WHY WE NEED TO BE PROUD 2B INDIANS

“He who loves not his country can love nothing” said Byron

Our motherland nurtures us and grooms us into responsible citizens of
the world.Every individual, must therefore love his motherland
without any expectations and contribute to its wellbeing. Ask not
what the country has done for you, ask what you have done for the
country.One’s identity is basically linked to one’s land of birth,
and India our land of birth is vast from the snowy peaks of the
Himalayas to the backwaters of Kerala.It offers us various blessings,
so that we can be truly proud of calling ourselves Indians.

India is a developing country which has made rapid progress in all
spheres of human activity since independence. Coupled with brilliant
past rights since the days of Indus Valley civilisation, India has
made many achievements in the fields of art, architecture, culture
and religion.

Our Vedas and Upanishads, along with the timeless epics such as
Ramayana and Mahabharata display how splendid the country was in the
past.

In the fields of science and technology, India’s contribution has
been immense.It was India that taught the world how to count.
Even in the field of medicine and education, our contribution stands
apart. Ayurveda, the earliest form of medicine known to human
civilisation is India’s contribution to the world. About 2600 years
ago, surgeons like Shushrutha undertook complicated surgeries like
cataract, caesarian operations and fitting of artificial limbs.

Indians were the first to navigate the choppy seas and the
word ‘navigation’ owes its origin to the Sanskrit word ‘navgaith’.

Our one billion plus population comprises of different cultural and
racial groups but, we all share a common bond of Indian-ness and are
a living symbol of unity in diversity.

An emerging super power economically and technologically, India will
soon find itself a place of pride. All we need to come up is the will
to accomplish this.

All of us thus, belong to such a country which along with its
glorious past is marching confidently towards the future unveiling
all its strength for all to see and admire. This reason is enough for
us to be proud to be INDIANS.
