Who is the real Indian?

Pride! (Clicked around 9 am,Republic Day,2011)

The teenager(among million others) who celebrated Republic Day(on Facebook)?Or the father who carried his 5 year old kid on his shoulders to India Gate at 4 am, just so he could watch the annual parade?

The marketing executive who thought that 'something related to deshbhakti' could make for a good ad-campaign this season? Or the soldier who didn't think twice before laying his life on the border?

The corporate mogul who donated a medical equipment worth 'few lacs', so he could safely gulp 'few lacs-of crores' in the nation's worst scam? Or the middle-class clerk who didn't mind spending a few extra bucks to get a bill for all his purchases, just so his nation benefited?

The famous politician son-of-a-politician who visited tribal areas, ate the poor's ration and did a one-night stand sorta thing with them? Or the social activist who gave up PhD in Metallurgy to become the voice of the struggle of Bhopal?

The one who put religion over national integrity and fought for a piece of land? Or the who read, watched and heard about it all, and realized it wasn't worth it in the end?

The country can fight terror. But how will it fight the indifference of its citizens?

The country can build weapons. But how will it raise martyrs?

1.2 billion People. And only these 7 kids wave the tricolour with true pride!
