Why should I be proud to be an indian

We have a great culture they say....but ppl are such a hypocrites....we are one family they say....ppl fight with each other....Mumbai has a great spirit they say...ppl dont know whether they return home or not when the leave in the morning and thy know tht its not the spirit but its the  helplessness....we are a developing nation and our economy is growing they say...farmers commit suicide.....women are worshiped here they say....girls are raped brutally in every corner of the country....satyameva jayete they say....but truth is the last thing we discuss in meetings and forums.....sacrifices are made by the great leaders who gave their lives to the country they say...but i dont understand that their sons and daughters are billionares and  rest lay naked in the streets....

I used to take pride in being an indian as a child. Every August 15 was real festival and republic parade was a dream happening. "I am proud of my country"---This is wht i used to think. Ppl leaving this country are so selfish...Asutosh gowathrikar made the Swades movie using this concept. It is really wonderful to live in a world of pseudo patriotism which is encouraged by every teacher to his student. But every great brain has left this country.....I used to think it as betrayal.....we are taught to ask what did u do for the country rather than what the country did for you...put your duties before your responsibilities....is it wrong to question "what this country has done for her honest citizen"... one question kept on bothering me is why are ideals so wrong....why ????

Well it took some years to find a rational answer.....without a bias tht i love my country however dirtyy and filthy is its state....slowly i realized ppl lied about this massive patriotism....every being is free to choose its life in a better way....."selfishness" ...is condemned here but every god dam patriot here is selfish and thats the right way to be....but only thing that hurts is this "brotherhood"....if there is true brotherhood why do we fight every other day...it is this "hypocrisy " that is the route cause of all evils....
The hypocrisy is very dangerous this which i observed in every other person i see around....This is the danger....you are supposed to worship elders how ever rubbish they preach you.....either you act or you cheat yourself....right from morning to night this hypocrisy is evil that is biting this country and god knows whether they recognize this.....

My one question is ..."Do you love India?"----Answer this in your hearts...one thing i request is be true to yourself......
