Sometimes I
think about those things that makes my country different from others. Yes I am
talking about my country "INDIA". Life here is so unpredictable but
yet so lively , that makes it a nation of joy. People here are treated as the
high profile authority which makes or breaks the government by their
votes. Though by the end of elections
government always forgets about them for next 5 years. It's a nation of pride
for many people who belong to India but reside abroad. People here are less
bothered about streamlining of their own living habitats but they somehow find
it beautiful! Astonished to know how it happens? People here are bifurcated in
different categories: some people are omnists , some are polytheists and some
are atheists. Apart from all these bifurcations everyone lives in here with the
same integrity and pride. India has produced many big icons like Mahatama
Gandhi, Lata Mangeshkar, Amitabh Bachchan, Sachin Tendulkar, A R Rehman etc.
but the thing that comes in my mind is how these icons have become the icons of
the world? And the only answer I got is the love and affection of our country
people which has made them the real world icons. I live in such a country where
a person is treated as the God of cricket and where every Indian feels the same
tension when the Indian cricketers play against their arch rival Pakistan, on
the field. It's not only the nation of few things but all its things are
diversified into many. It's the second largest populated nation in the world,
it has more than 400 languages spoken in
different regions, fourth largest army and fifth largest economy in the world.
All these stats makes India a different and an unique nation. The culture and
the cuisine of India is well known all over the globe. It's the country of
various historic events and
architectural beauties, here we have the most beautiful heritage
"Taj Mahal" that was built in the loving memory of Mumtaz by
Shahjehan , the Mughal emperor. And today it is known as one of the seven
wonders of the world. Like taj mahal there are many other symbolic places that
have witnessed many changes in the history of India. Some of them are: Red
Fort, India Gate, Gateway of India, Qutub Minar, Humayun's Tomb etc. People here are very religious and belong to different castes and that's what makes them to
celebrate the most number of festivals than any other country in a year. The
young generation of my nation also shows great promise to move and built our
nation with their intelligence. Indians are considered to be as the most
referred individuals to be outsourced in various fields and in different
nations. We being a part of one of the countries that was once ruled by
Britisher's is now considered as world's most important nation. And this is not
the end note to describe my country's uniqueness. It has so many things to
describe about, but being an Indian is enough to show how we are different from
others.
