A thought keeps returning to my mind— a quiet conflict that refuses to settle.

If today you were to place a revolver in my hand, perhaps it would awaken a demon within me. But if that same revolver had been given to me before 1947, it might not have awakened a demon, but instead given birth to a revolutionary— someone ready to lay down his life for the freedom of his nation.

What troubles me more is the reality of today. Where the youth now live freely under an open sky, it was this very sky that our revolutionaries once dreamed of— and for that dream, they sacrificed everything.

They had only one vision— that future generations would breathe in a free India, move forward with purpose, and lead the nation toward a better direction.

But today, I find myself asking— and I wish to ask society as well: Can the youth of today truly see a path that leads this country toward the right direction?

It is true that those who can see such a path have either left for foreign lands or are preparing to leave. Was this the dream of our revolutionaries— that the very people they fought for would one day lose their way without thought?

And yet, hope still remains. There are many young minds even today who wish to understand the right direction, who want to serve the nation, who are willing to walk the right path.

But the real question is— Are we giving them the support, the guidance, and the opportunities that they truly deserve?
