Once upon a time there was an Island between Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal. It was ruled by a person names “Simple”. He was head of the Island, although he treated himself as caretaker. He had 4 sons, all were well settled. One son was looking after security of the Island. 2^nd one was looking after spiritual outlook and education. 3^rd one was after requirement of all necessities for life and last one took care the agricultural activities. All young men were very hard working and supportive to each other. As a result, they prospered in all fields. They got married and were blessed by sons and daughters too. Their prosperity and fame spread across the world. Everybody recognized the peace and prosperity of the Island.

This Island was self dependent in all respect. They grew variety of food grains, fruits, vegetables and milk product. As a result, population of the Island was very strong and physic. They had good distribution system and markets so they were able to provide all necessary goods to their public. Peoples were well educated. There were Gurukuls (Boarding schools) and universities having rich libraries. Classes of math, science, geography, Vedanta, literature and various others subjects were organised. They had strong defense system and strong army comprising of military and naval forces. So non of nearing country had courage to attack on this Iceland.       

There was love and harmony amongst the peoples. Due to excellent education system they were spiritually strong. Their scholars wrote multiple books on different subjects. They were supportive to each other, so when anyone felt hardship he was supported by others. They did excellent research in medical science too. There was no feeling of upper and lower class on the basis of their business or profession. All were treated equally.

Some of the neighboring countries were jealous with prosperity of this Island. They attacked in some portion and looted but could not defeat the Island. Then they decided to misguide their peoples silently. Accordingly, they started mistrusting each other. They were informed that their goods are of inferior quality so they should import goods or services from another country. By this way entire production and distribution system became dependent upon other countries. Due to this migration local industries were destroyed. Same way peoples started hating each other and they developed inferiority complex about each other.

In meantime there was a flood and entire Island was isolated from the rest of the world. Since they were dependent on others so they suffered a lot. Then they realized the meaning of self dependence. They started understanding the importance of indigenous industries and local talent since no one was there to help other than their own peoples.

Friends whether our today;s position is different? In want of better quality goods, we have destroyed our local industries. We are very badly dependent on China for our many essential needs. Which is supplying many troubles to the world and will continue to do so. So let’s support each other, let’s appreciate each other. In case of any emergency Chinese will not come to help us. So be Indian and commit yourself to utilize your knowledge and skill for the development of our country. Come above self interest, be selfless and love for the country. I would like to conclude my words with this beautiful poem.

तू धैर्य रख ऐ शाकी, ऐ मंजर भी रुक जायेगा

थोड़ा इंतजार कर ले, ऐ बवंडर भी झुक जायेगा |

पर याद करना ऐ दोस्तों, फिर से वही गलती मत दोहराना

मतलब परस्ती के चक्कर में, मानवता से दूर न चले जाना |

हेमंत ऋतू अभी आयी है, चमन में फूल खिलेंगे

जल्दी ही ऐ छुआछूत खत्म होगी, हम फिर से गले मिलेंगे|
