Hello…Patriotism?

My jingoistic wane,

Subash Chandra Bose and INA

There is much to talk in this post for me. A boy was sitting beside me in bus on 30^th January who was studying 8^th standard in some international school. As a casual talk I asked him about the specialty of the day from history of India. He said no. My next question was “tell me some Freedom Fighters names?” He said Gandhiji (Quite for some seconds) & Hrithik Roshan… Jodha Akbar. I thought he is making fun. No he was bloody serious about his answer. I was enough. Is this our education system today? Yes it has happened now. From Jan 30^th (MARTYRS DAY- Gandhiji’s death day, If you don’t know) I almost talked to 50 students from 4^nd standard to 10^th standard, most of them position is the somehow same I mentioned above. They don’t know independence, republic and simple Indian History. I got “Why our children should study history?” from parents. They only concentrate on Mathematics and science & I am not against it. Social studies is also a subject explains how a child should live, what is our system, country & its responsibilities. It explains how people lived here in this holy motherland and their love towards nation. We have culture called Patriotism in that we give respect to country. Civics, Geography, History creates awareness in child to think and give scope to creativity. Today Renaissance, Indus valley etc has just become burden to score marks in exams for our young generation. Semester system has successfully destructed pupil to forget what he studied before 3 months. Everything including Gandhi became outdated. Subhash, Bagath, Tipu Sultan, Kitturu Chennamma, Lala, Gokhale, Savarkar etc will just remains in Text pages not in heart and soul of our brood.

From past ten years our education system has became shoddier than ever. We should try to make aware about freedom struggle, Independence, Fighters who died for country, Importance of sacrifice, India today, Terror attacks, our system because they are the future citizens who face the worse social conditions which will be more corrupted, bureaucrat system then now. We should prepare them to face further consequences.  How can we think this country will change without a revolution? Every Citizen should revolt against himself, against this corrupted system. We should seed the patriotism in the heart & mind of our students today. We should present them importance of sacrifices. It’s not only about making a child to become a doc or techie. He should be Human and Indian first other then rest. One day may come that Army, navy & air will beg the civilians to join the force. Let’s pray it should not happen.

Why only Pupil? What about our young Indian generation today? Even most of my pals who are MBA’s, techies don’t know our system we live. They have forgotten to “celebrate country”. Today we are in technical life where world runs completely with machines (both human machines & auto). We should start respecting country now and its time. World wars, Martin Luther King, Nazi is too far, but what about jallianwala bagh massacre, Chandra Shekar Azad, Patel, Dinghra, Bose, Bagath, Laxmi bai, Nana, Rana pratap, India Partition? Is these people and millions of others were fools who died for us? Does our blood stew when we hear these names? We should be proud that our country has given birth to many revolutionaries in the past and we are living dumb now and what about future?

We got right to information Act recently (compared to constitution) & we have right to know anything in the country. We are enjoying every right as we are living in democracy. We have owed to build prosperous country as we have 60% of youth as of today. Let’s don’t put our patriotism down. We should raise our voice and work for our country. History repeats, Egypt revolt is best example for this. Gandhiji is not just printed on our currency notes we use, we should know his love towards nation and we should try for honest utilization of that money. Let’s root patriotism again in our own heart & others too. Its shame to sit quite when other nations are humbled for a change; we have democracy to rule the country. For our unity patriotism is the only way to show our existence in this country.

Let’s celebrate our country, National festivals, War Victories, Birthdays of freedom fighters and who build this beautiful country for us. Please don’t let our national Icons to disappear in dust. Youth raise your voice. Come out from your foolish activities. We don’t need Gyms & massage parlors for now. Check current affairs, Politics, situation of country, today’s news not the page3 stuff. Get aware what’s happening in system and don’t forget we are in this system too. Shouting and supporting Indian Cricket team is not the only way to show patriotism. We have thousands of reason to celebrate Country & Patriotism. Let’s take an oath to seed patriotism in everything we do, let’s build this nation more prosper, talented & rich in this world. We have ability to face the resistance which is in our way ahead. It’s not a time to sit lazy. We have responsibility to awake our next generation too. We have 27 600 000 000 hours for a day (1,150,000,000pop * 24hrs) to change our country. Why can’t we achieve our goal when we are united for the country? Let’s make our dreams wider to show the world what we are and work for it without wasting  a second odd.
