I invite you to see this video: Pakistan need 14 runs from 11 balls against india | 2004 | WHO GONNA WIN - YouTube
These two overs of Indian bowling and fielding don't just exemplify excellence in the field, they also underline another point. And here's how you see it:
Note down the names of our cricketers who bowled these overs, those who took catches, those who saved runs in the field, and those who ran in to celebrate each wicket and eventually the victory.
These few minutes of cricket teach us more about what it will take to become first world than a thousand political speeches.
Nothing more needs to be said.
But let's underline the point just made with one more video: Irfan Pathan Hat-trick vs Pakistan - YouTube
Observe carefully that players of different religions as well as regions are playing together absolutely comfortably and are completely united as a team. Result: We dominate.
This is how this country is, and this is how it will stay. India will NEVER be a Hindu Nation or an Islamic Nation or a Christian Nation or a Buddhist Nation or a Sikh Nation. We are, and will stay, firmly secular. Those who want to live in religion-centric countries are welcome to emigrate to other parts of the world.
The central identity here is simply going to be: Indian. That's it.
