Pseudo Patriotism

The row about Narayan Murthy not playing the non worded national anthem and rather the instrumental version, and Sachin tendulakar cutting a tricolor cake has brought in the whole discussion about whose more patriotic. Who in the sane mind can believe that playing a non worded national anthem lowers the patriotism in you??? man.....i think patriotism is not not in words ....patriotism is always in your heart...its in your actions......saying does not make a person patriotic........All these corrupt politicians, if these people come in rallies and say they are patriotic and they love their country...but actually go back and do wide scale corruption and evoke communal tensions etc etc....now would you consider them patriotic in any way at all. Today the BJP leaders who have been charged with playing with communal passion distributing CDs may come out and say that they are patriotic and raise questions on a Murthy or a Tendulkar 's patriotism.....thats not done man....thats total hypocrisy.

I think a person is truly patriotic when he pays taxes on time.....when he donates to the society around him so people around him,his community can grow .....I think the army guys are patriotic coz they are risking their lives for people whom they don't even know..all in the name of motherland.

Saying is not enough ....actions have to speak rather than the words......Anyone who accuses of Narayan Murthy to be non patriotic should go back and see what he's done for the community around. Has he created good jobs for the youth in the country ....has he done anything for the environment or the society around him.....acts such as the above will make someone patriotic and not just singing the anthem in the right spirit.

india is a strange country of strange people, 95% of them are completely lost or confused including me.
first comes our own life thn family n frnds thn city n so on at last the country...so most of us are not patriotic as such//

In my honest point of view, even these army guys are not patriotic in those true ways..
if given a choice they would land up somewhere else..
india is a country of very large population n unemployment, most of them just grab wtever easy n accesible comes to them. most of army guys land up there just coz thy found tht early n easy where it was a fight to survive for others..
last is guys like Murthy just make lots of money respect n status so they think they can talk n say about any damn thing .. he gives the opinions about chapple so openly...

Really nice post here it shows how cynical people are in India,they simple bash the politicians and say they are all crap and get away with the situation.
I think the politicians are much better than the ordinary citizens of our country.Some people who run away to USA after getting all rebate on education comment like India is a shit country with all problems once they go abroad.
Some of my own cousins who have ran away abroad saying tata to India now cannot even locate India on world map let alone do something for it.
So no point in blaming the politicians,dnt ask for change if you have the guts become the change that India needs.
Such people who comment about India needs to that ,politicians are crap can simply be called ''PAGE 3'' dudes.
