Our generation, which was born around the
freedom movement, much idealism , patriotism, the spirit of sacrifice, of
honour and integrity, has more than its share of emotions. Emotions were our
ammunition to deal with injustice and for a strike for independence from
colonialism.
We were also taught to give more than take.
We respected morality, ethics and principles. We were loyal to family, to
social ethics, to senior citizens and prided ourselves in being the way we
were.
Today, we are gradually beginning to
realise that these are the values to imbibe. Standing tall is in fashion,
thanks to our PM, who is as humane as he is a no nonsense Indian, proud and
self respecting not only on his behalf but on behalf of the nation. He exudes
an exemplary and inspiring persona. You want to emulate him.
It strikes a chord within my generation and
sparks a hope that we can salvage the traditional and cultural heritage that
keep our heads held high. Proud to be an Indian , especially from the earlier
generation.
