What is defaming a nation..

Tweet

1. Spreading hands in front of others like beggars for money and technologies ...to feed the nation and provide employment to people even as some of our own citizens enjoy expensive foreign tours, expensive clothes, expensive cars, expensive house...in effective no self respect..Do we do that in personal lives? Would others give us loans and things, if we had enough, without cussing us? 2. Our citizens misbehave with others as well as our people..on flights. We set precedents like peeing on another passenger in flights. How unique can we get? How innovative? But that does not defame the nation. 3. Majority in the country tolerate torts and crimes, simply because it is too lengthy a road to justice here. Our leaders don't have time to attend to this, because they are busy cutting ribbons of inauguration functions or school functions where they are made to walk on the back of young kids by management. Oh but that is culture..or is it... 4. There are dowries ...and dowry deaths. But that does not defame the nation. 5. There are infanticides to save on dowries or get a male progeny to earn dowries. 6. Love marriages are dangerous .. because across the board it is deemed not so cultural a thing. Why...this sustains the dowry tag. You see, if there is wider selection, like in competition for a product...the person in community might not find suitable bride... 7. There are folks who settled in the US, and took girls from this nation for carrying on oldest trade of the world...the flesh trade...but that does not defame the nation. Because we take pride in highlighting Indian origin of those in NASA or the CEOs of NASDAQ companies. I could go on but the real reason I came here is ...for once I found that my thoughts agreed with Rahul Gandhi on one topic............ That is........ for survival of democracy, we have to ensure survival of opposition not go hammer and tongs at them else... we will have only ourselves to blame if we end up with the fate similar to Hitler's Germany. Arrogance increases manifold ... and we all know that it was not all science and progress...there were religious prejudices too that the Germans carried in that era of glory. I love all Indians, irrespective of their religion, caste, color, creed, gender, sexual preferences. So I hope our music and cuisine and exquisite chikankari (a type of embroidery), and bandhani sarees, survive whatever will be the outcome of what is going on.
