Rising patriotism – leading India

I was so pleasantly surprised today that it filled me with a great anticipation for the future of my country, India.

I went to watch a movie in a theatre. There was this short feature on the Indian army specifically placed in the glacier filled areas near the country borders. It lasted a little over four minutes, the time to sing our National Anthem and the background score was the Anthem itself. The Anthem was played solely on instruments to suit the snow-filled visuals.

Now, the best part is, the whole crowd stood up in respect of the Anthem from its first till last note. Honestly, I’ve not expected this sort of reception to our Anthem in a theatre. I could see everyone standing in unison without even a single exception, an overwhelmingly welcome attitude towards the country. With elections round the corner both at the center and state level, this patriotism should induce one and all to put their right to vote to its rightful use.

The current campaigns of various organizations across the country to motivate Indian citizens to utilize their right to vote are also worth a special mention. Personally, I’ve never seen such a unanimous momentum among the country citizens to actively involve themselves in politics. The patriotic fervor shown in the theatre, if taken to be true across the country, along with the intense intention of realizing a corrupt-free working Government in the country hints at a fantastic future outlined for the country. I hope the fire ignited within each soul to ensure brighter days for the future wouldn’t fizzle out... JAI HIND!!!
