Nice thought. But who follows?
We willfully accept ourselves to be divided on Language, caste, political alliliation basis.
If you ever travel in Kerala unless you know Malayalam you are considered 2nd grade citizen.
If you go to North India you are treated like mince-meat. You hear comments like North Indians have Garam Koon etc.
In the eyes of a North Indian anybody who has darker skin than them is a Madaraasi.( the fact that all asians except Chinese ilks are considered as BROWNs in other parts of the world is a separate issue)
Marathis never accept anybody from any other region as equals.
Rivers in the country are not considered as Indian resources, but treated like personal property of the States in question.
Central governments watch helplessly as State governments fight over water and border issues(Belgaum, Cauvery etc)
Shanthi who won a silver medal in the Asian games was complained against as being a man and not a woman ( not by people from other countries but our brothers and sisters from the Northern part of India)
I have seen the personal experiences of Sportsmen from south when they go and compete against the Northerns in some parts of North India.
Do I need to give more examples to show how patriotic we are as Indians???
