INDIA!! - Your motherland ......Is this the only reason why you like it???
A recent report says "55% of India’s population is poor"
Current food inflation - 12.81%
Current fuel inflation - 14.27%
Not only Economic background, Frequent terrorist attacks....Our Commercial capital Bombay had been attacked 8 times by various terrorist groups during different periods. Fights between religious groups, Bribery, Corruption, Poverty etc etc etc.......
In spite of all these reasons, if a page in FB or community in orkut is created in the name of India, in no time people starts liking it. You are an Indian, Is that the only reason???
Hundreds of reasons are there to dislike your nation and Of course you may have hundreds of reasons to like it. Post one reason which made you to like your nation. People who don't like India post why so.....Let us begin the war today ........
actually the thought of patriotism is a type of terrorism...
ReplyDeleteits a demarcation that u put in the name of your nationality jus like caste, creed, community, religion, like that..
but the very thought of unity is extremely necessary for person in a country...
and the gratitude toward the natural resources and other resources that u aquire from your country...
think of a situation like what if Gandhi had not been responsible in freedom fighting..
and what if nehru didnt take part in politics?
the nett result is that we would be the sufferers...
kekalaam indha naadu enaku enna senjuchunu..
nika unaku oru idam iruku..
adhukuda anga eela thamizhargaluku illa..
adhukaagave vaazhanaal poora namma naatuku nanriyoda irukalaam...
so i like India...
Exactly the same which i had on my mind :)
ReplyDeleteBribery,Poverty, Politics etc etc....Everything is because of people who live in the country. India is a land with lots and lots of natural resources in it. It gave me everything I needed to live. I Love my country. A mere thankfulness to the land!!
Everyone has 2 sides, a good one and a bad one, and every country do have those. we love a person for their goodness likewise for the country we can help clear the badness due to ignorance if we could.
ReplyDeleteIt is like you asking why you like your parents. They obviously have many good in them and some bad too. But whatever it is, they are YOUR parents. You have a feeling of belonging. Someone whom you can call your own.
ReplyDeleteThe same thing is with our nation too. The bad is there, yes! But I think the aforementioned things out-weighs all other!
Nothing made me like my nation. I just like it because it is mine!
I read so many western novels, am a big fan of English movies and an even greater lover of the sitcoms (serials). But all these things do not make me want to be a westerner. I love my cultural values and would never be tempted to stray away from it. This is all thanks to my upbringing!
I get goose bumps on my skin if I hear people singing our national anthem together. There is a feeling so profound that you just forget all the problems and be united as Indians. Times like these make you realize that it is a great thing to be a part of India.
I love dressing up in traditional clothes. Heck, I got my nose pierced because it is traditional. Indian food is divine. The people are friendly. Indians are intelligent and are very hard working.
I love many of these things about India and I get real proud when I see anything remotely connected with India in the world media!
I know you are talking about the inflations, economy etc. But see, at this point I thing I am a little on the younger side to understand the entire dynamics of all this.
For a girl my age what interests and excites me are those things that immediately surround me. I may be impacted by the inflations, but unless I start earning (again) I don’t think I can really say that the economy is affecting me.
But the moot point here is that we all mainly love India because it is our nation!
