All over the world, very strangely, every one thinks that his country is the best and the most beautiful. And that his country produced the greatest ones, finest people and the bravest soldiers. For the English, their England is the greatest nation. Frenchmen think that France is just incomparable. Similarly, the Germans and the Japanese think no end of their countries. Indians also think that India has the most glorious cultural heritage and the brightest future. In reality it is all self conceited patriotism and pitiable delusion. No country has everything good or the best. Every country has some good aspects and some bad. That is a universal reality. There are mostly gray areas and black or white account for very little.
We must meet reality in the face. Our glorious heritage or cultural riches should not make us close our eyes to the stark realities of poverty, hunger, ignorance, illiteracy, blindfaiths, social evils, casteism and communalism. We must retain what is good and give up the bad. The positives of other countries need to be adopted without hesitation to emerge as a good nation in real terms.
