Siraf itna keh dene se kuchch nahi hoga, agar hum apne aap ko pehchchan-enge nahi aur apne desh ki tarraki ke liye kuch nahi karenge, jat-pat aur dharmik befkufeeyo me fase rahenge, dharma ke naam par danga karenge to kuch nahi hoga yeh keh dene se. Dharam ke naam par hamare pass saal ke 365 din hai, lekin apne desh ke liye, apne desh ke logo ke liye, apne liye hamare paas ek din bhi nahi hai......to jo hamare saath ho raha hai wo sahi hi hai.

Lekin jish Desh ki Greatness saree duniya ki Greatness se kahi jiyada hai, waha ke logo ka itna bura haal dekh kar man bahut rota hai.

Yeh waqt hai, sab duriyo ko mita kar apne Glorious Past ko yaad karte hue, kuch aisa karne ka, jisse hamare desh ki asli pehchchan phir se laut aye, aur hame har chheez ke liye West ki aur na dekhna pade
