One feeling with which each and every person of a country is bound is their love for their country.Though all of them might not be equally devoted towards their country but still There is some feeling inside every heart. But is that much enough for a person to be called patriotic?

Most of us here are students all set to make our lives and careers. But how many times do we think about our country while thinking about our careers? How many times do we think that with our respective our careers what can we do for our country? How many times do we keep our country above us.

LRL, we believe, to some extent did triggered some patriotism in us.But what actually patriotism is? Is it restricted to fighting war for our country or does Patriotism means celebrating Independence Day and Republic Day and saluting the rich culture and Heritage of our country.

Personally I believe Patriotism is not all about joining Armed Indian Forces or dying for our country. Its more of a feeling for doing something for our country within all the restrictions we live in. Its not about safeguarding the borders only but also about improving the social, economical and not to forget the political
conditions of our country.Infact we dont even have to go out of way to do that. Even if we fulfill all the civic responsibilities like a good citizen should...for Ex- Abiding the law, paying our taxes and use our vote properly we can help our country in a lot many ways.

So tell me what according to you is patriotism? How many times your action is preceded by a thought for your country? Do you really believe that your country belongs to you as much as you belong to your country? Or till date have you ever done something that was not necessary to be done for your own self but you did only because it can make a difference to someone else's life.....

actually i do agree with u sanya 😊 ....
to me, patriotism is not just about loving your country, but about loving the ppl of ur country & trying to help them in every way possible.... its not about criticising ur country, but about looking at its positive sides.... there r so many indians hu sit & talk about the how india is so backward, but let me ask them, what r they doing to help in the growth of the country?

koi bhi desh perfect nahin hota.
usse perfect banana padta hai.

army, airforce,navy, ias join karo aur apne patriotism ko prove karo ya phir apne hi koi style se desh ko behtar se behtareen banao!

Patriotism obviously means...the love for a country.. 😊
but a love for a country does not mean that we should
love the people only...we should love everything that
is somewhere connected to the country..like our culture,
thoughts, religions etc...the respect for them from our
inner hearts show patriotism... šŸ‘that is true DESH-PREM but i am quite dissappointed
that still there are many
people around the country who wants cut the roots of their own country. 😔 u nkow people of AGRA says that
they don't want TAJ MAHAL coz it is becoming a problem
in their factory work.. šŸ˜• i am very shocked at this..
when will people learn to share joy and happiness with
each other and forget the JAT-PATT, religion and all that..
i shall wait eagerly for that day to come šŸ‘
