Patriotism

Love of one's country and willingness to defend it is known as patriotism. A patriot is a person who loves his country so intensely that he is willing to die for it. But love of the motherland should not mean hatred of other countries. It is a positive and creative virtue because it makes one always think of the good of one's own country. Readiness to die if necessary, in defence of one's country; working for its advancement and redressing its shortcomings are indicative of patriotism. But, if we are fanatic and blind to our national defect, patriotism will become a danger. Parochial patriotism results in ultra-nationalism that was responsible for many a sanguinary war in the past. But true patriotism is divine and praise worthy. A true patriot is revered by his fellow country men. There goes a proverb that 'It is sweet and beautiful to die for one's own country.' Mere lipservice to one's country is not patriotism rather it must be supported by actual work for country's advancement and prosperity.
