Patriotism: India

It has been 68 years since India gained Independence, yet we are complacent of the rich Indian Heritage and Culture. Most of us are completely dipped into Westernization and Very few remember India's significance, its history, the sacrifice made by our Freedom Fighters and the difficulties faced by our forefathers during the British Rule. In this modern era, every person desires to buy foreign cars, American fast food, Western Clothes, study in Europe and Work in USA. As the statistics state- Most of Apple Inc.’s engineers are Indians, Microsoft's new CEO is an Indian; Why don't we use this expertise, knowledge and skill in the betterment of our own nation and contribute to the development of Indian Industries, advancement of the economy and benefit the society in which we were brought up. Let us all pledge today to ignite the Spirit of ‪‎Patriotism‬ within ourselves. We are all enraged by the atrocities on women happening in the society and come out in large number to protest against this injustice but such heinous crimes would not take place if we are patriotic towards our motherland and join hands to Stop such acts by an inanimate number of anti-social elements. During a cricket match, all people come together as a nation and cheer for their team but this patriotic spirit dies out after the fireworks and gives way to cast differences and religious tensions. Why don’t we have this unity at all times? Remember all of us should be Indians first by heart, mind and soul irrespective of cast, creed, color or religion. ‪‬‬‬‬
