So is watching tons of Hindi movies and hanging the Indian flag in one’s house an indication of one’s patriotism. Hmmm.. I don’t think so …

I’ve often seen that people tend to criticize today’s politicians, the corrupt processes, etc in India quite easily but i’ve never seen any of these people feel the need to help out and do anything themselves. We all talk about corruption but in my opinion we’ve all made our contributions to that system somewhere or the other.

Let me sight two very common examples:

1. If you get caught by a mamu (traffic inspector) in India … don’t many of you offer him chai-pani in the mumbai language .. what is that?

2. These days even to get into a mandir, i’ve seen people bribe someone or the other …

Basically, we are all in the food chain somewhere or the other, but do we admit it …. ha ha ..

So the next time you think about criticizing your country’s corrupt practices and processes … think about how you can contribute to correct that system and show your true patriotism.
