5.............1..............3......................2...............whats the next no. in this sequence?
" People from coastal andhra are pure rowdies", say telangana people," and "Rayalseema people are factionists." These statements wondered me for 15 years. In school, I have taken pledge several times that India is my nation and all Indians are my brothers and sisters. Of course, I used to avoid the word sisters as it didn't carry for a few beautiful girls in my class and school at that time. I heard even people describing Telangana inhabitants as Naxals
I understood the depth of my nation in the last five years.I am being exposed to various cultures of this land and enjoyed my most of the time with oriyas,punjabis,bengalis etc., but it wonders me that why I am still unable to call them Indians. It hurts me when some one rates me according to my state.Andhra pradesh is a great state in the eyes of eastern indians and a mediocre state in the eyes of other states of south India, but no one considered them as Indians sharing the land with them
When some one call me South Indian,I feel proud as Indian but I feel bad as an adjective preludes my exact identity. I can understand the difficulty this nation faces with thousand of languages and dialects and I really understand the cultural differences we have but despite of all these difference, I firmly believe this nation can be 1.
A nation will be great not because of its cultures and traditions but because of its people and their knowledge. A good education system should impart multiculturalism but not multistatism(wow what a worst terming it is) but I find many of the institutions in India encourage multistatism only .
In my own home, I hear people criticizing other castes and praising our caste as all gods rest in our caste only and making the younger generation cast-driven or say madness-driven.After all this nation is of youngsters and by 2020, everything will be in the hands of youngsters and Why these old people spoil/poison our brains with this caste,creed,region,religion differences.?
Chetan Bhagat's new book 2 states is in stores now.First book 5 point someone,second one is 1 night at the call centre,then 3 mistakes of my life, now 2 states...this is the number sequence I was referring too.The book is not too good in its humour/ anything but the subject that this nation should not have these many partitions especially the people shouldn't have this many partitions in their heart at-least. At least the next generation should answer"INDIA" , when they have been questioned about their identity
