    Default Birth of patriotism in India

    I wonder, if Patriotism is every one’s business or not? To be frank, the answer is “No”. Kings of ancient India were fighting with each other, till the advent of the English East India Company. Even great emperors failed to accomplish the idea of the so called “Bharat Varsha” (Indian Empire) & the common man cared to mind his own business. Patriotism displayed occasionally by subjects was directed to their own principalities of residence.

    Under the British rule, Indian youngsters were sent to Britain for higher studies, so that they could be trained as middle man between the common man in India and the British authorities. The idea of patriotism which led to the formation of free young India through nationalist movement came from those students. Nevertheless to say, they were wards of rich and effluent Indians of those days. Very few had come to these positions by hard work due to lack of opportunities.

    For a good politician to emerge in today’s Indian scenario, it is inevitable that he has to be a financially independent individual so as to satisfy his basic needs, able to support his family himself. While this tenure in completed, he has to train himself in his career, contribute towards the society and understand the strength, weakness opportunities and needs of the society so as to frame proper policies.

    i think patriotism comes in when there is need of the hour. people do not tend to be patriotic just for the sake of it. only when conditions are sensitive one stands up to be a patriot, but these days thats just not enough. one needs to be capable of doing things which can be effective. its power to do something which is necessary to be a patriot these days.

    I am absolutely agree with your thoughts Tiger... when there is a need of an hour then only people wake up and fight for the country until then they are busy sleeping and busy in their work..

    1857 was the time when people realized the need of getting a free nation. Under the leadership or you can say influence of Mangal Pandey the first fight of freedom got its way from meerut and lots of people were then involved in it. People do not usually realize the need to fight until they find water level above their heads.

    i think some times we get to late to wake up and fight for our rights,
    but thing should not be like that, we must aware of things around us earlier when they get worst, we must take some action earlier...

    I agree with Sumit Tiwari,we must be aware of the issues in our country.At the time of necessity we must be ready to serve the nation.However long lectures on Patriotism do not help and we should be aware of things around us before hand.
