Abhindra Krishna KM

Patriotism or national pride is

the feeling of love, devotion, and
sense of attachment to a homeland
and alliance with other citizens who
share the same sentiments. .
As Indians, we are all citizens
of this great nation,whose history of
the freedom struggle andsuccessfully
becoming an independent free India
is one we must remember with pride.
Devotion and love towards our nation
embody the true spirit of patriotism. It
involves the sense of responsibility
towards our country, as its citizens
help it grow. A nation belongs to not
just one person, but all, and we must
work towards community good.
Patriotism inculcates the feeling of
pride and respecting the values of
our nation.
Many of our freedom
fighters dedicated their lives for
independence. Bhagat Singh,
Chandrashekar Azad, Rani Laxmi
Bai, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, and
Sukhdev are a few who sacrificed the
lives of their love for India. Our
freedom fighters mobilized people
from all over the country and lead
movements to win back our country’s
identity and freedom. Soldiers protect
the nation every day by putting their
lives on the line. They guard our
borders and fight for the dignity of our
country when called upon to do so.
The nation provides us with
a sense of identity. It is our moral
duty to respect our country and
support it as citizens. The feeling of
patriotism involves the common good
of any nation. This nation belongs to
all of us, and we must work towards
its growth and development. As we
come together, we can improve the
education system, health
infrastructure, and economic
development. Eradicating social evils
helps our nation grow. Corruption
goes against the meaning of
patriotism as it seeks to benefit a few
but causes worry for many.
Equality correlates to
patriotism. The right to equality is one
of the basic fundamental rights that
every Indian posse. Every person is
equal in the eyes of the nation,
irrespective of their religion, caste,
gender, etc. A true patriot recognizes
and treats fellow citizens equally. In
today’s world, where discrimination
and marginalization of communities
are widespread, promoting equality is
the need of the hour. As we remove
such bias, our nation develops in all
aspects.
