Today I am reminded of this I read long time back (Who else can write it-It has to be Khalil Gibran if I have to remember)
"Humans are divided into different clans and tribes, and belong to countries and towns. But I find myself a stranger to all communities and belong to no settlement. The universe is my country and the human family is my tribe.
I love my native village with some of my love for my country; and I love my country with part of my love for the earth, all of which is my country; and I love the earth will all of myself because it is the haven of humanity, the manifest spirit of God.
I sing the praise of my birthplace and long to see the home of my children; but if the people in that home refused to shelter and feed the needy wayfarer, I would convert my praise into anger and my longing to forgetfulness".KHALIL GIBRAN

Do not call me unpatriotic .I believe in India where there is not caste creed discrimination,no parochialism,inclusive growth and secular and democratic- not the sham democracy we have today.
