There is so much for the people of India to be proud of. It has ancient
civilization, rich culture, spiritual wisdom, unique diversity of people
religion & language, beautiful places, geographical completeness, rich
natural resources, brilliant minds and so on. But it is shameful that inspite
of such positives, the people of India have not achieved the internal and
external status that they should have. This has nothing to do with economy or
wealth of country or individuals, the main element that we need to improve is
self respect and dignity. The country and the people are unfortunately
suffering from impotency of conduct.
This self respect and dignity is reflected in the way we think, feel, speak and act. We should never forget that every citizen is a unit of the country be it common man on street, homemakers, students, politicians, bureaucrats, police, defense personals, lawyers & judges, journalists, social workers, doctors, business persons, shopkeepers, artists, teachers, etc. The way we maintain self respect & dignity and conduct our self leads to status of individuals and country as a whole. Today this is lacking. The kind of conduct we see everyday from people of all walks of life and even institutions is childish, chaotic and abhorable. Either we see hyper arrogant words and acts putting down fellow citizens, mindless or narrow minded selfish deeds or we see lack of appropriate behavior. These both, act of commission and act of omission leads to loss of self respect and dignity. This can not be termed as making of a great country.
Why this has happened. The reasons are many :
No country is good or great due to its economy or wealth. It is the human
wealth which makes a country great. If we do not have self respect &
dignity expressed in terms of wisdom, courage, integrity and disciplined
purposeful behavior, we can not be termed as good citizens of India. We all
need to shed slave mentality & create self worth through self respect &
dignity to make modern glorified India.
Sleep no further. Rise high and be No 1.

Why this has happened. The reasons are many :
1.
We lack sense of responsibility towards society and
country.
2.
We lack self discipline.
3.
We lack vision and mission as individuals and as
country.
4.
We tolerate intolerable and react stupidly to tolerable.
5.
We do not realize our potential.
6.
We easily become power & position arrogant.
7.
We do not realize that small wrongs done get multiplied
and destroy society & country.
Sleep no further. Rise high and be No 1.
