Tumultous ganga, mighty himalayas and an uninspired land

Incredible inspiring landscapes of Himalayas. Immensely energetic rivers in ganga and Brahmaputra. Eclectic panoramas. But whom did they inspire. India - no. I don't think so. Not if you consider a population as a whole. But for sure they did for anyone who came and saw them. What went wrong, why do we miss the under current of where we inhabit. Why did not an adventure seeking generation ever come about in our land. Why did we not explore and seek. These questions pop up ever so often. Arguing from all sides I perceive it to be a narrow thought. Engrossed in the divisive and self proclaiming thought process. That is what we get as an Indian mindset. To gloss it and put covers over the rot put in an unquestioned obedience as a virtue. Supressing the questioning as it would be uncomfortable made us followers and not leaders. To add in the need to assert and massage the ego let's rub others down, the norm. And here we are. Generations inept at dreaming and exploring have gone by. Explain it with poverty or subjugation but you cannot as they resulted from this attitude and not the other way around. These thoughts I am sure bother most of my generation as to why are we not assertive, not proud, why we want to gel in and not stand out - co front these questions India and emerge stronger.
Last night seeing a painting of the Himalayan landscape was inspiring. Maybe its personal my love love for the mountains. But they are not cold, distant and daunting. They are without malice and prejudices. Welcome each one as to his will and ability. My mind flipped to bhupen hazarika song of gangs and the feeling was contrasting and poignant. Immense imposing nature has not been able to inspire us and a land of hollow people hollow thoughts is what it became. Watching with passionate passiveness the as a third person their own lives.
I am no pessimist I remind but till I do not confront my history I will not emerge stronger. I will change and so will my land. Explorers shall prop as they are and we will be strong. Only I wish that the noise of the narrow minded thoughts don't drown the beating of my heart.
