Dear Friends!
Republic Day of India is approaching.Its on 26th Jan !!
Why do people(including me) become country conscious only before Aug 15 and Jan 26?π
Same reason you cut a cake and blow a candle, make a wish only on birthdays and not every day..π
Is the concept of patriotism relevant even today?
Actually I dont believe in division of any kind, countries/continents...etc so I am for one nationality... but if I have to I am really proud to be an Indian...though I feel I more at home with the american mind-set..π
Most of the people are of these type these days:
BORN in INDIA ------- Proud to be an indian
Studied in UK ---------- Like ugandans study in India.. do they become indian....
Working in USA ----------- yes everybody knows how racism hurts and although u can enjoy hamburgers and baseball.. americans care a damn about you - brown skin hatred.. so you can never get in the mainstream in any field...however hard you try... there will be grass-roots bias against indians, in every field..Indians are more like work horses ...π the big thing is they like true americans will never let you know.....and always come across as warm and friendliest people on earth...
So they develop afffection to all these countries.Its a natural phenomenon.Affection for what.? There is a sense of attachment out of time-based affection but that changes if you spend next 4 years in tahiti, honduras, brazil... or whereever....
So do you think Patriotism is still relevant??? - Not at all.. unless you go to indian grocery stores rather than american, watch hindi movies... and songs.. instead of american... in short if you dont do this you are like dhobi ka kutta na ghar ka na....
JaiHind! - righto
