Whom to blame, we the people to blame. We handed over a great nation to an illiterate Italian woman (a 20 years naturalised citizen) to rule and plunder. We reached to such low that the word Bharat (our nation's name, since ancient times) is communal, India is secular; Sanskrit is communal, but English is secular and list goes on. We are bullied by day and night and we fall into traps. We have come out from that traps and rediscover our heritage and culture.

Rightly Said

We should be atleast in line with our Traditional Celebrations to keep our generations updated with our Culture and Customs, which only pave a way for healthier younger generation.

It is not teachers day dewar, today is guru poornima. There is lot of difference between a 'teacher' and a 'Guru'. First know the difference and then make comments. English does not give the correct meaning of Guru, that's why they included word 'Guru' to their dictionary!
