Ive always wanted to know why America is what it is. In my analysis of nations, i couldnt quite figure out how it all began. A big piece of land(kind of looks like an island, wonder why people dont call it one). Columbus finds it. Colonization starts. The Britishers arrive. Natives dont feel like natives. George is not from washington, but washington became the name of the place. And then the hub of innovation. The nation embraces capitalism. Open to immigration. Magnet for the best from every part of the world. The chain. Once the hub is set. More and more of the best minds flock. Innovation breeds. Standard of living improves and abracadabra.. The United states of America. with the USP of the American Dream is real.

The missing piece of my dilemma is what happened in the three weeks of a June in a place called Bretton Woods. A league of gentlemen changed the way the world would trade money...  (more on this once im done with all the papers on bretton)

If I was the Prime Minister of India. I would have looked straight at the camera and said these words.

''We donot want to know who you are. We are a nation of a billion names and faces. And eventhough we see your face we will not recognize your race. Today. You sprayed bullets in our city. But you can never tear our hearts. You ripped the love of families. But the whole nation shares their grief. Today, you put tears in our eyes. But we will not fear you.

You should know that you can never paralyse this nation with bullets. You have lost.

You should know that you cannot poison the minds of our citizens. Hindus, Christians, Muslims , Sikhs will embrace each other today. Though you may have a Muslim name. Our people donot recognize your affiliation to the religion of Islam. We understand that no religion on earth defines your action. The brotherhood of this nation is far greater than the pettiness of your hatred and anger. We will not fight each other. You have lost.

Though you may bear passports of our neighbours. We the citizens of India know that no nation shall breed you. You do not belong to anywhere. We will not point our fingers today and make a script of blame frames. Instead we will remember today as a testament to our resilience as a nation. You have lost.

However, you made us realise that we have failed. Not as people but as government.Today,  We the government have failed to protect our citizens. We failed to recognize your existence. Our thoughts were on foreign trade and nuclear deals. Our thoughts were on numbers and zeroes that made this economy. We undermined our domestic security. And, my government will take measures to correct this. Domestic security will and should be the priority of any government. And I would like to apologize to my people for failing to understand this earlier.

Our heroes are braving their lives to capture you today. And I am sure that this collective thought and spirit of my country will kill the rest of you. Your purpose will always be defeated in this country and in any country in the world.

  Today we will support our heroes

Today we will embrace ourselves..

Today we will sing our national anthem

Today we will pray, in the unity of the hymns of all religions that make this nation. For the souls that have departed.

We are one.'' Jai Hind.
