In 2009 summer I embarked on a 2 and a half month backpacking trip to Incredible India. I covered alot of ground across the beautiful and dynamic country, and the one thing that I couldn't help but notice was this extremely high level of pride and self worth Indians walked with, and this included the millions living below the poverty line from the slums. Indians are very dignified to be Indian and possess a sacred respect for the nation as a whole. It dawned on me that this has to be one of the fundamental reason of India's emerging success as a world superpower. I now understand that civic pride and ambition is an astronomical asset for the competitive identity and success for any nation. After all what is a nation, but the people. And India has alot of people that are smart, ambitious, industrious, and immensely hungry to see themselves but even more importantly, their own country prosper. I've seen a few of Bollywood movies with the theme of boosting the morale in the Indian people and also many hip music videos about Indian pride. Another thing I've recently discovered are a series of creative and compelling short videos of major Indian celebrities delivering powerful and motivating spiels to rise Indians to the occasion and rock on to show the world that they are a mighty force to reckon with. Keep it up India! Check them out for yourself below.
