One Day Patriotism

Nation today celebrates its 66th Independence Day in the midst of political, economical & social chaos. We have surely travelled a long & tough journey to become”the next super power” and we are proud of making what India is today despite all the odds.

I am observing everyone & almost everything painted in colors of saffron, white & green today. A nation in its colors of “one day patriotism”. Every media is filled with epics of freedom struggle & fighters but what after today? Life will be back to normal; same signal jumps, road rage, shortcuts to success, black & white game of money and our so called gyan.

We are all with Anna Hazare at Jantar Mantar, Facebook & SMS’s but when it comes to act in practicality; patriotism seems to be sitting on back bench and we all represent Gandhiji’s three monkeys. Patriotism is not about covering our self in national colors or supporting Anna at Jantar Mantar but in thinking and acting upon positive changes. Yes, it is difficult to change others or to bring a big change all of a sudden but small individual efforts can surely bring big changes.

Remember, “Satyamev Jayate” is just a mirror; we have to clean the face our self. This country will not be independent in true sense till the time we are not sensitive about our people, nature & moral values. We are the largest democracy with largest number of youths in the world. We are proud of making what India is today despite all the odds and we can surely make it better, we just need to wake up and the time is “NOW”.

With the hope for a better tomorrow I wish you all a happy Independence Day.
