Mera Bharat Mahan - II (Alvida)

Day 1,805, 00:50 • Published in India India • by Uv Ajed






Disclaimer: Guys consider this as my last article on erepublik. I am quitting the game, and yeah I am not writing it to gain anyone's sympathy, but if you feel so, feel free to ignore this article.

Anyways before I go there are few things I wanted to put forth. To begin with..
-No, I am not leaving with a broken/sad heart..I am leaving happy, content and proud for having done my bit of little work for this community and the country even in it's virtual presence.

-Neither, am I leaving because as some people would see it that "I lost"

-I am Leaving because I fought for a cause that I still believe in and probably would have continued fighting for it to no end. And all this would have eventually made India's atmosphere poisonous and filled it with hatred, which eventually would have taken a toll on the progress and growth of the country. For a country or community which fights within itself, it would be wrong for us to expect it to grow.

-I would indeed be happy as well if this plan actually works and India grows to a new height and we reach a new destination, that of Success. But unfortunately for this plan to succeed my presence will prove to be detrimental. I won't ever want to be the black sheep on your way.
But sorry I can't change my opinion as well, especially when I don't have a genuine reason to do that.

So that's the real reason I have decided to bid adieu to you all! many have asked me to give the idea a chance, my response to them is simple: Chances are given when their is an equal opportunity to revert, not when you know that the road you are taking has 90% chances of having a dead end and some 10% chance of being the destination. And I don't feel India is ready yet to take that chance as of now.

Maybe I will come back in future after months or years, or maybe not. But when I do I hope that the Indian community has grown stronger and that the country isn't in the hands of foreigners like the case of Thailand or Japan! This was my second innings in the game, the first goes back 4 years in past to March 2008. Back then India was under foreign occupation and we only had one state with us; that is Orissa, which also happens to be my rl home. We fought hard to liberate the country but unfortunately I had to quit the game 4 months into playing it after becoming a victim to plato's wrath. I decided never to return back to the game. But I did 4 years later in February this year, and this 9 months I spent in the game I am going to thank many for their help & support.
But unfortunately, further into the article I am also going to attack some people and some posts that I feel sends out a wrong message to the indian community I belong to. Once again feel free to ignore them if you want to or attack me back if you want to, but Please don't expect any answers or replies from me for my part here will be over with this article.
The First Person would be Ethel Rosenberg. To be honest you remind me of Stan Lee and Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury from the marvel cineverse. You tried a lot to influence Indian politics, even before you became an Indian, trying to give an opinion even in the matters you were not asked for. Anyways, you said it before that you are Eden first and rest later, sorry but majority of us don't share that thought. We are Indians First and rest Later. Plus if I am to believe, in the debate We were told by Arawn and Hamturk that you had been asked by the Eden HQ to refrain from indulging in the MU promotion in India. Yet after they said that you continued posting your views in every MU related article and the polls, etc. trying to influence us to let them in. Not sure if Eden actually warned you or those two were fluking, anyways I don't care anymore.
The Second person would be Zina80. Here are few of your quotes.
"Honestly, i prefer to go somewhere we are welcome. We are all looking for a country that plays this game with dignity & respect and we also like to have fun playing this game. If eIndia is full of old fags and racists, I really don't want to be here. This i believe is a good opportunity for eIndia to have a group of experienced & descent players to add to their community and prosper. If u don't understand it...it will be your loss."
"So... as i said, if we are not even getting a chance to prove who we are, yeah i call it racism or whatever"
And an honest reply which actually came from a Japanese.
Zina, with the big issue of PTOing lately in countries all over, you do need to consider the fact that when a group of people comes into a country which the country has had no experience with before, the country might be cautious and mildly hostile untill a common respect and understanding is reached. Saying that you do lot's of damage and what not isn't automaticaly going to gain you respect in a new community.
Not only that but he also made the reason for our concern clear, the very reason for which you called us "racists"
"Much like some serbs in our country who came in a batch and said they wanted to integrate and wouldn't touch our politics. The first PP election that came after that, they PTOed the 3rd biggest party, they don't want to bother with any forum nor irc, they don't make any articles aside from propaganda articles against decent CPs."

And then several other propaganda prone Americans trying their best to convince us to let you guys in. And some of them were actually funny.
" However we are sensitive to the PTO argument (we are after all coming from the US where people talk of little else) and are willing to work with our potential new hosts. If ultimately the compromise is to stay away for the first two months, then so be it.
I'm not going to sit here and bullshit you though. I am interested in the political game in the future, all you have to do is look at my profile to see that."
And a guy who likes to contradict himself
"I wish our future new hosts can take the courage to accept us and get to know us. i think this is the most honest group of people i have seen in this game and eIndia will be lucky to have UA...as we will be lucky for you to be our hosts."
and
"I am not coming to eIndia so my opinion cannot be considered biased ))"
Sorry but did i read it wrong?

And there were some opinions by the people who have known these guys and warned us.

"Hey this is a great group of players that will help your country for as long as they agree with you... They turned they're backs on they're home country and people because they felt they had some holy right to teach us a lesson.... What happens eIndia when you stop playing by they're rules... They turned they're backs on they're home and claim to have cost us bonuses... what will they do to you!"

And not to forget few neutral ones.
"They need you more than you need them. Just as I did, they are looking for a decent place to play the game, that's it, that's all. I'm a solo player; they're a group. I started over from scratch; they want to continue to build on what they already have."

