As all of you have very rightly emphasized the importance of it in our life but our rulers since Independence have been trying their worst to banish it from our national life!
That's true! There are hardly any statesmen left like Sardar Patel, Lokmanya Tilak, Morarji Desai etc. who were so disciplined! But why be pessimistic when we have so many other disciplined role models like Ratan Tata, Narayana Murthy, ex-President Abdul Kalam etc. They embody everything that is needed in order to become a responsible citizen. We can always look up to them and learn from them!
But in a vast country like India, the number of torch bearers and pathfinders are far far less. In the same breath i would ask why we are far behind those small countries like Ethiopia in winning gold medals in Olympics?
Sir, we should always be hopeful. In Rio, we will get Gold Medals.
There should also be a positive frame of mind. I feel that when we are negative, then our actions are not executed perfectly, even if we are working hard.
