A message of conviction, truth, and reflection shared by an Indian called Mohan. I feel grateful to you, dear brother, for feeling so much for the nation, and for doing it right: Expressing your feeling. Thank you. Jai Hind.

Dear Arvind,
It has been three years since I started following every tiny move of yours. I say this with conviction, if Swami Vivekananda was alive today, he would not say “Give me a few men and women who are pure and selfless, and I shallshake the world.”, he shall rather say “Give me a few Arvinds and I shall shake the world.” However, I doubt if the Indians today would even allow the great saint to make an honest statement.
Of late, I strongly feel that “You do not deserve politics”, note that I do not say “Politics does not deserve you”. Your brutal honesty and standing to a principle is affecting the political movement in a very serious way. There are millions to pull the rug under your feet, at every possible corner of India, including within the party. There are so many times I have wondered, “should Arvind be so transparent to talk about this in public”, but the more I learn about you, the more I realize that there is no shade of gray in your world. Just revisit the past three days. If you/AAP were “traditional”, a few random news could have been anonymously leaked to get feelers from the public and volunteers and based on the reaction, you could have strategically made a decision. But your transparency caused a problem! You decided to go to the governor, the reason is/was obvious, you then realized that it was a wrong strategy and you openly admitted the mistake and closed the chapter. Now, how do you expect your nasty opponents to understand your naiveness in being transparent? You are now in the jail, your three days in the jail is not that you or the party is unable to pay the Rs. 10000, I am sure there are at least 10000 people willing to pay the Rs.10000 to get you out, but you being in the jail symbolizes the state of the country. People are making ridiculous arguments about you not obliging to the law, but do they realize that the same law has the corrupt you spoke about in the parliament and you in the jail? It is not that they do not realize it, our country has become so rotten that a majority prefers it to be corrupt! They call your act of going to the jail a drama, while they ignore that you have as a principle never sought bail for anything you said which was not wrong. Standing for one’s principles is seen as a drama!
The fourth pillar of democracy is degenerating every day. It takes thousands of crores to run a media house and we do not have the capabilities or resources. While all TV channels were busy criticizing you yesterday, how many channels spoke about the judgement delivered (http://goo.gl/ixAT8G) against the yet to be crowned king? Who will bring justice to the 6 innocents? No one will speak, and the moment you embrace them, you become a minority appeaser. If you ask for a fair trail, you be will called a traitor. Every investigating agency will be in their clutches, and they can show the lack of evidence in every case they desire, and the judiciary will also close the cases. But when a common man dares to talk about it, it will ask him to bring a meticulous docket of evidence! The very same day you were arrested, the soon to be crowned king also made it clear to not use the CAG reports to go behind the corrupt. Did the media talk about it, no. They would rather show your video and talk ill about you, but will not touch the root cause of this case ie., the statement you made.
Coming to the party, while I admire your conviction to go to jail for your principles, I strongly disagree to the party cadre congregating in front of the jail and soliciting other volunteers to join. It is time for us to do internal introspection. Who are the leaders of the party who are making such hasty decisions? Your act of going to the jail, was a voluntary decision to make a point. Then why should they protest outside? The party seems to be making a lot of hasty decisions, and some decisions show a clear absence of rationale. The very same Swami Vivekananda told “Infinite patience, infinite purity, and infinite perseverance are the secret of success in a good cause.”, while AAP has the purity, you have to ensure that patience and perseverance is inculcated. We have tolerated 66 years, a few additional years will do no unprecedented damage, but the fall of the AAP will be the end of the dream of the great saint!
I hope that these three days in the jail give you time to rethink on where we are, where we need to be, and how do we get there. I expect to see a very rejuvenated Arvind, who is much needed for this country than ever before!
Jai hind!
