Will Sabeer Bhatia advise the Jews to "appreciate" the Holocaust chapter of their history?
As a matter of fact, only because the Jews remember the history and said "Never again", have they been able to build Israel and all its technological prowess and they have also revived the Hebrew language.
Bharat will do all of it - we will rebuild our great civilization, we will remember our history (Never again!) and honor the memory of our ancestors, and we will also revive our great languages.
India should be able to appreciate every chapter of its history without feeling threatened by it. The Mughals left behind magnificent architecture, art, cuisine, language, and culture. The British left institutions, infrastructure, and the English languageтАФwhich opened doors for millions, including me. I would not have achieved what I have without mastering English.
A mature civilization acknowledges both the achievements and the mistakes of its past. Yet today, too much energy is spent hating what came before us instead of building on it. We should be grateful to the generations that laid the foundations we inherited, learn from history, and focus our attention on creating a better future.
The future is full of opportunity. LetтАЩs embrace it rather than remain trapped in endless battles over the past.
