Patriotism

IN MY OPINIAN A LOVE FOR THE COUNTRY A FEELING OF SACRIFICE FOR THE COUNTRY IS MUST IMPORTANT FOR THE TOTAL SOCIAL,ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA. SO TO SECURE THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY PATRIODISM IS MUST IMPORTANT BECAUSE NO WILL COME TO SEE US WHEN WE WILL BE IN THREAT. BECAUSE OF UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD ONLY THE YOUTH OF OUR COUNTRY IS NOT OBEYING THEIR CULTURE AND BECAUSE OF THIS ONLY OUR COUNTRY HAD TO FACE THE IMPRISONMENT OF 200 YEARS.

The inhabitants of the other spots reason in like manner, of course, with the result that, from early infancy, the mind of the child is poisoned with blood-curdling stories about the Germans, the French, the Italians, Russians, etc. When the child has reached manhood, he is thoroughly saturated with the belief that he is chosen by the Lord himself to defend His country against the attack or invasion of any foreigner. It is for that purpose that we are clamoring for a greater army and navy, more battleships and ammunition. It is for that purpose that America has within a short time spent four hundred million dollars. Just think of it--four hundred million dollars taken from the produce of the people. For surely it is not the rich who contribute to patriotism. They are cosmopolitans, perfectly at home in every land. We in America know well the truth of this. Are not our rich Americans Frenchmen in France, Germans in Germany, or Englishmen in England? And do they not squander with cosmopolitan grace fortunes coined by American factory children and cotton slaves?
