Dear Sushant:
I hope this letter finds you in fine fettle. I am writing to express my concern over the general lack of nationalism and patriotism in the hearts of people of our country. Do you know if we were half as patriotic and nationalistic as other advanced countries, our nation would have been far more advanced than what it is now? Most of the people are just self-centered. They don’t bother about the nation. The rampant corruption, poor standard of services provided by public sector institutes and organizations, poor infra-structure, technological backwardness, the ever-increasing gap between the rich and the poor, etc. are all indications of our lack of patriotism.
What I am talking here must not be confused with extreme nationalism. I am talking about good nationalism. I strongly feel that we the people of India must change our attitude. Most of us, almost 99.999% of us claim our rights only. Our fundamental rights, our comfort, our luxuries, our pleasures, our earnings, our savings, our interests, our likes, etc. are so dear to us that when we feel any encroachment and any threat to them, we raise such a hue and cry. We quote such-and-such articles from the constitution to prove to the world that our rights have been deprived of us. We are so stubbornly selfish.
I feel we must also remember our duties to our motherland and do them as passionately as we claim our rights. The moment we start doing our duties to our motherland, it will become one of the most advanced and progressive countries of the world. I am trying to do my duties very sincerely. I appeal to you to be a good Indian also. The rest is fine. Give regards to uncle and aunt.
Yours affectionately,
