Patriotism in India

By patriotism we mean genuine warmth for ones own country. patriotism must not be misinterpreted as ones hatred for other countries. If one loves his own country and hates other countries, then it is nationalism rather than patriotism. Mother and the fatherland are superior to the heaven. We do neer lose our honour for our mother even if she does not love us. as well we respect our country in all situations. We are indebted to our motherland where we are born and brought up.It is our moral duty to keep her head high. Patriotism is a virtue which can be expressed in divergent ways. A true patriot tries to do something for the development of his country. When Abraham Lincoln was a child he noticed the misery of the slaves in America. He like America but did not like the slavery system. So when he became the President of America he abolished the ugly system and established democracy. Thus, he did some noble thing to keep up the prestige of his country.So he is a true patriot. I ndia is also proud of being the motherland of great(p) patriots like Rana Pratap, Shivaji, M. K. Gandhi, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Subhas Chandra Bose. History is full of praise for these figures. They dedicated themselves to the get down of their dear motherland. M. K. Gandhi gave up his personal interest and struggled for the interest of our country. Nelson Mandela of South Africa is also a true patriot. A patriot is different from a political leader.A politician shows no genuine love for any idea or for his country. Of course, patriots oft indulge in politics. But they do not play cruddy politics. Today, many touts and politicians claim that they are patriots. But in their activities they are antinational. They give-up the ghost secret shelter to terrorists. Their main aim is to reap some egotistical gain for themselves. A true patriot never advertises. Patriotism is more different from narrowness.
