WHEN PERVERSION DESTROYS COMMON SENSE

Perversion of thought gradually deprives a person of common sense. When judgment becomes distorted by prejudice, greed, arrogance or ideological obsession, even the simplest truths become difficult to recognise. Such people forget the elementary lessons of honesty, gratitude, responsibility and loyalty that they learned during the formative years of their lives.

The danger becomes far greater when such intellectual or moral distortion enters the minds of society’s influential elites. Ordinary errors may affect a few individuals, but the calculated misconduct of powerful elites can influence institutions, public discourse, education, culture and even national policy. When intelligence is separated from integrity, education becomes merely an instrument of manipulation.

Perverted elites driven by greed are particularly dangerous. Their ambitions are rarely confined to personal enrichment. For money, position, publicity or foreign recognition, they may compromise social harmony, distort facts and undermine the very nation that gave them identity, opportunity and respect. They often present themselves as intellectuals, reformers or defenders of freedom, while remaining conveniently silent whenever truth conflicts with their personal interests.

The situation becomes even more alarming when such individuals maintain questionable international connections. Foreign associations are not inherently objectionable; cooperation among nations is both necessary and beneficial. However, when external influence is combined with greed, ideological hostility and absence of national commitment, vulnerable individuals may become willing participants in conspiracies designed to weaken Bharat from within.

Today, Bharat is confronted by a class of pseudo-intellectuals and morally confused elites who repeatedly attempt to belittle its civilisation, question its achievements and create distrust among its people. They speak loudly about rights but remain silent about duties. They demand accountability from everyone except themselves. They glorify foreign approval while looking down upon the wisdom, traditions and aspirations of their own countrymen.

Nevertheless, the era of unquestioned intellectual domination is gradually ending. The citizens of New Bharat are alert, informed and confident. They have learned to examine narratives, expose hypocrisy and distinguish genuine criticism from calculated hostility. They understand that freedom of expression carries responsibility and that public influence cannot remain permanently detached from public accountability.

New Bharat does not need intolerance or unlawful retaliation to answer such forces. It possesses stronger instruments: truth, constitutional action, democratic awareness, intellectual courage and national unity. Falsehood must be answered with facts, conspiracy with vigilance, greed with integrity, and contempt for the nation with an unwavering commitment to its dignity.

The awakening of Bharat is therefore a welcome sign. Those who underestimate the wisdom of its people will eventually discover that a conscious civilisation cannot be deceived forever.

Let us remain vigilant, united and devoted to the nation.

Joy Hind!
