Berlinia- A Slave Country

Rulers at home were crueler than Aliens.

Berlinia was one of the largest countries in the world where Sonarika ruled over more than two centuries.

This country was not only enriched with flora and fauna but also nicknamed for its variety of religious faith and practices with a diversity of languages that formed a unique confluence of these in one nation.

Weaknesses of Berlinia

Ignorance, superstition, starvation, corruption and exploitation were allowed to coexist as invisible lethal weapons of oppressors in a slave country.

Wisdom of foreign rulers worked to its extremity to evolve complete mechanism of exploitation, extraction and extortion to design with a legal and ethical coating.

Invader succeeded in their evil designs at the cost of sluggish, selfish and superstitious masses.

Inevitable law of Nature constantly works. Nothing remains permanently except nothing. Having been tortured, insulted and inhumanely treated, victims of slave country began to stand united as each one became a co-sufferer.

Some applied wisdom with their own logic and justification to counter chaos and demand freedom from the foreign rule. Strong to stronger struggles began to carve the history of Berlinia’s freedom movement.

Rise of a warrior

Prabhu Das, a man of words to his deeds, a failed practicing Barrister, became champion of the struggling masses for freedom. His inner strength and unwavering trust in the divine principles of non-violence made the foreign oppressors dazed and disarmed.

Miraculously, masses who had been suppressed for centuries under wicked slavery, having seemingly lost any hope for freedom, now stood up against tyrannical power. Suffocating patriots scattered all over the country, found a true leader in Prabhu Das. They swore to get their beloved nation free from the clutches of foreign rulers.

Shrewd alien rulers, known for their diplomatic distinction, measured the growing courage of common folk to stand and protest against those, whose gaze had made them look down and pray for mercy.

The roots of slavery were so deep that a strong wind of freedom could not uproot it but only a tempest could succeed. It took three decades to gather a momentum of enough intensity to break the vigorous system. That was designed to exploit a slave country under its specially engineered law to justify misdeeds of an alien ruler.

Rulers at home were crueler than aliens

Feudal landlords and most of the Royal Provinces surrendered before the alien might to preserve their own luxuries at the suffering of those whom they had to protect.Selfish devil ruined their conscience.Royalty touched the lowest lowliness.

Defeated royals became agents of oppressor and began to loot their own treasure for the tyrant.

Berlinia was already divided into parts.Revengeful feeling of one against another gave easy access to Alien infiltrators to build up an empire.

Berlinia was steered to attain freedom

Prabhu Das like a competent physician diagnosed the Berlinia that was suffering from illiteracy and deep rooted cowardice.

Truth becomes false if no one stands to its side.Truth is to be spoken with courage to establish it.It is not something that ever remains evergreen.It is only practiced belief.

A true warrior of political freedom now swung into action. Ignited people for freedom fought for their country without weapons of war but with the strength of inner self. Persistent non violent resistance of four decades left aliens with no option except to quit Berlinia.
