Nationalized or Localized

The Origin
We often see a lot of fights on language spoken/place of origin etc. what is our place of origin, what is our language. If we are going to do a soul searching, we will find that we are migrants from central Asia with one language which is Sanskrit. Which then got influenced by a lot of languages/cultures from across the world.

The Localized
When are we going to raise above all these petty things. Please go through the links below.

The Nationalized
We have a big crisis in Bihar, we have a big fight going on in Kashmir. As Indians we have to raise above our local expectations and stand for a good cause. A lot of states are in fact paying a lot of funds for a good cause(read Bihar crisis). Which is good, but we need this from each and every individual/institutions/states. What ever we do is miniscule.
Recently we have seen lots of endorsements from lots of states to the lone gold medal winner (read Abhinav Bindra). Which is quite encouraging, hope we encourage good things and stand up for a good cause going forward. We have to be forward looking and not backward looking.
