1. India is absolute example of a symbiotic system. Here a motorist, without a helmet, is always concerned for the evening tea of the traffic cop and the cop, in return, shows full sympathy for him by not going for the harsh constitutional comeuppance. In India, there's always an 'under the table' way to easily get an abstruse-looking matter resolved and this forms the basis of a strong 'mutual' relationship between two groups of the society. 'Corruption' is an extremely derogatory and brazen word to describe this wonderful and unique system. Abhishek Bachchan rightly says in Delhi-6 : "India works !"
2. India scores very high on the equality charts. One may find the most qualified prime minister leading a government having some utterly categorical ministers. It sometimes becomes hard to imagine what would be happening at cabinet meetings where people with IQs ranging from 10 to 150 sit and discuss about the country's future. There's another aspect of this 'equal-opportunities' policy of India where in a typical college classroom, you can find a boy with an All India Rank(AIR) of 1000 in the entrance exam sharing his bench with a guy having an AIR of 100000. (You can put more zeroes in the second figure while removing a few from the first one and still the validity of the statement reamins undisputed !) The only thing that made this happen being the injustice and loathing faced by the fore-fore-fore-fore-fore-fathers of the second guy !! Now that really makes sense. So start doing those deeds today which make you loathesome and untouchable if you want a bright future of your great-great-great-grandsons !(And yes, dont forget to pay homage to an ex-prime minister who, unfortunately, found more revellers than mourners upon his death a few months ago.)
3. Mercy, clemency and absolution are the 'taglines' to categorise India. Our governments are bulwarks of human rights. And when that human is a terrorist, we are even more concerned. If someone is responsible for an attack on the heart of democracy and gets the capital punishment for it by the climactic institution of law, our government acts and delays the execution indefinitely, but if a self-proclaimed patriot takes up a gun and shoots down a person, who he believes is not good for nation, then no mercy is shown to him and he is hanged without any delay. Now observe the strking differences in these cases. The first guy is a person whose family(or maybe community) members were killed in some sort of violence somehwhere in the country. So his retaliation is justified. After all he is a human and human rights are meant for humans only ! The second guy was a traitor. He killed a Demi-God personality. He hurt the sentiments of his contemporary compatriots. He deserved to die as he had violated the 'all-hail-the-great-G' rule of his time. Talking of today, we have a very special foreigner guest in one of our high-security Mumbai jails. He has just avenged the killing of his brothers and sisters by gunning down a few hundred people. That's not a big deal and he deserves a 'fair' trial. Even if he gets death sentence, our most merciful, most humane Government of India is there to delay his execution and bear the expenses of this foreign envoy's comfortable stay in 'The Incredible India'. After-all, 'atithi devo bhavah' ! And who knows soon there will be another Kandahar and another 'Grand Show of Mercy' will flash India's G-principles to the world !!
4. Our economy is booming. People are getting richer. Cell-phones, LCD TVs, Cars, Air-travel everything is now accesible to the middle-class. Even the petrol is not that expensive now. The inflation rate has gone into an abyss. Forget about the ever-increasing prices of grains, milk and other various essential consumer goods. As far as the middle-class is able to afford it, there's no issue regarding this. The below poverty line(BPL) population anyways never thinks about such issues as people of this stratum are always content with the fact that the incumbent MP or MLA belongs to their cast or community. Thats what election and democracy is all about for them. The conclusion : everyone's happy in his/her own way.
Those who still believe in the saying 'Mera Bharat Mahaan' after reading these four points, I'm afraid to apprise them that they are not at all patriots. They are just chauvinists with dark shades of self-love on their eyes.
I suggest the saying for the real patriots : 'Mera Bharat Bane Mahaan'. And ofcourse there's no expiry date for this statement because neither anything in this universe is perfect nor can be.
