India is not just a country. It is a divine place where the lucky billion people of the world got the chance to live their own way. No religion, caste, creed, language or any other barrier comes in the way of its UNITY IN DIVERSITY. It has withstood great challenges to its integration from time to time. It has the roller coaster history showing its resolve against all odds.India is the country which devised the Number System- a life line of today’s world. It developed the first science of medicine- The Ayurveda. It conquered the whole world with its cultural power without use of any military power.
India houses the great diversity of people belonging to different religions speaking different languages practising different socio-cultural activities & still living as one.
Indian democratic setup is a example for other countries to follow. It is the biggest & most vibrant democracy in the world. Its inherent strength can be gauged by the fact that when many countries of the world including some neighbouring countries housing a single religious & cultural set of people have to be controlled by the armies instead of democracy denying the basic rights to its people, it is our country which has never resorted to such practise inspite of many provocations both from outside & inside of the country. Since its Independence, it has never compromised on the principles of Democracy & Civil liberties. Indian Constitution ensures all basic rights to its citizen alongwith its safeguards.
The greatness of India lay in the fact that it allows its people to live freely without any bondages. Everybody is free to live in its own way practising its own belief. Everybody has the right to express & speak his/her own mind. Its only in India that one can speak anything – for or against the country & gets away with it. Everyone has the liberty to practise its religion – No ban on turbans, veils or anything else.
However, it is time to introspect that what we are doing for our Country. The irony is that the great heartedness of India is being exploited by few divisive, corrupt & mentally sick people. We have to stand against such disruptive elements & stand above religions, castes & languages to claim what we actually are- INDIAN.
JAI HIND.
