Diverse Bharat

I recently saw an ad of Bajaj Discover. The theme of the ad is Discover India and they showcase lesser known places in India. Wow what a concept…!! It’s refreshing to know something different about India, apart from the usual failures in some major sports event (major?!?!), inefficiency at some construction projects or bad infrastructure. And the places shown in ad are really different. Well the places I found really interesting among them are: The magnetic Hill in Ladakh and the Bysanivaripalle in AP.

India is a country of huge diversity as seen from the site. Also India is a country of highly optimistic people. It’s very difficult to make an Indian understand a lost cause. This was evident to me from the news during the final match for India in Champions Trophy 2009. Even after knowing that our team had lost one match and drawn another out of their 3 matches in first round, the channels were busy in discovering the unimaginable circumstances under which our team could qualify for semis. This was all under the assumption that our friendly arch rival (:0) Pakistan defeat Aussies in their respective match. Under these circumstances it is no wonder that a statement made by Pakistan captain that he would like an India-Pak final became “Breaking news”. What optimism!! I surely salute the Indian positive approach.

And even with these all qualities we are quite humble. Even when a political leader expresses just his displeasure over the calling Mumbai as “Bombay” in a film (:0), the respective producer humbly (!!) apologizes. I too agree why to call Bom*** by its name…by the imported name (see I am not unnecessarily using the name). Even if it’s in some form of entertainment, it is surely not tolerable. I think it’s better if we start practicing to call our country as Bharat, in case in future someone feels that India too is imported and hence is not allowable. It would be lot easier to start habit now itself rather than apologize later! Now understood why diverse Bharat..!
