bridge to overwhelm them and take back Indian for the true Indians, those who are any day better than the Japanese
