I am also India

Hello everyone.

I wrote this article some time back when i came across an interesting piece of information in a General Knowledge book. I was surprised to read, what i read and i think you'd be too.

I was in this town in one of the neighboring states of the capital. I was staying with a friend for a few days. While at his home, i stumbled upon a small pile of old books.
I squeezed out One tiny and thin book from the stumbling pile.It was a book on General Knowledge which was circulated locally across the Government school.

While going through the dusty and half torn pages of the book, i came across a statement which made me sit up and compelled me to take another look at it.

What i read went something like this; " Arunachal Pradesh, one of the Eastern most states of India does not have any News Paper Circulation"

I was shocked. Completely baffled by this revelation.
I thought to myself, how is it that in today's time, we cannot supply a NEWSPAPER to one of our states.

Immediately, i called up a friend who hails from the very state. And when i told her about what i had just read, i sensed frustration and a little bit of anger.
She said, and i quote;" No Daa! Its not true."

As it turns out that Arunachal Pradesh has all the Premier publications of Newspaper being circulated day in and day out.

One of them being,

Which brings in light another revelation, that being books being provided in schools to educate the future of India are misguiding the kids and filling their tender brains with incorrect information.

In today's times we put so much focus on learning about the world, whereas we are ignoring our own motherland, our own people. We are ignoring India.

And i guess that is why My friend, who I lovingly call Kylen was asked by an ignorant college student if she was from Arunachal Pradesh which is in China?

And then we wonder why some organisations in North East and now in Chattisgarh, try to make a bloody point, seeking liberty, yelling out; I am also India.
