Independent India should be Bharatvarsha where Bha or Self-knowledge is a passion. This should reflect in the life of every citizen.
When one lacks patriotism, one clings to alien cultures and standards. Long subjugation by foreign powers made Indians slaves of foreign norms and food habits. It is high time that everyone understands this and gears herself or himself to the task of character-building. Thus, India can restore herself and become a beacon light to other nations of the world staggering in ignorance and brutality.
