Is good to be proud of our culture, but at the same time be realistic, so that next generation can learn from it. We should also highlights our weaknesses. Let me highlight some points. We are the only culture whose been ruled by foreigners for thousand years, first from invaders from Afghanistan and than by British. The reason is that we were so selfish and divided that we collaborated with our enemies and conspired to kill each other instead of helping each other. We are free since last sixty years and in last sixty years we have lost our land in the form of Bangladesh and Pakistan. Some of our land is grabbed by china because we don%u2019t want to fight. We use non violence against enemy because we are coward. We have coward leaders like mahatma Gandhi who we worship and strangely believes that we got freedom because of him. The truth is that we got freedom because of a foreigner, named Hitler. If there was no second WWII , we were still be ruled by British. History repeat itself and we Indian don%u2019t learn from that. We are so selfish if the bombs explode in our city we celebrate Diwali as long as our family members are ok. China and Pakistan eyeing our territory, but we still don%u2019t care as long as we are getting Roti , kapra aur makan. Like in the past we still expect others to do fight for us. When terrorist explode bombs in our city we go to USA and beg them to fight for us.

Worst of all we hide these bitter facts from our generation and always says that our culture is great in this world. We criticize USA for culture lets look at our culture. I don%u2019t want to go in details ,but in India we discriminate if north Indian goes in south or vice versa. In USA girls are safe unless they involved in mischief by themselves, but girls are no way safe in India and don%u2019t get justice at all. Jessica Lal is one example. In our culture we believe an honest person is eccentric, but In USA is Vice versa. In the end all I can say mere desh Mahan if what 100 mes sai 99 chor .

I am not trying to criticize Gandhi, but he was not practical. If two brothers wants to separate than let them separate completely . Now, because of Gandhi, we have Hindu Muslim problems , bomb blast , wars with Pakistan. Also, Muslim population is eating away Indian natural resources, India itself is short of natural resources. Politicians are using religion against religion. So is this was a practicality to keep Muslims in India. India is not a charity homeland where people from all walks come and settle in here, But, as far as our dear Gandhi kept all those Muslims in India, the result is almost 25 crore more people, but anyway he became world famous. The only people suffering are the native people. Sometime for the sake of country you have to be selfish.
