A modest recommendation from an ordinary social worker

People or Individuals with malicious intent who believe their made-up story has the backing of colonial authority and the former colonizer might feel emboldened by their deceptive goal. They had no idea that this country could build world-class infrastructure, lead 134 other nations in the global south* in building their capacity to help them become self-sufficient, be the world’s pharmacy, or that it had a strong military with an indigenous military industrial complex that will eventually develop into a hub for the global military supply chain, a rising foreign exchange reserve, currently standing at 681 billion dollars, or that it was a nation that could provide food security to 80 crore people without restriction. Could support the unholy, inflexible, and firmly entrenched United Nations organization. It does not bother her. She can withstand decades of left-wing violence, planned acts of violence, and anarchy. She can also withstand acts of religious and ideological terrorism and patiently navigate using a more sophisticated version of the American formula, which is the use of rewards and penalties (the carrot and stick foreign policy). That’s Bharat/India in a nutshell.
Because of freedom of speech and tolerance, any Tom, Dick, or Harry can freely express their extreme anti-national beliefs in order to temporarily shine in front of their radicalized supporters back home. These people, who present idealized visions (mostly utopian fantasies) and offer sugarcoated language in order to obtain a piece of the action, frequently wind up serving as our representatives. They will instantly revert to being nationalist and patriotic as soon as they discern their advantage—be it financial or power-related.
Our society is enthralled with activists who use dishonest and unfair means to extract unreported and unaudited funds from the public for their “just cause,” but we are unwilling to give a single cent, listen, ask for advice, or invite successful people (DOERs or implementors) to share real-world knowledge. We ignore successful individuals like Moirangthem Loiya (the man who created a forest on his own), Talu Devi Shubhra, the founder and proprietor of Meira Foods, Homeshor Paonam (Yumsha), Mr. Thangjam Joykumar Singh (Likla, Thangjam Agro), Mr. N. Irabanta Singh (UNACCO), etc, etc.
Can we be empowered by radical activists who represent international agendas backed by foreign powers? Can their opinions and speeches, full of fire and radicalism, bring something constructive to the table? Unless it is a revolution propelled by extreme ideology and dictatorship, can violence create a prosperous nation? Such a revolution would not last (see Saddam, Gaddafi, and Lenin Stalin), and those that do would do so under the vice-like control of a dictator (like Kim Jong Un of North Korea) or an authoritarian government (like the CCP rule in China). Although radical ideas are necessary to spark a revolution and transform a stagnant society, they are not sustainable.
Any attempt to alter your democratic way of life, if you have been accustomed to it since birth, will only result in catastrophe. Dialogue is a dangerous tool if it is only used to impose your viewpoint on other people and create a rival system known as mobocracy—the Roman term for the rule of the mob—in order to further your own goals. Though my words may not seem related, my knowledgeable and informed friends will understand what I mean. Self-destruction and crab mentality—the inability to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of others and aspire to be like them—are two things that our society excels at. Our three strong points (from laymen to scholars, from karmachari to neta…) are criticism, condemnation, and constant complaining. It is easy to point the finger at people from the mainland, India, a specific religion and its long-standing customs, the Haves and their clever business plans, corruption, nepotism, and favoritism, among other things, but we also tend to do these things within our own families. Let us be sincere with one another and support one another in gaining the self-reliance and sustainability we need. React positively, speak positively, and have optimistic thoughts. Refrain from succumbing to extreme ideologies.
The term “Global South” designates a group of nations that are occasionally referred to as “developing,” “less developed,” or “underdeveloped.” Not all of these nations, but a large number of them are in the Southern Hemisphere, primarily in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
