In every country people imagine that they are the best and the cleverest and the
others are not so good as they are. The Englishman thinks that he and his country
are the best; the Frenchman is very proud of France and everything French. The
Germans and Italians think no less of their countries and many Indians imagine
that India is in many ways the greatest country in the world. This is wrong.
Everybody wants to think well of himself and his country. But every person or for
that matter every country is partly good and partly bad. We must take the good
wherever we find it and try to remove the bad whatever it may be. We are, of
course, most concerned with our own country. Unhappily, it is in a bad way today.
Most of our people are poor and unhappy. They have no joy in their lives. We have
to find out how we can make them happier. We have to see what is good in our
ways and customs and try to keep it, and whatever is bad we have to discard or
throw away. If we find anything good in other countries, we should certainly take it.
iv. What should we discard or throw away ?
