Transcript
00:00Why don't you represent one?
00:02Why don't you represent one India?
00:04Why don't you represent one unity?
00:06Our oneness actually represents diversity.
00:13Why don't you represent one India?
00:29Yes sir, we are emotional people and we think the reality and emotion for us,
00:35we have one mother, we have one father and what we believe is one
00:39and we need a single, as a representative of a student, being from student background,
00:45I say, no leftist, no rightist, no ABUP or no all those, all so-called parties or polities.
00:54Why don't you stand for one nation?
00:56Why don't you stand for one student power?
00:58Why do we need one side Zindabad, one side Enkhilab, one side Zaheen
01:04and one side your favourite Mr. Madam?
01:06All those Ram Rams, all whatever it is.
01:09Why don't you represent one?
01:11Why don't you represent one India?
01:13Why don't you represent one unity?
01:15Why don't you give us a single policy rather than saying all these what you have said
01:20with due respects for you, with due respects for your PhD.
01:23Why don't you please respect and please propose one unity and one topic saying
01:31which is uniting the entire country
01:33so that the topic says youth is in the crossroad
01:36and my dear sir, yes, youth is in the crossroad
01:39but we are having set our eyes on the goals and we are on our path.
01:45Why don't you please say one policy for entire country
01:49and if I permit and I say, Bhola Bharat Matha Ki Jai Hind!
01:56See, the thing is that I was born because of two people.
02:01If my parents were not married, I would not have been born.
02:07My mother and father got married and obviously
02:13we were born because of what they did after marriage.
02:17So, two people have been born.
02:19As far as one nation is concerned, why don't you support it?
02:23One nation is one. Bharat is one.
02:26There is no doubt in this.
02:28But the constitution which represents this one Bharat
02:34has more than 300 articles.
02:38More than 300 articles are there in that one constitution.
02:42And what you are saying that one nation,
02:46to represent that one nation,
02:49one parliament has two members, Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha.
02:54And the people who are elected to that parliament,
02:57not even one person goes there.
03:00545 members go there.
03:05So, our oneness actually represents diversity.
03:12It has diversity.
03:14And the question you asked,
03:16Jai Shri Ram.
03:18Jai Shri Ram, you speak.
03:20This is your freedom.
03:21You speak Jai Shri Ram, Jai Hanuman.
03:24You speak whatever you want to speak.
03:26Because the permission to speak this thing
03:28is given to us by our constitution.
03:30That is why I will request you
03:34that sometimes you also speak Jai to that constitution
03:39which gives you the freedom to speak.
03:42And as far as I am concerned,
03:44let me tell you that
03:46I was born in Mithila.
03:49My house,
03:51the district where I come from,
03:53is called Vigusarai.
03:55And it is in Mithila.
03:57If you come to my place,
03:59you will be very surprised.
04:01In our village,
04:03every year,
04:04this month of Aghan,
04:06of Hindi,
04:07in that Ayodhya,
04:08a wedding procession comes.
04:10And boys come as a wedding procession.
04:13And Ram Lakshman comes as a groom.
04:17And in our village,
04:19there is a Ram Janki temple
04:21where every year Ram gets married.
04:23And let me tell you an interesting thing.
04:26The people of Mithila
04:28abuse Ramji.
04:30Do you know why?
04:31Because Mithila is Ramji's in-laws' house.
04:34And in this way,
04:35they make fun of Ramji.
04:37In our culture,
04:39when there is a wedding,
04:41the wedding procession comes,
04:43and the bride and groom are abused.
04:47They are abused.
04:49When you come to our place,
04:51you will be very surprised
04:53that people are abusing Ramji
04:55in his welcome.
04:58This is our tradition.
05:00And the culture in which we have grown up,
05:04no god is remembered alone.
05:08You said oneness.
05:10They are not remembered alone.
05:12Ram is always remembered with Sita
05:15and Radha with Krishna.
05:17This is our tradition.
05:19I tell you,
05:20travel this country.
05:22This country is so magnificent
05:24that you cannot imagine it.
05:26And many times,
05:27you will feel small and small
05:29that how small we are in front of this country.
05:32I don't know
05:33who and why
05:36you have put these things in your mind.
05:38But I tell you,
05:40the people who have been born in this country,
05:43cannot be more proud than this.
05:46If you go to Himachal,
05:49then you will feel
05:51that you are in Switzerland.
05:53And if you sleep in the middle of Mangalore and Goa,
05:57then you will feel
05:58as if you are lying in the middle of Miami.
06:00If you roam in the fields of this country,
06:03then you will feel
06:04that this field is bigger than the green field of America.
06:08If you roam in the fields of the South,
06:10then it has its own speciality.
06:12If you roam in the fields of Khotanagpur,
06:15then it is full of mineral resources.
06:17This is what I want to tell you.
06:19Your country is yours.
06:21Just like your mother is yours.
06:23And if you love your mother,
06:26then this is your personal matter.
06:28But when you are walking on the road,
06:31if someone comes,
06:33with a flag of any color,
06:35and with any slogan,
06:37whether it is Inquilab Zindabad
06:39or Jai Sriram,
06:41with that slogan,
06:42with that flag,
06:43and tells you
06:44that you love your mother,
06:46just do it,
06:47then what will be your response?
06:49This country is ours.
06:50We love this country.
06:52And for us,
06:53remember this,
06:55for us,
06:58for us,
07:00love is not something
07:02to show off.
07:04We love,
07:06and carry it in our hearts.
