“It rests on all of us to protect the idea of India. First protect it, then participate in it, then share it”
Such powerful words. We don’t think of our shared responsibilities often enough. Each one of us is an ambassador of our country, both when we live here and travel outside.
Everything else is a weak second … religion, caste, language, state.
India first. India always.
And, as always the sikhs lead from the front. They have all my respect for being our border against everything. Those of us away from the borders haven’t had to face even an ounce of the battles the Sikhs have fought for our freedoms. We just don’t thank our Sikh friends enough.
The kiddo is on his Punjab school trip and I’m glad he is experiencing such sentiments from the very people who matter.
