Are You Proud To Be An Indian?

I watched a wonderful skit yesterday on the celebration of Republic Day of India.

The group emphasized the principles of Ghandiji:

Duty - duty towards the land and its people. One should always be ready to serve to in any form or capacity for the betterment of its society.

Truth - Ending corruption which is eating away at the heart and soul of a country. To strive to be truthful and to fight corruption for the betterment of the society.

Pride - Taking pride in who you are, where you came from and taking pride in ending poverty, educating each and every person and providing health care to all.

Sacrifice - Remembering and honouring the great leaders who fought to bring independence to the country. Being ever ready to sacrifice to protect the country when required.

Love - The one word that holds so much promise, to love each and every memeber who resides in India, regardless of religion, caste and colour. To work together in harmony to make India the best country in the 21st century.

Each of the principles ended by asking a question Are you Proud to be an Indian?

How many of us can live by this principle and say with pride Yes, I am proud to be an India?
