Independence Day - Young India Respect your National flag or Please don’t buy tricolour if you cannot handle it
Tricolour is not piece of colored paper it’s a symbol of national respect and pride. We kindly request to you all, please do not throw it in dustbins after 15th of August. Our national flag deserves a much better treatment. If we don’t respect it, who will?
According to us, showing our patriotism on a single day is not enough, keep it also for the remaining 364 days. Tricolor needs to be respected all the year round, every day and every moment.
Patriotism is not a ritual to practice on the Independence Day or Republic day or when India wins the cricket match. It is something that inspires us to take the initiative to change the things which we complain everyday and move forward. Patriotism is not just love for one’s country; it is loyalty for and devotion to the principles and values that is linked within the country.
Please don’t buy tricolour if you cannot handle it.
