Defensive foreign policy “A major drawback for vibrant India”

From the history we must learn the lesson of being aggressive with our foreign policy. Successive Indian governments have always been over defensive with their approach towards foreign affairs and the Indian stand. We must profit the world with our intellectual and responsible civilization. Seeing injustice is as equal a crime as being the executer of injustice. For the sake of good relations with China, Indian government is thinking of scrapping the visit of Shri Dalai Lama to Arunanchal Pradesh! This is a defeat of self interest to morality; just a few days back, when I was celebrating Diwali far from home, some American, who is the president of a country named United States of America, told me with utmost elegance that Diwali is a festival of the Victory by the Light over Darkness, on the Devil by the kind, of the prosperity over atrocity. Shameful the fact is, the very origin of such great traditions, is falling victim of desire of fulfilling self interests even if it comes averting the principles, which our great culture preaches us!
The Father of the nation, Mohan Das Karamchand Gandhi, himself said that for the attainment of the holy goal, our means should also be equally holy; ironically the ruling party claims to be following Gandhian ideology diligently! If we’ve provided shelter to a great leader of Mankind, I must press it’s our fortune that such a great soul resides among us, then why to restrain His holiness from travelling to a place that is the part of our country, no matter what China says, we must not scrap this visit and stamp our degradation of moral character over availing ourselves with whatever profit it might get us diplomatically or any other way.
We blatantly got failed in our efforts of rectifying the framework of United Nations for the betterment of the principle of Equality by not getting the Security Council reworked. We failed to provide this world a far strong United Nations’ leader in the form of Shashi Tharoor and USA got success in putting a weaker leader of its choice instead. We failed to convince Switzerland for the disclosing of assets mounted in its jurisdiction, especially when the person was proven offender and our democratic government, means the voice of a Billion people, requested Swiss authorities to do so. We failed to protect Women in Iraq, Afganistan, Pakistan and in other Islamic bigot states like UAE, Middle East and all. We failed to protect Tibetans, who relied and had faith on us, who came for shelter and got nothing in reply! This is the stark truth of this ancient civilization. This is the essence of this vibrant democracy, who declares on its emblem “Satyamev Jayate” (truth always wins).
Ending this article, I pay my deepest condolences to the people I saw getting injustice and couldn’t do anything fruitful despite a few efforts that I made, I feel shameful over myself, I am feeling weak, I am feeling tired, I am feeling sad but I am not defeated, I promise to all, till eternity, I shall always be there, for them in the hour of need, I shall always be with the truth and justice, and will lead the Humankind to its the most glorious and rightful place, long live mankind!
