Ukrainian war has thought a lot of lessons to humanity. It has destroyed the dreams of liberals of a “war-free world“. Liberals always thought that “Humans are very rational” but this assumption got destroyed when Russia invaded Ukraine. But there is great learning that India and Indians can get from this war. Below are lessons one can learn:
Importance of leadership
Ukrainian war has shown “how important it is to have a wise leader“. Ukrainian war has shown the importance of a wise and experienced leader. No doubt Zelensky is a brave leader but he lacks the necessary political wisdom. Ukraine should have known the diplomacy of “how a small state should behave when it is sandwiched between two superpowers“. Even if everyone supported Ukrain in the war, Zelensky never realized that a big war will happen in the land of Ukraine. The land that witnesses the war will be completely destroyed including the civilians.
In WWR1 England wasn’t much damaged because it was fought on mainland European soil. But WW2 was proved to be fatal to England because the flight dropped bombs in civilian areas in England. In short, if a war happens one should always make sure war never happens on one’s own soil. Zelensky even if he got the support would see the total destruction of Ukrain because superpowers fight on Ukrainian soil. Afghanistan is the best example of it.
India presently has the best leadership and it is the job of every Indian to maintain the same. Indians should never commit the mistake that they have committed in the 2004 election because the nation lost a Gem of leadership.
Importance of self-reliance
In the Ukrainian war, everyone abandoned Ukraine all those promises made were false. Everyone who pushed Ukraine to engage with Russia but no one stood by them like Pakistan was pushed to fight with India in 1971 but no one helped Pakistan. NATO, EU, and all other powers abandoned Ukraine in the middle of the war. All the dreams of NATO membership, EU membership became a bubble on the water. Everyone just sent small ammunitions to fight against Russia which would make Ukraine another Afghanistan.
Now, Indian and Indians should become self-reliant. India should be a great economic power and a military power else no US, UK, EU or even Russia can save us. For that India should become self-reliant and achieve the status of superpower. For this Indians must support Indian business. Because every business Indians give to china is like “paying a Chinese to drop a bomb on you”. It is like Indians are digging their own graveyards.
Importance of knowing the internal enemies
As soon as the war broke out some people in Russia stood against their leader though it was fought in their national interest. Here I am not saying it is right or wrong. Tomorrow if any Chinese or Pakistani misadventure takes place there will always be some internal enemies who will revolt, write and publish against India itself. Here I would like to remember the words of General Bipin Rawat i.e. “India should prepare for two and a half front war“.
Now it is the duty of the Indian Army to fight 2 front wars. But it is the duty of every patriotic Indian to fight the half-front war which is about to happen inside the country.
Importance of knowing the roots
Ukrainians forget their ethnic roots which led them to all the problems that right now they are facing. Any destruction or succession of the civilization is based on the knowledge that they have about their roots. Indians right now should realize their Vedic civilization of culture, ayurvedic medicinal culture, a yogic way of life, and a gurukul system of education.
