But all through the history of mankind, it has been narrowly understood. 1 -> Today , people have begun to realise that patriotism is an essential part of human instinct. Patriotism has its 5-> negative sides particularly when it exceeds its proper bounds. People who think their own country to be the best and are blind to its weaknesses are not patriots at all. We are the members of a large human family and so cannot neglect our duties and responsibilities towards it. 2-> Our love for the country should’ve conditioned by respect for the whole community. Narrow prejudice can do nothing except to bring 3-> misfortune. In trying to overlook others’ interest in the modern world, we harm our own. Patriotism should be tempered with reason so that it may not be an evil.
