Speech on "patriotism and the young"
Answers
Today is the day when we had received our Independence from the British and our nation became the Independent country in 1947. Like every year, we have gathered here to celebrate the Independence Day and pay tribute to all those great people who have sacrificed and are still sacrificing their lives for guarding and securing the Independence.
I am highly honoured to get an opportunity to deliver a speech on Patriotism. This topic is very sensitive for me because I love my nation, my country very much. We all know how much difficulties and hardships, freedom fighters have faced in order to make India free. The feeling and sensitivity of Patriotism is vital for the Freedom of any Country. A patriotic person is one who is always prepared to sacrifice his/her life for the need and love of his/her country.
Patriotism is one of the best qualities one can have. It is a pious feeling of the mind. Thankfully, we live in the Independent country unlike our great freedom fighters, who had to win it after a lot of struggle and sacrifice. Now, we really don’t have to struggle every day to survive as much as they did.
So, remembering all those great people who have fought for our Independence, we are filled with feelings patriotism. Great people like Mahatma Gandhi, Shahid Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev, Subhash Chandra Bose, Lala Lajpat Rai, Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel and many more saints struggled hard till their last breath, only for the reason that they wanted to see their countrymen live a life in harmony. It is only because of their noble cause that the world still remembers them. However, there are several anti-social elements in our society, who try to spoil the image of our country.
Now-a-days, we see in news, etc that some section of young students from some universities speak against their country. Such people don’t respect the hardships of the Freedom fighters and our Armed forces who protect us every second.
Patriotism can be fulfilled through various other means. Not necessarily, everyone needs to be a freedom fighter or should be serving the Army, Navy or the Air Force. You can exhibit your love towards the nation by being a part of Clean India popularly known as ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan’ or you can help poor, old or needy people, save water, save environment, etc. You may join non-government-organisations (NGOs) and help the needy people. In winters by distributing blankets or in summers by distributing water, you may display your love towards the mankind and thus show your true heroism and patriotism. Patriotism does not only mean to struggle for the freedom of one’s country, it also includes the honest feeling and true love for the country and countrymen which can be displayed through passionate work for the country’s development.
Love your country and show it in your actions.
Thank you!
No, I am not talking about the feeling you get when you watch an India vs Pakistan match, I am talking about the zeal with which you work to make your nation the best in the world. The sentiment that crosses your mind when you see a kid selling flags, before Independence day, at the traffic signal. The pride you feel when somebody abroad asks you which country you belong to and you say India. And when you vote with your fingers crossed and hope that this time the country actually sees ache din.
Many feel that the spirit of patriotism has gotten lost with time, the youth doesn’t believe in the country or its future but the truth is different. The youth believes in itself and it is nothing but a very integral part of this country. For youth, patriotism doesn’t mean blindly following the conventional idea of loving your nation, it means that you own up, you take your responsibilities seriously and show your love by making the nation better in whatever way you can.
The youth has brought great development to the country and this is their way of saying that they love India. They have taken initiatives to make the country better. Today we have great infrastructure, a stable economy, the media industry has grown and so has urbanization, we have better healthcare and education system. All these factors point to only one thing, that we all have been working together to show our love and respect we have towards our country.
But this is also a fact that when it comes to criticizing the country, the youth would not step back, it would be utterly truthful but only so that they could show the nation where it is going wrong. That is what we all do with the people we love, tell them that they are wrong so that they could improve and become better. Hence, the youth doesn’t sugarcoat stuff, it is the staunchest critic and the mad lover.
i hope it would help you
