With Operation Sindoor, A timeless lesson echoes powerfully in today’s Bharat. In the Mahabharat, Mata Kunti, facing unimaginable hardships, prayed to Lord Krishna: "विपदः सन्तु ताः शश्वत तत्र तत्र जगद्गुरो" ( Let there be tribulations, let there be difficulties.) "भवतो दर्शनं यत्स्यादपुनर्भवदर्शनम्" (Because in these difficult situations we have seen you, and you have saved us.) Mata Kunti’s prayer wasn’t for a life free from pain, but for the presence of the Divine that adversity brings. She realized that we see the truest forms of faith, courage, and unity in the darkest moments.
Bharat’s Current Challenge: Operation SINDOOR and Beyond.
As Operation SINDOOR unfolds, Bharat has once again shown the world the power of unity in the face of external threats. For weeks, we Bhartiyas watched with pride as our nation stood firm, our hearts beating as one. But even before this operation concludes, the euphoria is being dampened-not by our adversaries, but by internal divisions stoked by political parties and sensationalist news outlets.
This shift from national pride to political point-scoring breaks my heart. We only talk about unity when our nation is targeted. The moment the immediate threat fades, we risk returning to infighting and division.
Why I Choose Unity- Even if It Means Facing Adversity.
If external challenges are what it takes for Bharat to unite, then I would rather face those challenges than see my people divided. I would always pick a united Bharat over a peaceful but fractured one. Internal discord is far more dangerous than any external enemy. When we are united, we are invincible. Let us not wait for the next crisis to remind us of our oneness. Let us carry the spirit of togetherness in our hearts every day, in every action.
The Crucial Role of the Media: You Are the Message.
In the last few weeks, I, like millions of Bhartiyas, was glued to the news, feeling a sense of pride and belonging. But now, the same channels are becoming difficult to watch. The focus has shifted from national achievement to petty squabbles and blame games. The media, which once brought us together, is now at risk of tearing us apart.
The responsibility to maintain and nurture nationalism lies more with the press than anyone else. Every story, every headline, every debate has the power to unite or divide. When the press prioritizes sensationalism or partisan interests over national unity, it does a disservice to every Bhartiya.
Journalism is not about showing everything. It is a social and national responsibility above all. The world is watching Bharat right now. Every news story shapes the global narrative about who we are and what we stand for. We are already fighting a battle of perceptions on social media and international platforms. When our media diverts attention from the bigger picture to internal squabbles, it weakens our collective resolve and damages our standing on the world stage.
A Personal Appeal to the Media and Every Bhartiya.
This is my heartfelt appeal, not just as a citizen, but as someone who loves this country deeply. Media outlets, you are not just the messengers- you are the message. The responsibility to make or break Bharat rests with you more than anyone else. Serve Bharat Ma with pride and integrity. Think ten times before airing stories that could divide us. Ask yourself: Is this helping build a stronger, more united Bharat?
To my fellow Bhartiyas on social media: You represent us globally. Stay away from hatred. Promote unity. Think beyond local issues-think globally. The world is watching, and the narrative you help shape will define Bharat for generations.
The Threat Is Not Over- Our Unity Is Our Strength.
Operation SINDOOR may still be ongoing, but the real battle is for the soul of Bharat. Let us not squander this moment. Let us rise above petty divisions and show the world the true spirit of Bharat: united, resilient, and unbreakable.
I have seen this before in real life- when a family loses its head, unity prevails only until the rites are done, and then the fight for property begins, even before the pyre is cool. Let us not repeat this mistake as a nation.
In Unity, We Find Our Strength.
If you believe in a strong, united Bharat, share this message. Let’s remind ourselves and our media of what truly matters.
जय हिंद। जय हिंद की सेना। भारत माता की जय। वन्दे मातरम्।
