Sense Of Individualism In Indians

India is always known for its diverse  culture and unity in diversity, but now-a-days it seems like diversity still remains but unity is getting vanished. Diversity for sure will remain in Indian culture because its a country where at every another step language, lifestyle, culture, behavior, thinking, attire, etc., of the people changes but what about the unity...???

Earlier there was a time when Gandhiji started "Dandi March" against British in which every culture, religion, thinking, behavior came together and supported Gandhiji in his protest and result was that now we are free from the British rule, and that was only possible because there was unity among Indian people and there was no sense of individualism. Had people like Gandhiji , Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat singh would have thought of themselves, their security and comfort, still we would have been living under the British rule. At that time there was sense and feeling of nationality among people in India. There was a respect for the national anthem and national song, but today 80% people even don't remember their national anthem or song and rest of 20% remain confused whether that is national song or anthem.

While Anna Hazare's Anti Corruption Movement, the whole country was burning with him. Almost in every parts of India their Supporters were doing candle march and protests, specially in northern parts of India. In Delhi only on one call of Hazare all the people , even the working people came forward in his support. at that time it was anticipated that it would bring some changes and was a very good example of unity but very soon everything vanished, because people now-a-days are very impatient and changes takes its time to come into existence. For one or two days people stood up for the protest but again they decided to go with their own belief and thinking, that nothing is going to change so why should they waste their time? They are happy in their life with a good job, handsome salary, good lifestyle so thought better to stay away from all those matter.

Recently in Egypt, people's anger and unity led to huge change in the government and administration there. People were fed up of the government  there and all of them came across and the power of their unity forced the government there to be changed. If it could happen in Egypt them why not India, the answer is very simple, because people here are used to everything and everyone has a common thinking that why me..?? let others do first, then i'll come from back. And the same thinking of every people here never let them come forward.
