We - The Indians

India is a world in herself – geographically distinct, culturally varied, an ancient civilization that has over the years interacted with virtually all the world’s races, creeds and ideologies, yet has preserved the unique flavour which underpins and unites the diversity that is India.

We have always accepted and welcomed the people, with their own traditions, from all over the world supporting our belief that the world is one – but a family! With the coordination of different cultures and traditions, we have created and developed our own little space in each sector, whether it may be Entertainment, Commercial or Science & Technology, Medicine.

Each coin has two sides, likewise, the rain and the rainbow also come with dark clouds. If we appreciate the dark clouds, we will be able to enjoy the bright sun following them and ultimately the rainbow colors. If we can accept the appreciation on our success, why can’t we accept the critisism, especially when we fail to succeed? In fact, it will provide us an excellent opportunity to imporve our efforts and make our input more accurate to bring the ultimate success.

On one hand, WE TALK about global citizenship, our rich treasure of tradition and culture, our thoughts, our ethics…etc and on the another hand, WE DO abuse our own system and our own people. There is a big gap between our thoughts and our action. Agreed, criticism is required but we must not develop one sided vision. Let us remember that our motherland – India, is an emerging nation. We have our different priorities at present. We are overcoming the obstacles and limitations with slow but steady progress. We want everything instant and in the way we want, including the growth of the nation. We expect the nation to do something for us, in the way we want! But, we also need to remember that to do so, the nation requires our inputs and our support.

We do have the people in between us, who have brought the glory to the nation on international platform with their valuable inputs and service. In the present world, India is a set example in every sector at global scenario for the growth. But it is sad to note that we remember our duties to pay tribute to our fellow citizens and our motherland only during certain occasions. After the occasion is over, our love, care and concern also conclude with it. We take pride on our National Flag but after all national festivals, majority of the national flags are found in garbage or dustbins. If we really believe in our ethics and tradition and culture, let’s educate atleast one child, let’s provide a shelter to the needyones, let’s ignite the lamp of joy and love in someone’s heart…. The least we can do is, let’s do our best in our own inputs, which will result into our service to the nation. If we cannot do any of this, atleast let’s not abuse others.

We must not forget that we have so many things to look on, our constant growth is an excellent example for any country. Let’s concentrate on the brighter side and put our valuable inputs for the better outputs which we all want.
