SHEFALI ARORA- FOR

Mark Twain said,”India is the cradle of human race,

                          the birthplace of human speech,

                          The mother of history,

                          The grandmother of legend,

                          And the great grandmother of tradition.”

A hello to my friends out there. I am for the topic that we are proud of India.

The unity in Diversity is the main reason of being proud to be an Indian.We have different languages, different cultures,foods, clothes and traditions still we are united and stand firm on our ground despite repeated efforts by the outsiders to divide us.There was a time when India was being invaded by a host of foreign conquerors,ruled by them, but still India fought back bravely and has today reached where it is.

The efforts of our great leaders,like Mahatma Gandhi,Bhagat Singh,Lokmanya Tilak etc. at the time of British rule makes me proud of my country.They showed  incredible courage and wisdom to save our country from the Britishers and taught us the most valuable lesson of brotherhood and harmony. Their wisdom and leadership qualities made us win in the long run for freedom.India has gone through a lot,but faced every hurdle bravely. India got her independence through non-violent means,and is even today trying to keep up this valuable tradition. It has always criticised and stood up against unjust attacks throughout the world.

Our nonviolence,democracy,intelligence based on our high standards of education are the other points that make us proud of our India.

We have devotion, culture ,and humanity which strengthens us. Great people like Lord Rama.Lord Krishna,Swami Vivekanand took birth here, and made our country proud by the spiritual  power they gave to us.The Ramayana,Mahabharata,Bhagwada Gita are indeed some precious books that our generations will continue to read and feel the same. 

India is the country which is full of diversity in its physical features too. And the cultural diversity is impeccable. The large variety of classical arts,embroidery work,folk dances are found in no other country of the world. It is India where people of all the religions are living together in peace and harmony, bonded in a golden thread.

India has proved itself in all fields..be it technical,medical etc. Rakesh Sharma was the first Indian to go into space followed by Kalpana Chawla and Sunita Williams. Sportsmen like Sachin Tendulkar,Abhinav Bindra, Viswanathan Anand,Leander Paes have left a mark in their respective fields.   Indira Nooyi is the highest ranking Indian woman in the corporate world in America. Who can forget Kiran Bedi? Not only this, Sushmita Sen and Aishwarya Rai have excelled in the world of glamour and made India proud.The list is just endless. India is the hub now for medical tourism ,with people across the globe coming to get the medical treatment here. So I do not find any field in which India has not excelled.

And then the players who have outshined others in the ongoing commonwealth games. So much criticism was faced by India before the games by the media..but then India gave us a reason to be proud of it once again..the Australian prime minister has remarked that India is even ready for the next Olympics. Makes me feel so proud to be a part of this magnificent country.

India is the place where values are given utmost importance . The family orientation,the respect of traditional values, the feeling of oneness makes India different from all the other countries in the world.

India has given a platform to the best of the people in the entire world. It is Indians who are dominating the world today. Women of India have proved themselves in every field today.

According to a latest survey in Germany,

                           38% of Doctors in America are Indians.

                            12% of Scientists in America are Indians.

                            36% of NASA employees are Indians.

                            34% of MICROSOFT employees are Indians.

                            28% of IBM employees are Indians.

                            17% of INTEL employees are Indians.

                            13% of XEROX employees are Indians

I am reminded of the great song- ‘Saare Jahaan Se Acha Hindustan Hamara. Hum Bulbule Hain Iski,Ye Gulistan Hamara’

Yes, everything about my country makes me proud of it..I AM PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN.

ADITI AGGARWAL-FOR

A very warm good morning to all my friends, and my respected opponents. The topic for today’s debate is “WE ARE INDIANS- ARE WE PROUD OF INDIA?” , and here I am presenting a bit in the favour  of the topic.

India, Incredible India! These two words make us feel proud for being an Indian. India is the only country all over the world which is popularly known as INCREDIBLE. Every Indian should feel proud of India.

India is considered as one of the best tourist place all over the world with hundred’s of beautiful monuments like Taj Mahal, Red Fort, Ajanta Caves, Humayun Tomb, etc. Tourist from all over the world come and praise India for its unique beauty. Their praise for our people and country make us feel proud.

