An inter class activity was conducted in the premises of Jagannath Institute of Management Sciences , Rohini, sector 3 campus named “Azadi ke hero” on September 14, 2014.
Patriotism is a selfless love one feels for his country. A country like India gave birth to many great heroes who have laid down their lives for their country. However these days it is observed that the youth is forgetting the sacrifices that these heroes made. Today’s generation shows patriotism only during cricket matches. Some would not know the names of even the most famous freedom fighters. It is important that in schools and colleges they are made to realize that the freedom they are enjoying today has come at the cost of the lives of our freedom fighters. It needs to be told to them how great their country is.
The youth of today is not really aware of the ideologies that are implications to the patriotic thinking of national interests and the spirit of nationalism. The Indian youth today is as patriotic as the older generation was. It wants the country to be on the top in every field. It has exposure to the global affairs and different cultures around. However, this modern youth is not very well connected with its past.
The patriotic club in JIMS works in this direction and ensures that the youth remembers those who fought for the nation and brought independence.
