Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you?
Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
Another day that I woke up at 2:30 and wrote something in my notes app and fall asleep yet again at 4:45; waking up again with my alarm at 8 am in the morning…!
I hope to live on this routine…!
Because the time around 2:30 to 3:30 are becoming the most optimum time for me to write and think because I’m all alone at that point of time and no one distracts my thinking or my thought of process…!
I’ll add at the end what I wrote this morning…
Coming back to the prompt
Patriotism and its meaning to me
First of all, the patriotism is on an all time low because of the way this country is being handled;
The way the so called elected officials are weaponising the religious beliefs of a said community to spew even more hatred towards each other, causing conflict within them each and every single day and making it their main goal of their election campaign…
Do let me know,
Have you ever heard someone say in India ever before—
“हमारा धर्म खतरे में है…!”
(Our religion is at risk…!)
We’ve never heard that in our lifetime ever before and we won’t hear this ever again once this party loses all of its grip and goes away for good…!
Well,
A country where acts of terrorisms happen and the lost lives are used as a weapon of getting votes, the people here are either clueless or don’t care about the direction they’re taken in…!
The deals accepted by our said prime minister to accept USA and Venezuelan oil at prices higher than their counterparts and then welcoming him like he was involved in negating world war 3 shows the hypocrisy of the whole government and its constituents…!
And working on a law that any army retired personnel cannot release a biography or a book until 20 years of retirement challenges all of the basic ideas that define the crooked state and the mishandling of our resources…!
And today’s prompt asks us for patriotism,
You cannot revive something that is taken away from our eyes and being chipped away each day and only fragments are being seen by us every passing day until there will be none…!
A vision into patriotism for our country,
India 🇮🇳
Cheers 🥂
