Nationalism vs Anti nationalism ....
It has been few days now, debates of nationalism and anti-nationalism are all over the media and other platforms. Even after all these discussions we still need to understand the real meaning of nationalism. Many people have their own opinions and definitions of nationalism and they entitled to have their own, no arguments on that. If somebody's opinion is not inline to ours , we can't say they are anti-nationals.
From few days , we are witnessing some debates on these issue.People are not only defining their thoughts on nationalism but they are calling other people anti-nationals if their opinion differs from others. Is this a good development ? should not we concerned about this ? Is it necessary that everybody should prove their patriotism and accepts any views of others. India is democratic country, each and everyone has their own thought process, we should learn to respect them instead of arguing and attacking them blindly.
Patriotism is not only sloganeering for India and against the others, its something else. How can someone accusing and abusing, beating innocents, harassing in the name of patriotism be nationalist. Taking law into our hands , leveling false allegations, disrespecting other people views, judging someone without evidence, labeling someone guilty even before court trail, behaving like goons can never be either patriots or responsible citizens traits. If someone is really guilty, the nation's law or concerned institution would take its own course. We should learn to respect this process. Instead if we over react to allegations based on unverified evidence , we will end up nowhere.
