The Foul Smell of Cooked PATRIOTISM

 

As a responsible citizen of india,we have some responsibilities and we are bound to fulfill them with utmost sincerety, but in that course, most of us think that , the responsibilities decided by handful of not so wise and orthodox people are the supreme ones,it happens mainly because of our tendency to get brainwashed so easily.All of us possess a great asset our judgement centre i.e. our brain but very few of us use it for fruitful things . Most of us  use it for nonsense acts , and that is a fate and a bane as well for the humankind.We have quite an exceptional tendency to follow the crowd, led by almost anyone, without even pondering, that what is the actual motive of the leader, leading the crowd. In this haphazard, we forget an eternal truth that the crowd does give courage but snatches away our own identity, and a country where religious faiths are followed almost without any sense of judgement,because of unknown fears and lack of confidence in oneself, we forget that all of us have the same red blood and that we are for a far greater purpose on this planet and fight over the meaning of patriotism!Why do we shed off our purpose and  live according to the will of some self made stakeholders of all great human values like patriotism , religion etc.Folks, we are the citizens, who once showed the world how to live with prosperity, we are the pioneers of human civilization, then how can’t it ache all of you when you see the whole world laughing at us hillariously because of our world class portrayal of stupidity?

 

How can we even think of fighting over the definition of patriotism? Or, how can we define in words, such a mystic thing like ‘Patriotism’ acccording to our taste?(It is a sin! And no religion on the planet permitts a sin!We think we are very religious!This proves that we have lack of character!).These days , we are trying to bake , fry and garnish the meaning of patriotism and the most pathetic thing is we are trying to serve it on a platter of religion. Believe me , it is only creating a foul smell and giving a reason to our sisters and brothers around the world a vivid reason to laugh at us.Have we become so foolish and weak?Have we completely lost our sense of judgement?The numerous torch bearers of our independence wouuld be thinking that why are we trying to pull the flag of patriotism so down these days?We are those revolutionary people with brilliant minds who have triumphed Mars, much gracefully than the countries of our sisters and brothers.. if this much high is the height of our endeavours,l then why and how do we showcase thart kind of mockery?

 

How can we judge someone’s patriotism, by rubbish arguments  like the kind of slogan he/she chants or the kind of slogan he/she doesn’t chant.How can we guarantee that the person who chants a slogan is a true patriot or a person who doesn’t chant is not a patriot?How can we lock the meaning of patriotism in the shackles of mere slogans framed by different sects?Is patriotism so small?How can we cook it ? It is a nectar provided by nature to the mankind and we can’t go against nature ! PATRIOTISM HAS ONE AND THE ONLY THEME,WHICH RUNS THROUGH THE VIBRATIONS OF THAT PRECIOUS SENTIMENT “UNITY AT THE TIME OF ADVERSITY AND ILL ACTS” and this theme is there in every INDIAN no need to prove that.It cannot be framed under any banner it is boundless.It is actually a great irony hovering in our country that it religiously as well as intellectually the richest nation on the planet, but we are the ones who use religion as atool to fight with our own sisters and brothers, and divide and discriminate. Religion is actually a wonderful tool to unite through the flow of red blood, but alas!...We believe that the world is our family, but we forget everything when it comes to pragmatic approach and waste our time, energy, money, intellect almost everything on fighting and moulding the meaning of patriotism , religion and all great values. Wow!Even light doesn’t show this much duality!The media which considers itself as the fourth pillar of democracy should also rise above ratings and should avoid useless issues and show the important ones, automatically if the stakeholders will be berieved of cheap publicity, they will be valued less and the people of this nation can indulge in productive things.

 

Folks , I am not some kind of preacher of morality or some ‘Aghori Baba’. I am a very small entity a 19 year old boy, who is trying to throw light on the hazy picture, through his education.Please ! Remove the curtains of ignorance and neglegence, it is enough now!I am not writing all this to show myself above or prove any point I am writing all these because I can’t listen to the cries of my motherland, I can’t adopt the “let it go” attitude and turn away from my responsibilities.We have a lot of good and noble things to deal with, then why do we concentrate much on turning a sweet aroma into a foul smell? Please use your judgement abilities and do the correct thing! Please!..........
