India is a democracy

well this is a famous statement made by john kennedy.. n its applicable to the citizens of each n every country.. we hear people blaming the government and politicians for all the problems that v r facing today.. they point finger at the inefficiency and setbacks but wen it comes to actually doing something about it, hardly anyone steps forward. we should take the initiative to work for d betterment of our state or country as the country can develop only when d citizens and d government work together. Rights and duties of a citizen always go side by side.. well this is d basic idea behind this statement, u can expand it n explain it by citing some examples..
>> Remind people the joy of living in ones own country-talk about freedom, rights as a citizen etc.
Do not ask what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country

"We have to labor, and to work, and work hard, to give reality to our dreams. Those dreams are for the world, for all the nations and peoples are too closely knit together today for any one of them to imagine that it can live apart. Peace has been said to be indivisible; so is freedom, so is prosperity now, and so also is disaster in this One World that can no longer be split into isolated fragments." A true patriot should hate for wrong and love for truth. He does not sell his services for his country .He should love his country truly and selflessly. Patriotism dose not mean ill will for the citizen of other counties. For example, we can love our child without hating the child of our neighbor. If you have these qualities in yourself then you can say that you are a good citizen. Be responsible and be active. Don't do wrong with any person. Be practical. Do what you think is important to do. Don't forget that you are living with in a country where you are supposed to be an honorable citizen. They are facilitating you in many ways so you should be loyal to them in all regards. It is good to follow the regulations to bits.
