A letter to Mr. Modi


Mr. Modi-

Many congratulations on your emphatic win. Although you are not my choice, I will support you in your endeavors of taking my India to the next level and accept this as OUR onus.

I look forward to an India where corruption and poverty are mere words and not actions or way of life.

I will not go into why you were not my choice, my memory is mired by the atrocities towards minorities that your state has propagated.

I honestly hope that this was an aberration and that you will not support such action and behavior and that you will uphold all religious sentiments and be the protector of all people irrespective of religion and creed.

I hope you will not allow other people to use your name and power to indulge in uncouth behavior to those who do not follow their credo.

Mr. Modi, I am an Indian FIRST. This is my motherland. I have no other home nor desire to call any other land my own. I refuse to exchange my Passport for any other. Will you respect this and support me?

By nature of birth Mr. Modi, I am born and raised in and believe in the Christian faith. It was not a choice but is now a way of life, I know not any other. As the leader of my secular democratic republic, I look up to you to safeguard my faith and look to my God to Bless you with good health and wisdom to lead us and treat us as equals.

When in school, I learned this pledge and never forgot it, its ingrained in my DNA.

India is my country and all Indians are my brothers and sisters. I love my country and I am proud of its rich and varied heritage. I shall always strive to be worthy of it.
I shall give respect to my parents, teachers and elders and treat everyone with courtesy.
To my country and my people, I pledge my devotion .In their wellbeing and prosperity alone, lies my happiness.


Sincerely,
An Indian who is born and will die Indian.
