INDIANESS THE DEFINITION FOR PATRIOTISM


Aha!!! found that topic i anticipated for quite sometime. Maybe because i miss being in india thats why i am writing this. What india as a country presents to me (ok apart from bollywood and indian cricketers that you all know about) is the so called "Indianess"(taking inspiration from the movie You, Me and Dupree). Wow!! the word has got that melody to it. Anyway my country inspite of the geographic diversity, the lingual diversity or the ethnic diversity(well by the way i am a Hindu Nedungadi from kerala so that makes me a malayalee, Indian and we are Aryans that makes me a Persian or a European and the whole human race is supposed to have originated from a single man possibly an African so that makes me the final destination of a group of people who are from 3 different continents. Amazing!!!!,) thrives only because we as a group of people living in the world largest democracy are united. Well ,I wonder how many people actually realise that we live in a state where in we have the namboodiris on one hand living with the mohammeds and the chackos side by the side. I mean maybe apart from the time we have prayers or we are lost in some spiritual trance the very idea of religion never crops up. At all times we remain Indian. Maybe this discussion is very well exemplified by the selfless behaviour of the people after the horrible Mumbai blasts that left hundreds dead and many injured. That time we didnt bother about anything, anyone whether Kith or Kin whether Hindu or Muslim ....................
Thats what true patriotism is "Selfless Service For Any True Cause In The Name Of Our Country"..........
Have a beautiful day
