Proud to be an INDIAN

India- Land of diversity, culture and color. The best way to discover the true India is to travel in a second class compartment of a long distance train. Everywhere you go you can hear and see something different. This is the land of Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Tagore.. what the hell Sachin Tendulkar.. come on the first human to score 2oo in an ODI... that is something you can proudly say. But alas.. not many are proud to be Indians.

It has to do with the media and their insane obsession to report the sad side of life. Our media is so obsessed with TRP and making money that they have forgotten their true purpose- to present the truth and not a biased point of view. Everywhere you look whether maybe it be TV or newspaper, only thing you will find is news about rape, murder and scandals. The story of a mother working 20 hours a day to pay for her son's education and he finally making it to IIM is lost somewhere along the line.

I accept there are some shortcomings in our country. There is corruption, Kashmir, naxals, China, Pakistan and religion that i can name few. All of them have their own challenges but the most dangerous of all of them is religion. We have seen many instances of communal violence that caused havoc in our country. I believe the resolution was put forward very simply by the person who is going to be the next Chief Justice of India “religion is a matter of personal belief and is better kept at home.”

I am proud to be an Indian and I want to let the world know it to.
