Need to think...

The last few days everyone of us must have seen or read about the Jinnah Jinn. What made Jaswant Singh call Jinnah a secularist while calling Sardar Patel as a hypocrite. Its very disturbing to see these things. We as a nation have still a long way to realize our feelings for our country. We have a habit of cursing our country, loathing it, comparing it to developed countries and above all embracing their cultures while totally looking down upon our country's rich culture, tradition and values. It has in fact become kind of a HIP to be Westernized or as we more commonly know it "Yo".
But we forget one thing, that our democracy is new and our civilization is one of the oldest in the world. Thousands of people from different lands have migrated from different places and settled in our country from times immemorial, and I dont think there is any problem of being adjusted to that place.
In these times when all the western nations act like a cry baby for losing their jobs to Indians, it is very amusing to see that these very people who propagate a competitive society can talk about someone taking over their jobs. This accusation is not only hilarious but its totally outrageous.
Leaving them apart,I'm very saddened when our own people do not support us. For e.g look at how the SRK grilling episode was captured by the News channels all day long. I was hoping the entire 2 days that some news channel would atleast have the courtesy to interview a US official, diplomat or anyone related, but alas, I was to be disappointed once again by the channels who just kept asking questions to Shahrukh Khan and some other good for nothing individuals like Amar Singh and Salman Khan. Even our own people didn't stand by him.
We rarely see an Australian or an English newspaper carrying a report against their own cricketers. But in India, Dhoni does an ad and the channels say that cricket is their side business. Such a bigot these channels have become.
Its high time that we as citizens of our country hold our country in high esteem. After all a nation is made by its citizens and not vice versa. Our country holds its head high because of its citizens only and its esteem is lowered just because of its people. So, I think it is our utmost duty that instead of slandering our Freedom Fighters for cheap publicity, we give them their due respect. We must unite under one banner "India", and yes there are problems in our country but which country doesn't have its own share of woes. This is our home, so its our duty to clean up the mess.
Its high time that we must again ask ourselves the same age old question which John F Kennedy told his countrymen once "Ask not what the country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country"
