In the past, when the month of August began, the patriotism could be seen racing in the veins of the nation. Everyone was found busy in doing such activities as showed their affection for their sweet motherland. Sweet melodies of the patriotic songs enriched the soul with true love. The flying flag shows the symbol of the national strength. This was the period when our nation was united.
Unfortunately, these days our nation is showing some of these responses but they are not from the bottom of their hearts. The fake patriotism is losing its shinning. The hearts full of suspicions are losing the love and value of the nation. Our unity is restricted to the day of 14th of August just for the show. The disrespect and hatred has demolished our moral values. The artificiality of the so-called unity has destroyed the country’s reputation.
The cause of this horrible situation is regional differences which are not solved or even tried to solve on the political and national level. The interpretation of the dream of unity has changed to the reality of havoc. Every person tries to express the value of his regional language. Instead of promoting the national issues we are still stuck to the regional disputes.
The nation must adopt a sensible approach and forget all the differences. They should start to consider the national benefits instead of personal benefits. The roots of corruption must be cut off to promote justice.
