Nationalism: Choice or Reason
Kumar Avinash
India is a country of diversity where we see unity in
diversity where people have emotions with the nation from their perspective.
The socio, economic, and cultural practices across the nation varied from place
to place so regional disparity also exists in the nation along with unity. The
regional disparity in the economic sense is also varied as we have taken the
parameter of the standard of living and socio-economic condition. As we compare
the states across the nation we have shown that some states are well off and have
a better standard of living and some states are worse off and low standard of
living in the relative terms. This disparity somehow I try to interlinked with
nationalism and this is my personal opinion regardless to hurt any sentiments
of people of the nation. To serve the nation is the pride for all the citizens
of the country. The defense services have a different domain and different
category of individual who serve the nation but here I am only discussing the
defense jobs which are at the beginning level. The citizens who join the hands
of the defense services at the beginning level always raises a question in my
mind that Is it choice to join this service? Or Is there is a reason behind? Yeah,
it is true joining these services by Choice, to serve the nation is a dream and
passion for the individuals who join the hand of these services at the beginning
level but along with this many individuals who join the hand of defense with a
reason apart from serving the nation. The socio-economic condition of the individual
who joined the service with the reason is not worthy. Most of the defense services
at the beginning level of entry have eligibility onwards class 10th
and the individual belonging from this section who join the hand of defense
almost with a reason focus on this defense jobs and enter in the service, so they
are doing their best effort to enter in the services and their determination
make them into result. I have come across many citizens in my life who is
serving the nation some of them are told me that they join this service by
their Choice and most of them are told me that they also want to continue their
further study but their circumstance is the reason to join this service. So it is
quite easy to enter in these services and curb their financial burden and carry
a tag of government jobs at this stage with this minimum education is required
and offer a good salary with many other facilities. Therefore we can say that
the people who joined for the Reason also serve the nation and the people who
joined by Choice also serve the nation. So nationalism by Choice or by Reason
both serve the nation, so in the same way the individual who is not raising the
slogan “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” is not anti-national or not respect their nation. They
also respect their nation but the notion of respect is different. Therefore
according to me; Nationalism is all about how you relate the things according
to your situation and there is no parameter of nationalism, We the People of
India is enough for the Nationalism. Therefore we conclude that “Diversity” leads
to anything” but India is a country of “Unity of Diversity”.
Nice presentation of thoughts with balanced approach. 👌👌👌
