Many of us feel helpless with the state of our country.
We feel we cannot do anything and even if we did, how will it matter as others are not doing anything!
Actually, each of us has great power - the power of freedom, speech, religion... the power of being an Indian.
We can do the following 10 things for our India:
🔊 1. STOP COMPLAINING & FIND SOLUTIONS
Remember that a country is as good as its citizens. If WE have a problem, WE must find a solution. Don't add to the problem. Be positive.
🔊 2. BE PROUD OF INDIA & FOR BEING AN INDIAN
It's said in Sanskrit- "Janani Janmabhoomishcha Swargatapi Gareeyashi".
It means- 'Mother & Motherland are greater than even heaven.'
If we all are proud of our identity and work hard to keep our India's flag flying high, India will win.
🔊 3. SUPPORT 'MAKE IN INDIA' & 'MADE IN INDIA' & BUY & USE INDIAN GOODS
Let's all support & say- 'Dil Chahiye (Heart desires) that's Made In India'.
Let's celebrate a totally Indian Diwali this time with traditional lamps that will benefit our artisans.
Let's not buy or use any foreign (viz Made In China) fireworks or crackers.
🔊 4. HONOUR OUR FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS
"With great freedom, there's great responsibility".
🔊 5. FOLLOW OUR FUNDAMENTAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES VERY SERIOUSLY
Respect everyone, Vote For India, Do not Disfigure Monuments, Take care of public property, Don't write on Currency notes....
🔊 6. MAINTAIN SANITATION & HYGIENE & SWACHH BHARAT
Don't throw garbage on the roads/streets, No Spitting on roads or walls, Care for the Environment, Plant at least 1 tree...
🔊 7. FOLLOW RULES
Many rules are already in place. If WE all follow sincerely them, our country will be a better place to live. For example, we all take care of traffic rules, accidents and jams can be avoided. If we give way to ambulance, a patient's life can be saved.
🔊 8. USE RESOURCES WITH CARE
Save water and electricity. Use pool-cars & public transport.
🔊 9. INCULCATE PRIDE & GOOD BEHAVIOUR FROM THE WOMB
We can create an India where every child is aware and cares for all the above. Today's children are tomorrow's adults. A nation that respects everyone in turn will earn respect & will attract more tourists too.
🔊 10. UPHOLD DIGNITY, JUSTICE, & KEEP NATIONAL SECRETS
Don't abuse and insult others and spread rumours.
Don't post 'Selfies' (with tanks etc) or updates that can give away our secrets.
Don't demand 'proof' about high intelligence actions viz. surgical strikes.
Be an upstander & stand up for our country.
Let us be responsible and not allow/support anyone to do anything irresponsible.
Let us all share with our family and friends and reach every citizen of India.
📣 CHANGE BEGINS WITH YOU & ME.
If WE change, then so will our country.
If we want a better India, WE must follow these in our everyday life. Also, encourage everyone to do so.

"Stop complaining" is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteGood prompt Anita, and a good list of ten Dos in the post.
Nice post! We should inculcate all these rules for behtarlife.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing to do something positive. These are things we must do as an Indian
ReplyDeleteThe ten commandments are really the need of the hour and probably we could add One nation, one law i.e. uniform civil code to this list for a more secular India.
ReplyDeleteWell written . First point is very clear as most of us always complaint while we can have solution.
ReplyDeleteWell thought and well presented, Anita:)
ReplyDeleteI agree with it all:):)
Well said Anita. We have to become the change we desire and stop complaining. A beautiful post filled with optimism snd proactivity!
ReplyDeleteIndeed a powerful post that every Indian must read and abide by! I agree to all, very thought-provoking! :')
ReplyDeleteIts been a while. Hope you still remember me. I am Asep from Indonesia. You have written some nice comments at my blog on January 7th, 2014. How I miss you so much Anita. I am here again for you with all my love.
ReplyDeleteI have read all this posting, and I really appreciate any efforts you can do for your country
Nicely articulated Anita! I actually want to slap people who are not proud to be an Indian and yet they are feeding on our nation's resources. I don't understand how people can embrace this level of stupidity!
ReplyDeleteLoved the last message - Change begins with you and me!
Hey Anita, nice initiative , I hope it will help peoples to understand their responsibility for country, try to improve our India instead of making complaints.
ReplyDeleteCrisp and in the face...i was blown over by the first point...I end up almost picking up and argument with people who want to crib and do nothing for India :) great read soul-sis :)
ReplyDeletehttp://www.sunshineandzephyr.com/2016/10/meeting-fiction-concluding-part/

ReplyDeleteeven if we do JUST one of these ... india will be such a lovely place again.. for sure ...
ReplyDeleteBikram's
I follow a few of them already, few I have to improve upon!
ReplyDeleteGreat list, we should be Proud Indians!
Superb, Anita! You have aptly said that everybody may not get chance to big things. But, in fact, these simple steps are great deeds that need to be achieved being united not individually!
ReplyDeleteTC, keep smiling :)
Great thoughts to make India better. I always make sure I buy Indian goods and this time I am avoiding Chinese stuffs. Be Indian, Buy Indian.
