IS INDIA DYING
I wrote the following article when I was in Class XI for publication in DIPS DIARY. I
handed over a copy to one of my friends, who said he will submit it to the then eleventh
class representative of the Edboard. Later I was told by my friend, that this person (I
don’t want to take any names!) read my article and then tore it to pieces.
Fortunately I saved a copy for myself. :))
It might be so, that my article is poor at content, language or both of them. But it is
highly unprofessional of an editor to ‘tear’ an article. Incase, he didn’t
find the article upto the mark, he could have gracefully returned back my copy. The
impulsive action he took seems to be due to incompatible personal views. In such a case,
as the editor of hindi section of INSITE (NSIT mag), I would have talked to the author and
tried to come to a compromise where the article can be printed or returned it back in a
dignified manner.
I write this in hope, that may be, someday ‘this person’ shall read this and
send me an apology or justification.
The article is present underneath. It contains my views as in eleventh standard, the
things in brackets have been added later.
Do send me honest views whether the article is really all that bad.
IS INDIA DYING? |
Taking may be its last few
breaths, at the hands of West… will India die? The western culture is engulfing the
heartfelt emotions and traditions of India. The pioneer in moral sciences, philosophy and
spirituality is forgotten by its very own people, leaving it to strive and die. |
