A
befitting honour indeed.
Alas!
our zeal for emulation ended there itself. Never did it venture a
step further. Practicing of its doctrines has been totally
forgotten, better say, its existence has been safely and
conveniently pushed into oblivion. The materialistic craze of this
century has so clouded our reasoning faculty that we have allowed it
to roll back, retracing its track to the point of starting. Hence
the emergence of darkness and its sinister off-spring-the dismal
woe.
Perhaps,
for this, the Dharma Chakra that has been stuck up in our tri-colour
flutters incessantly to get released and move freely and
majestically as it did' in the hoary past. But it cannot; for, we
have captured and cast it between two strips of faded and forlorn
cloth to remain there eternally. Unable to get out of it, it seems
making a fervent plea to the omni- present all powerful air,
whenever it chooses to touch it, to spread its grandiose message to
one and all, or over whomsoever it passes.
