We, the Nation

Recently, the Indian Railways reported that about 21 lakh bedroll items worth over Rs 14 crore went missing from the AC coaches during 2017-18.

It seems they took the writing ‘Railways is your property’ a bit too seriously and conveniently forgot to read the ‘protect it’ part of the whole sentence!
The greatness of a nation is a public good; everyone likes to enjoy it but do not want to contribute towards it. Who would not want to have the honour of being a citizen of a strong and great nation? While we want to take pride that our country is better than others, at the same time, we leave the responsibility of making our nation great to others.
