The superlative India-"Largest Democracy" 

Today we are just a day away from a day which could mark the beginning of a change in India. A change that India cant afford to dodge anymore if it has to become a real Superpower. India’s recognition at the world stage is nothing to doubt for. Today the world hardly talks serious without India. Nations across the globe very seldom plan their strategies without keeping in view its effects on relationship with India. So you can simply say that the world has seen and recognized the changing India.
              But the saddest part lies in the fact that there still lies a world inside India which has been perennially deprived to feel the changing India of which they are inseparable part of. We have landed in 66th year of India’s independence, saw variety of positive and negative changes during this period. Governments form, run or ruin the nation and go just to give a chance to the next political party standing in the line to run or ruin the nation. And the children are taught in very bold letters in their civics book that India is the largest democracy in the world. Is it?
                The answer lies in this short story for you- a villager rooted a banyan tree so that when it will become large it will protect them from sun in scorching summer. The tree grown up to be the largest in the village and suddenly dried for some reasons and remained a structure with no leaves on it. Hence it becomes a useless tree for the villagers as it was not benefitting them in any manner even though it was the largest tree in the village.
                The state of Indian democracy is no different. It is the same as of that banyan tree which is despite being the largest remains useless.

The first of anything is always dedicated to what you love the most. So i dedicate this post to my country, the only thing that i pray for. By loving my nation or say by practicing this deshbhakti i come to know that how people get themselves so involved in the prayers and kind of rituals. It really gives a completely different sense of satisfaction. But 'log puchhte hain'(people asks) that 'isme karna kya hota hai(what all need to be done in this)'? "Is it easier than practicing prayers to god? What all rituals are involved in this bhakti? And most importantly they ask that- "Is it as as effective as praying to god".
Huuh, the first two are having real-time answers but the last one is really so difficult to differentiate as both aims the same but with different ways. The only thing that is important to understand is that any kind of bhakti  should aim at prosperity of others and not self. For me deshbhakti is quite easy to practice like doing your job with honesty, enjoying the life with responsibility, helping others whole-heartedly, and most importantly having a dream for your country. What the nation is facing today is severe lack of this bhakti. No one talks about this anytime other than on the 3 national holidays, no school teach to practice this bhakti in real sense other than conducting programmes on those 3 days in a year, no government organisation reflects their sense of serving the nation which is probably their first priority.
In true sense Indians are at present inspite of being selfless have been lashed with self. When everywhere-presence of  God is unquestionable they why to rush to selected locations to find him? when he gave us this beautiful world to live why to ask for more? Hence i decided to practice deshbhakti inspite of ishwarbhakti. I know what the God expects from me which i am giving to him and i am not waiting for a favour from God bcoz it is assured by now and then to everyone on this plannet...............Jai Hind!
