// Foolish concept of patriotism //

Foolishness’ is rather, I feel , strong offensive word. However we can use ‘Imaginery’ in place of foolishness. Let us call ‘Imaginery concept of patriotism’ appropriately.

We always need this kind of imaginery set up or arrangement to take care of our / our people’s life.

All rules and regulations are imaginery setup brought out from the past experience.

For example ‘marriage law’. It varies land to land. When men carried out forest life a kind of polygamy / irregular marital behaviours were there among men. In order to regularize marriage law formed : And still people found lot of violations. Marriage rituals were formed.

In the same way though before 1947 India was not one, scattered as land bits with its horizons, a constitution was built up to integrate and make mutually beneficial arrangement among people.

Though these setup and other slogans seems to be to eulogise patriotism it is an arrangement to protect ourselves and get the things distributed among people.

If this distribution is not equal then you can call the patriotism will have no meaning.

And here we have to point out that the sacrifices of few will make others to survive is derived through this patriotism and definitely it has meaning.

Let us believe this arrangement and try to strengthen this arrangement. Time is still there and no need to rush to end this concept and Instead of bashing out patriotism let us pour water in all ways to keep.

Corruption prevails from prehistoric period. A word ‘Kaiyootu’ which was used before prehistoric period.

In a historic film ‘ Schindlers’s List’ A germanian Schindler gives bribery to get man workers for his factory during second world war.

United States of America is not ruled out for this affair. They use ‘Whistle blower system’ to curb bribery and in this case they get success to certain extend only.

In this situation, only blaming & pointing out politicians becomes futile. Every nook and corner of India is having this bribery pollution.

To solve this vexed problem what do we have to do ?

We have to change the social pattern through propogations and have to have radical change in the constitutional set up.

Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru tried to implement Socialistic pattern which abolishes asset rights. When you abolish asset rights there is a chance of avoiding accumulation of unnecessary wealth and black money through power.

He could not make it due to other compulsions. Mrs. Indira Gandhi tried by implementing land sealing act which only could end in Binami lands.

Unless we emphasize and legetimise abolishtion of asset rights as followed in Russia and China We will be in great trouble due to corruption.

All other attempts will become futile.
