Write a speech on patriotism.
Answers
Answer:
Patriotism is the love and pride for one’s nation to an extent of sacrificing even one’s life for the betterment of it. A great sense of patriotism was shown by our freedom fighters during their struggle for independence. A soldier is also considered to be a patriot who loves and respects his country and is ready to sacrifice his life for the development of it. Does that mean only soldiers and freedom fighters are patriots? Well below-given speeches on patriotism, a long speech on patriotism and a short patriotism speech in English will answer a few questions about patriotism.
Long Patriotism Speech in English
'Good morning everyone!' It is my pleasure to say a few words about patriotism. You may have heard this word many times especially to describe the freedom fighters. So what is patriotism ? and who is said to be a patriotic person?
Patriotism could be defined as the love for the nation to the extent of sacrificing your life for the betterment of it. A person who supports his or her country and is ready to defend it against enemies is called a patriot. A true patriot is considered to be the backbone of the nation.
Patriotism is required for the growth of a nation. The patriotism of a person is tested during important times like the sudden outbreak of a pandemic, a war, during national disasters and national emergencies.
We could say that our freedom fighters were the best example of patriotism. During that time every Indian wanted one thing and it was to have freedom from British rule. Many freedom fighters worked together to achieve independence. They are the true example of a patriot who did not think about their lives and made a lot of sacrifices to bring independence to our country. It is because of the patriotism shown by leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Abdul Kalam Azad, and many noble personalities that we live in a free and democratic country.
I do believe that being patriotic for the country only on Republic day and independence day is not the true form of patriotism, Posting about it on social media is not patriotic. A patriotic person will always work for the country's development silently. A patriot will be ready to help his fellow Indians whenever they are in danger rather than posting it about on social media. Patriotism cannot be taught by anyone as it is the true feeling a person develops on his own.
You may think that patriotism always means to go to war for the country or shed the blood of the enemies who are against the country. Well, patriotism does not always mean fighting for the country or shedding blood. Showing true love for a country when it’s in danger through your actions is patriotism and the best example was given by few people in 2020.
We all know 2020 was a harsh year due to covid-19. Many Indians lost their lives and jobs, schools were closed. No transportation facilities were provided to migrant workers and farmers, and hospitals were rushed with patients who were infected by the coronavirus. This was the time true patriotism was shown by many people which included front line workers and actor Sonu Sood.
Ever since the outbreak of coronavirus Sonu Sood has shown his love for his fellow Indians by helping thousands of migrant workers, students, and formers through a random act of kindness. From providing meals to the underprivileged and offering transport facilities for standard laborers to help them get back to their hometown. He also denoted personal protective equipment to frontline health care personnel and that for me is the sign of a true patriot as he was there to help the country when it was in danger.
I would like to conclude this speech by saying that we should all show unity and togetherness. By helping each other only we can be the ladder that would help in developing our country. As I said patriotism is the most important thing for the development of the country. A patriot on the other hand could be anyone who does his job with a passion which would result in the development of the country. Thank you and Jai Hind.
