India, my country is labeled as an underdeveloped one by the rich nations. We have lots of problems.70% of our population are poor and illiterate. 80% of them are even below the poverty line, who cannot even have the subsistence level of income to live. We, the middle class people work hard to earn our living. We travel by bus ad train. We don't have any car. We don't have any luxuries in life, we just have full meal a day, give our children education and our whole lives go away in these thoughts. There are a few rich people here, who have lots of money in their hands. They have lots of luxuries. Skyscrapers and colonies exist side by side. A rich man's car passes away and a poor man who lives in footpath looks at it. This is India, full of dualities.
But still, this is my country. I love to be here. i love to work here . I love to be called one of these crores of ordinary Indian people. I love to walk in a rally with slogans against the corrupt system. i love to fight for the rights of millions of workers. i love to go to the basties and tell the illiterate women that they should be united, they should fight against all the tortures of the male members of their houses. I feel myself privileged to get a proper education in this poor country. I love to go to the night colleges and educate the poor and meritorious students. i love to do whatever small thing i can do for my country , for my people. I feel proud to be in India. I feel proud to be one of these people. I hate the mentalities of the people who want to go abroad only to have some luxuries in life and forget their own country and forget that this county has spent crores of rupees to educate them and make them qualified for those foreign jobs. I hate those people who get education from this country and then dump this country and go to abroad for earning more and more money.. I am extremely happy to be here. I am happy with these buses and trains, with these loadsheddings, with all those small problems we face merely to exist. I was, am and always will be one of the millions of ordinary Indians.
(Sorry if i have hurt anybody's sentiment. because this is only my personal view.)
