Republic Day !!
“Republic day!”
The national festival
which is celebrated throughout India irrespective of caste, religion or creed.
On this day all of us are bound by a single feeling that is “the feeling of patriotism.” The feeling
of patriotism is presented by different people in different ways. Some people try
painting their face with the colors of Indian flag whereas some try out bikes
rallies. It just doesn’t end here… A few people have a formal celebration by
having a flag hoisting ceremony followed by the playing of the national anthem
while a few enjoy it as a national holiday and the list goes on.
When I come across the
national festival the first thought that strikes my mind is that are we really patriotic or it’s just a show
off? It’s really worth giving a thought. Because if we really had that love
for our country then we will be proud about our country each and every day and
not just a couple of days which are celebrated as the national festival.
From my perspective the
feeling of being Indian is not just limited to a few particular days or the
times where there’s only progress, but the real patriotism is when a person
starts treating his country as his home and not merely a country of stay. Just like
a person starts feeling comfortable once he enters his home no matter how good
or bad the time is, the same should be the feeling when the country is going
through the hard times. I am sure once people start having the true spirit of
patriotism, there will be no need to show off the feeling of love towards the
country because these feelings will be understood by everyone and for sure will
be relished.
Lastly I would like to
conclude by saying “Unity is our strength
in spite of all the diversities” and shall ever be. That needs no proof and
so does our love for the country. There’s no doubt we should celebrate being a
republican nation, but not at the cost of the pride of the nation. Let us hope
for the best possible future for our country and strive towards making it a
developed country from a developing country.
Cheers and Happy Republic
Day!!
