Welcome

Welcome Readers,

Everyday, every moment we feel proud; proud to be an Indian, proud to be a part of this hollyland. No matter where we are and how we are, when it comes to our country, we all stand together.

India is the best. Our nation is far better than any other country and will be the next superpower in 10 years.

I hear these statements almost everyday either from a politician or from an actor and sometimes even from myself. We feel so proud when we say it, well let me ask you something, what do we feel proud of?

Take your time to think and then let me know atleast 5 good reasons, why you feel proud to be an Indian. When I asked the same question from myself, I came up with a pretty impressive list like most of you might have come up with.

After I came to America, it took me less than a month to find out and at-least 3 years to convince myself that we actually don’t have much to feel proud of. Even if we do, the list of reasons for getting
ashamed of being an Indian is far greater than list of being proud. I know its hard to believe for a true indian.You might be getting angry at me or may be thinking that I am one of those so called “Indian foreigners”, who goes to a foreign country and who starts to think and talk anti-Indian just to get fit into the western culture. People who laughs with others while talking about India, thinks that India is not good for living, there is no electricity and way too much corruption and poverty.

I am not saying you shouldn’t be angry at me for feeling ashamed of being an Indian. That shows the love for your country and I respect your hate towards me, which reflects your patriotism.

But if I admire your hate towards me, why did I change my attitude towards my country? why do I feel ashamed of being an Indian sometimes?If so, what’s the difference between me and those so called “Indian foreigners”.

As a matter of fact, there is a reason for this and definitely there is a clear difference between me and the “Indian foreigners”. The difference is the love, the belief and the honor that I have for my country, regardless of feeling ashamed of being a citizen of this country.

That’s why I am here and that’s why I created this page. I don’t want to be one of them who just complaints about corruption, terrorism, poverty and many other things( that if I start writing, this page will be out of space).However, when it comes to do something, we point at others and try to defend ourself by saying “why should I care, its not about me”.

No, I don’t want to be a part of them and I know neither do you. All we need is a little bit of strentgh and courage to build a new India, an India which you truely feel proud of.
