Just a few days back, it was the death anniversary of one of the greatest freedom fighters of Bharat - Bagha Jatin.
As I spend much of my time trying to understand where and how we had been defeated and what could be the remedy to uplift our youth of Bharat from this moribund situation - I read on the Internet about the detailed upbringing and what exactly made them so much formidable that even the so-called modern educated British administration used to be afraid of them.
So, here we go. An excerpt from Wiki about the young Bagha Jatin - in Kolkata.
"
After passing the Entrance examination in 1895 from Krishnanagar Anglo-vernacular School (A.V. School), Jatin joined Calcutta Central College (now Khudiram Bose College), to study Fine Arts. At the same time, he took lessons in steno typing with Mr. Atkinson: this was a new qualification opening the possibilities of a coveted career. Soon he started visiting Swami Vivekananda, whose social thought, and especially his vision of a politically independent India – indispensable for the spiritual progress of humanity – had a great influence on Jatin. The Master taught him the art of conquering libido before raising a batch of young volunteers "with iron muscles and nerves of steel", to serve miserable compatriots during famines, epidemics, and floods and running clubs for "man-making" in the context of a nation under foreign domination. They soon assisted Sister Nivedita, the Swami's Irish disciple, in this venture. According to J. E. Armstrong, Superintendent of the Colonial Police, Jatin "owed his preeminent position in revolutionary circles, not only to his qualities of leadership but in great measure to his reputation of being a Brahmachari with no thought beyond the revolutionary cause."[5] Noticing his ardent desire to die for a cause, Swami Vivekananda sent Jatin to the Gymnasium of Ambu Guha where he himself had practiced wrestling. Jatin met here, among others, Sachin Banerjee, son of Yogendra Vidyabhushan (a popular author of biographies like Mazzini and Garibaldi), who turned into Jatin's mentor. In 1900, his uncle Lalit Kumar married Vidyabhushan's daughter.
Fed up with the colonial system of education, Jatin left for Muzaffarpore in 1899, as secretary of barrister Pringle Kennedy, founder, and editor of the Trihoot Courrier. He was impressed by this historian: through his editorials and from the Congress platform, he showed how urgent it was to have an Indian National Army and to react against the British squandering of the Indian budget to safeguard their interests in China and elsewhere.

Please pay attention to the highlighted portion of the text.
It was Swamiji's one major suggestion to the young generation to have a controlled libido and spend all the energy in the right direction.
Now let us juxtapose this same technique and try to understand how and where we failed.
As I was discussing openly this way of teaching to a group of people - all very well-built- kind of military commando type physique - i explained it my way.
Swamiji knew that the young body works as a powerful engine - creating a lot of energy - continuously.
Now if we don't disseminate that energy - we will burst.
There are two ways we can disseminate that energy.
By absolute physical hard work - like outdoor games - wrestling - swimming - playing football - and all such things - the way I grew up during my childhood. And if the energy is disseminated this way - the libido will be naturally controlled - and we don't have to do any significant research on this matter.
So I discussed my own health during my childhood and told them - actually I never spent a lot of time thinking about this sexist matter - and in fact, I was absolutely naive about a lot of stuff - maybe like how a woman should dress to physically attract a friend and all such matter and it was my natural way of talking to a woman as if she is just a normal partner - not exactly a female friend.
And when I spoke about this thing to all those well-built people who were listening - they were somehow nodding and maybe thinking about the way of their own upbringing.
Now there were a few young boys in our locality who had a very good financial background and came from a strong so-called influential family. But they never used to participate in real-life outdoor games. And I am sorry to say, these boys were somehow attracted to this sex part of human life and they spent a lot of time discussing just that.
Now, come the early '90's of Bharat and we saw the proliferation of cable TV in each and every bedroom of this great nation. The result of this on the public health of the youth of Bharat was catastrophic. I remember, when I used to visit my hometown at Purulia, I felt sad that hardly anybody is playing outside the way we used to flock at the playground and hardly any of our discussions were related to sex or rather sexy women. So the youth detached themselves from the playground and started spending time in front of the TV. At the same time, rudimentary Computer Games started coming to the corner of Bharat.
The result was really catastrophic.
The body of the young generation - which was continuously producing high levels of energy in the body - did not have any other option but to release itself through the libido power of the young body. And significantly, just this was the time when the VCR industry proliferated and the VIDEO parlors started showing the Blue Film in a clandestine manner - and our young generation - without the right guidance simply got attracted towards it - and the damage was done in front of our eyes.
And the same tradition is continuing till today at Bharat.
The young generation is out of touch with the real outdoor games - all spending their valuable time in the virtual world - and releasing their high level of energy through libido power and hence there is so much proliferation in the Internet blue film industry.
As at Purulia, when i visit a nice park that came out of late as a good place for people who are seeking good health - I will tell you the reality and, we will have to look at it very seriously
I have made a friend circle with some of the octogenarian (mostly above the 70s) group people and I feel very happy when they take it as their bragging rights -
Sir, we are living and we have not taken any medicines as such till today and I celebrate their achievements. This group of people has formed their own laughing club and they do freehand exercise and spend a lot of time chit-chatting with one another.
The next level of people whom I observe are from my age group - around 40 to 50 - with very good dress sense - mostly having a weak physical structure - a kind of typical intellectual - they do just morning walk.
The other few guys I have interacted with are absolute commando-style physiques - they do real hard work and have tremendous strong physiques.
The other few guys I have observed are from the age group of 13 - 17 years- all come with a mobile phone - just sit on the benches - and browse through the mobile device - take a selfie and kinds of stuff we usually find from the modern young generation.
Can u imagine the damage that is gradually happening to the modern society of Bharat and the global people in general?
We have started living our lives in the virtual world.
So when you see the fatty health minister of the UK and feel like mocking her
"abey tu pahle aapna health dekh.
phir dusro ka khayal rakhna"
because these people will simply be used as a mole to sell the medicines of modern pharmaceutical industries and the decision of the public health will be taken by a few absolutely unhealthy people at #Davos.
Last but not least - let's watch some of the 70+years people from #Bharat - who were very excited to tell me the #truth
"We are this much healthy even almost without taking any medicines throughout our lives"
Frankly speaking, this should be the motto of the Doctors' community
Creating a society where people remain healthy without taking many medicines - and not the other way around...
#Enjoy...
And now compare the above senior citizens of Bharat claiming it as their bragging right to be healthy without medicines to the video shown below - where people in the USA and EU are dying unnaturally and there is a significant spike in the mortality rates across the US and EU.
Sabkuch dikhta nahi hain - Not everything is visible
#Truth
The human race is not supposed to be the test bed for billionaires doing meeting meeting khel and dramabaji at #davos
