 Protecting our Sovereignity
Celebrations across the country make us feel enthused, energized and
patriotic all over again. Political rhetoric, majestic parades,
colorful tableaus, songs and dances and a spate of patriotic effusion
in the mass media – all this will capture our collective imagination
for a few hours or days. And then it will be back to the normal rut of
life and living.
Is
patriotism only about fighting at the borders of the country,
sacrificing one’s life? Can patriotism not be reflected in little acts
by caring and respecting our own citizens? Is patriotism only a
value that has to be bandied on certain days and in certain ways?
 Gandhi, Nehru and Maulana Azad
We wish every success to "Thejas Daily", which will
be launching on our 57th Republic Day, 26th January 2006. We hope it will
provide a media framework though which, oppressed people can channel
their efforts towards a unified and collective voice.
