Serve the nation through constructive work not by words alone

Mere singing patriotic songs are not enough and expected of us as a true citizen. We cannot force or blame those who are not interested in singing our national song. It will be foolish to consider those people anti-nationalist. The hues and cries over our national song ‘Vande Matram’ was in the news last week. It was really unfortunate to celebrate the centenary of its origin by dispute and controversy. We could have enjoyed and celebrated this beautiful song provided this issue could be averted from political gimmicks. We can enjoy this song like our freedom fighters if we have the feeling to serve our nation in whatever mean possible. If we are lacking these feelings and are not ready to take challenges faced by our country today like poverty, illiteracy, corruption, terrorism, unemployment, we don’t have the right to claim ourselves as true nationalist and others as antisocial people. The key is to fulfill your responsibility honestly and timely. You are a true citizen if you are concerned and act positively towards social matters of public interest and do not encourage corrupt behaviour your day to day life. We witness day violence is our daily life. India is based on harmony, self respect, brotherhood and co-existent among its people. We must believe in our roots and don’t let is loosen its grip from the soil.
