RESOLVE TO BE A TRUE PATRIOT

Patriotism is a great virtue which all human beings need to possess. It is, in fact, an intense feeling of attachment, loyalty, love and devotion for one’s country. Patriotism consists of having a special affection towards one’s country and sacrificing for the sake of its welfare.

One who has genuine love for one’s country remains deeply concerned about its welfare and tries to do everything possible to make it a better place. Such a person is always willing to put the interest of one’s country before his/her interest.

During times of war or any other calamity which strikes a country, the people of that country are all the more moved by strong patriotic feelings. A powerful and developed nation can be built only by citizens who have great love for their nation.

It is natural that we feel proud of calling our country our motherland. When we live with deep awareness that all of us citizens of this great nation have an unbreakable bond of relationship, we cherish a vibrant sense of togetherness, brotherhood, love, peace, and harmony. As we celebrate the Independence Day of our country on 15 August and remember with gratitude all those great patriots of our country who sacrificed their life for the nation , let’s also resolve to be true patriots.
