India

19Apr09

What is a country made of? Is it made of the  lifeless mountains that surround? Is it made of the flowing rivers which perhaps say nothing? Is it made of the gold and coal mine which is useless if not utilized? Is it made of the big landscpaes which still needs eyes to view and poets to call it beautiful. Perhaps no. It is made of the people therein. The society, the culture, the traditions, the scientific advancement, the civilization, the people. India is not about the its hills and sceneries and reserves, it about the people who gives value to relations and family. It is made of the parents who does not leave their children after 18, it is made of the children to does leave their parents when they are old. It is made of the farmers who commit suicide when they cannot pay off their debts, it is made of their sense of self-esteem. It is made of the people who fought their war of independence through non-violence. It is made of  ’Upadnishads’ and Vedas which stesses more on character building then anything else. It is made of the teachings of Vivekananda who asked people to serve the living God – ie the downtrodden ones, rather than the God whom we have never seen. It is made of Indian people who lives in unity among diversity. Lets celebrate the Indian humankind.
