WOULD U LIKE TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY LIKE THIS???

India WAS a country known for its tradition, culture and harmony. we, Indians, were known for our self respect, our respect to the society, our ethics, our values etc...we were always put in the first place when came the point of "punctuality","discipline","sincerity" and what not??? everything. the way we got our freedom, the way we followed great leaders, the way we obeyed all the principles and values of our ancestors inspired the whole world. the rest of the world looked at India as a place where there is not only man power but also the knowledge and respect. there was a time when all the foreign goods were set to fire.

but, today is this the same place????
where is the culture and tradition?? where is the talent of the country working?? where is the respect and obedience to the society?? where is the matter of relationships?? today, when you ask a child about Bhagat Singh, he utters not a single word. because he just don't know. in the summer vacation, there are summer camps teaching the children the famous western dance "SALSA" but there is none of that sort for kuchipudi or bharatanatyam. today, we find mothers in the western attire and fathers with a different look but very few of them wearing the traditional Saree(women) and dhoti(men). we find the youth enjoying the late night parties but none of them interested in the get-together parties of their families.

SIMPLE EXAMPLE FROM THE RECENT PAST,
there were performers from Russia, London etc. during the opening ceremony of the First IPL matches in India. why doesn't the government encourage the arts and culture of our country??? the opening ceremony of the Olympics, 2008 at Beijing were a grand success and it was not because of the money they spent but for the way they organized it. every performance was the upliftment of the tradition and culture of china. even the official announcement of the games by the President was in Chinese Language and it was then translated into English.

SO,
wake up...!!! we are living in a country where there is no respect to the culture and tradition???is it that we all forgot the ethics ad values after we are free?? may be the freedom fighters wouldn't have struggled so hard if they knew that we will transform our country this way...!!! where there is no value for the society, no respect to the nation(except on Independence day or the Republic day) and what not...everything. WOULD YOU LIKE TO LIVE IN A COUNTRY LIKE THIS???
