and please let me know where did everyones patriotism disappear when a late prime minister of our country was paired with amey date who is probably younger than her grandson and all everyone did was laugh.The mods did'nt take notice of it either even after it was reported.
I did'nt want to bring this up but so much talk of patriotism made me do it.
Well, I'm sorry but I cant see any relation between these two events....patritism is, I again say, a very definitive term and it should not be used in general terms....
and I also dont get what inferences you want us to make from comparing these two post.....but I respect your feeling and its really bad that such random topics create havocs sometime and leaves bad mark on us......
one thing that I want to add here is that many of Indians may not have respect for one or other politicians even when they are role model to millions...but that doesnt necessarily mean that those ppl hate their country !!!! there is distinct difference between loving/adoring or following political figures and loving to a NATION, even Mahatma Gandhi, whom we call 'father of nation', is not accepted by many millions of Indians...who simply dont believe in his theory - but that doesnt mean disregarding him. And thats the beauty of democracy - you may or maynot accept ppl who actually are rulling or are making mark on whole nation....
just mine two cents and as I said, I respect your feelings and every incident that causes distress to someone should not be ignored n should be treated with same yardstick......
here, people were talking abt something else.....more than these political figures.....concerning to a nation.....hope you understand what I mean to say...
take care
