Part of - "Hindu and Muslim Communalism".

"... I cannot say what following the Hindu or Muslim communal organizations have. It is possible that in a moment of communal excitement each side may command the allegiance of considerable numbers.
But I do submit that on both sides these organizations represent the rich upper class groups and the struggle for communal advantages is really an attempt of these groups to take as big a share of power and privilege for themselves as possible.
At the most it means jobs for a few of our unemployed intellectuals. How do these communal demands meet the needs of the masses? What is the programme of the Hindu Mahasabha or the Muslim League for the workers, the peasants, and the lower middle classes, which form the great bulk of the nation?
They have no programme except a negative one, as the Mahasabha hinted at Ajmer, of not disturbing the present social order. This in itself shows that the controlling forces of these communal organizations are the upper class, possessing social groups today. The Muslim communalists tell us a great deal about the democracy of Islam but are afraid of democracy in practice; the Hindu communalists talk of nationalism and think in terms of a โHindu nationalismโ.
Personally I am convinced that nationalism can only come out of the ideological fusion of Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and other groups in India. That does not and need not mean the extinction of any real culture of any group, but it does mean a common national outlook, to which other matters are subordinated.
I do not think that Hindu-Muslim or other unity will come merely by reciting it like a mantra. That it will come, I have no doubt, but it will come from below, not above, for many of those above are too much interested in English domination, and hope to preserve their special privileges through it. Social and economic forces will inevitably bring other problems to the front. They will create cleavages along different lines, but the communal cleavage will go.
I have been warned by friends, whose opinion I value, that my attitude towards communal organizations will result in antagonizing any people against me. That is indeed probable. I have no desire to antagonize any countryman of mine for we are in the midst of a mighty struggle against a powerful opponent.
But that very struggle demands that we must check harmful tendencies and always keep the goal before us. I would be false to myself, to my friends and comrades, so many of whom have sacrificed their all at the altar of freedom, and even to those who disapprove of what I say, if I remained a silent witness to an attempt to weaken and check our great struggle for freedom. Those who, in my opinion, are helping in this attempt, may be perfectly honest in the beliefs they hold. I do not challenge their bona fides. But none the less the beliefs may be wrong, ๐๐ฃ๐ฉ๐-๐ฃ๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐๐ก ๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ง๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐๐ง๐ฎ."

You want the young officer to sacrifice his life for the love of the Nation, but you donโt want him to express his love for his fiancรฉe.
In the Army we say โYoungster nahi karega, toh kaun karegaโ.
If you can not find a fault in his professional capabilities, donโt do this nuktachini for such a pure gesture of love and belonging.
Military equipment has been on display during many โKnow your Armyโ exhibitions around the country. The students and non military personnel have clicked pics with it showing pride and love for the Army. So, please donโt bring in the national security angle into this.
Let the young soldier do his national duty with pride and honour ๐

Novak Djokovic on the discipline required to be the best:
"I wanted one thing: to taste chocolate. I hadn't tasted it since the summer of 2010. I broke off one square โ one tiny square โ and popped it into my mouth, let it melt on my tongue. That was all I would allow myself. That's what it has taken to get to number 1."
Condolences to those who have lost their loved ones in the blast in Delhi earlier this evening. May the injured recover at the earliest. Those affected are being assisted by authorities. Reviewed the situation with Home Minister Amit Shah Ji and other officials.