Some opinions by Indians
"Interesting
Addy is talking about relationship building
Zina, threatening us to declare us "racist" if we do not let them in
Alias vision, makes it clear of his political intentions
A) Does India need damage? if yes, for what - we are already landlocked between Croatia and China,
Economy - It is shit all around the world, u can buy cheap anywhere. Salary, not a big difference, -- more consumers? addl 30 people -- no difference
C) Politics - it only increases of PTO risk"
"finally, onus of proving ur allegiance is with this country is with u . can u list out the things u r willing to sacrifice to be part of this community?"

And then the article in itself was full of brags such as
"Let's assume eIndia had a baby boom next week. How many Gods of War would you expect to come out of that group? How much gold do you expect them to buy and invest in eIndia? How many CPs and PPs and congress medals and MU Commanders would you expect them to produce? And for all of these answers, how long would it take?

UAgg is providing eIndia with the opportunity to provide all of the BENEFITS of such a baby-boom, in a very short time-frame."

"eIndia has a relatively small population which would provide an opportunity for UAgg to personally get involved with, affording a quick integration with the nation rather than being lost in anonymity. Because it's small, the onus is on UAgg to prove it's worth and earn respect. We believe we can, we are only asking for a chance."

But one thing is for sure, that I have lot of respect for Addy! but none for CFovetS or Zina08.

But your views about babyboom and bragging about being stronger than us is something that sends a wrong message to the community. Like others have pointed out before "Learn to win hearts by portraying yourself as equal, rather than trying to win over by showing your superiority"
Finally comment by an Indian that kind of pissed me off
"Why do they need to be in eIndian MUs? Are all eIndians in Marcos or BRATS? No, they're not. Are all eIndians required to sacrifice to be here? No, they're not. These are people who should be here. That's all."
My reply to him
Sorry Arawn you might not have been a part of Indian MU since "god knows when" but that doesn't make us remaining 200 Indians, view it the same way. I am not sure if you are aware but by your comment you are implying that the purpose for which BRATS and MARCOS started have failed! Sorry but I beg to differ on it, because me and several hundreds of Indians don't think so!

To all you guys who have accused me in past few days of being a racist or xenophobe. Here's something for you all..



Because that is my identity, something that'll stay with me forever whether in game or in real life. And I would do everything on my part to protect it!To be honest I don't play the game for the sake of playing one, but for the community and to some extent, the country. Yes I am a Nationalist but never a racist, I am married to a white canadian in real life!
And yeah the damage done by you guys to the Indian community in the context of a greater benefit is something that'll take a long time to heal. You have made several Indians inc. me to rethink our position of being Pro-EDEN.

And the special mentions
Abhinay & Sharry: You both are the protectors of India! India needs you more than you can ever realize.
Asmitatheone, Hemanathan, Rebelash & NavinCharles: You guys are simply awesome and the real mentors India needs. Lead them to the glorious future.
Xordin: Tum toh swayam param brahma ho...Hatsoff to you 🙂
Troj4n20 & ArawnLives: My eBrothers!
Shockwavve: No more long boring articles in eIndia anymore 😛 not atleast from me 🙂
Mohan: After all that happened I don't know If I would remain a die hard eden supporter like I was before, but I do feel that it's worth to give your idea a try. What's more? You could always try to get us a Bulgarian MU to the country and I am pretty sure that those who supported the Eden MU should have no reason to oppose you!
Ashwamedh & Abhi: Sorry for fighting you and abhi when you guys wrote about your anti-EDEN views. But yeah Ash, you are indeed HIDM and will always remain a god to Indians inc. me!
DonMogul: I had a very wrong view about you before especially after the restive and anooj episode. But then you came to IRC and when I asked you to let Arawn run for CP, you accepted it with a big 😁 and then posted an article clarifying your views, which totally changed my opinion about you. Back then I promised you that you would be the official candidate of Forward Bloc and here you are, though my personal opinion might be slightly tilted and biased towards having Asmita or NavinCharles re-elected as CP, but that doesn't change the goddamn fact that you are the official cp candidate of our party and you have the experience to take us ahead. Just make sure to be more active on irc 😛
Ashphalt: Please help your future hubby with the babyboom project, India needs you rl experience!
Deadley: Your experience in finance is something that made plato stand on his seat! keep it up 🙂
BrknSword, Sumitp399, Arminder, Kameenay, Ayush1212, Guessit, AnujJain: 3 words..."You Guys Rock!"
Shakti: Jadi hue ta kebe dekha haba!
Forter: You are an awesome PP! and when time comes, pass on the baton to the one who deserves it the most and whom you believe in.
WildQuark: Sorry we had to fight towards the end. But you succeeded in bringing MoMC back to life! for which kudos to you!
Alector: You don't need to be in power to do something good. Remember the day you stop chasing power will be the day you'll become an immortal god!
Hamturk: I had deep respect for you, but the way you kept trying to attack me, picking up on me and pissing me off every 10 minutes the whole evening y'day on irc. Is something that made me lose all respect i had for you!
And yeah I told you to expect an article if there were multi votings and here it is!
Though to be honest the moment I said that, few minutes later you and some of your supporters disappeared from irc Just to come back 15 minutes later claiming "there is a multi voting against the MU","write an article now!" well, I don't know whether it was voted by some diehard indian who didn't want to let these guys in or by some supporters who wanted to make a point for me to write. What I do know is that it was wrong...no matter who did it!
My request to future CP:Please be more transparent in your dealings, that's the cause I always fought for.
My Two cents to all Indians: Stick to the cause or reason you feel is right like a leech, No matter, come what may!Don't let anything govern or influence your decision without proper reasoning for the same!
That is what is going to keep you strong whether in real life or in game!

With that said, the final question that has lingered on for past few days..
"Why did I change my name?"
To be honest, I don't know the answer.
But what I do know is that



Jai Hind, Dhanyawad, Shukriya....Phir Milenge!


I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