How can we forget the amazing opening of commonwealth games which is a great proof of India’s dignity and wonderful soul of its people. All world is applausing India’s effort. The sportspersons participating in these games are really excited and feeling themselves lucky for being a part of such an event in such a wonderful country.

 The past discoveries of India like as introducing zero and decimal system in the field of mathematics proves to be the most significant one. Ayurvedic medicinal and yoga were introduced by India to the world. Ayurvedic medicines are known for its treatment for almost every disease.

Not only this, with more than hundred’s of languages and cultures, India is one such country which show a sign of such a large NATIONAL INTEGRITY. We, the country people, love to celebrate our festivals together without any discrimination of religions. One of the most common example to show this is the presence of “Temple, Mosque and Gurudwara” in a line in Delhi.

Even during the recession period, India’s GDP growth was the highest, this proves our economic stability. And the education quality of our country is the best among all other nations. The other countries are offering better prospects to our people and convincing them to work for them. Students from all over the world are moving towards India for better education and are feeling blessed.

In each and every field India is proving itself with great pride. Sportsperson like Saina Nehwal, Sachin Tendulkar, Abhinav Bindra, Vishwanathan Anand, and many others, are showing India’s talent. Scientists like Dr. CV Raman, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, Dr. Swaminathan, Har Gobind Khorana, etc. had given undeniable theories in the field of science. Mr. A.R Rehman, a very well known Indian singer and composer has make us feel proud by winning oscar awards for the song “JAI HO”.

Indian Constitution is considered to be one of the most stable and an ace in democracy. This makes us proud to be part of such a great democracy.

India is the origin of many inevitable discoveries. There is a saying “ DISCOVER INDIA” that clearly implies that we have to find out the hidden things in India that already had been innovated by our ancestors.

At last but not the least, I would like to say that I am proud to be an Indian. I do have lots of thoughts but not that much space to write about this fabulous country.

EVERY INDIAN SHOULD FEEL PROUD FOR BEING A PART OF THIS AWESOME NATION!!!

THANKING YOU

INDIA ROCKS

JAI HIND….

DEEPTI BAGGA- AGAINST

The motherland who has given us our grain and shelter is undoubtedly to be proud of.it is surely honorable but am sorry folks,i don’t really feel my chest swoon when i think of her present state

rather my shoulders droop with helplessness and shame...

i look around and i find myslf staring at mere despair and pain

thinking aloud,who is the perpetrator of all this...

it’s none but me and thee!!!

India constitutes its land,its waters ,its wildlife,its natural resources but  most importantly its human power .those human resources who are struggling hard enough to defame her, trampling  upon her crushing her  for their own selfish needs.

I,as an aware citizen am greatly disturbed  by the nonchalant attitude of our brethren to any situation largely at hand .For instance to make taj mahal one of the seven wonders of the world we all voted our hearts out;but in the near past ,does anyone of us remember doing anything to save the marble’s marvel  from being corrupted by gas fumes? The answer is a sad ,painful NO.

Such is the hypocrisy of the nation ,that we support one cause in one breath and in a jiffy we run away from it to support a more ‘critically acclaimed’ one.

Let me come to a more familiar notion ,India being a seat of learning housed  the universities of taxila and nalanda ; giving great examples to the world of guru shishya relationship  ,now  is distressed from the cries of her bruised students at the  hands of their ‘honourable’ teachers.What possible explanation anybody has to offer of that?None ,i believe.

A country where her ‘future’ is badly shattered can never dream of being proud.

India gave the world the first lesson in civic amenities via the Harappas’ famous town planning and drainage system.This is surely something to cherish but NOW the condition of all the roads when god ‘indra’  showers is dilapidated.

A country which is the largest democracy in the world shows duplicity when some unruly parties mercilessly ouster non speakers of  local language from their self proclaimed lands.This act of sure cowardice sends signs of clear disunity among the nation.Is that to be proud of?

India a place where the  seeds of communal divide sown by the british are still reaping its fruits in the form of the ayodhya issue and godhra riots ,while we still boast of our rich and varied cultural diversity.true to its fact we are home to different shades of people of the world ,but have we been able to integrate them?

Till now kashmir is boiling with indignation and is furious with all the false promises made to it.amidst such pitiful situation ,the distress failed to even  raise eyebrows of DELHI.Quite resentful...!!the country which gave the world the slogan of ‘sarvadharama kutumbakam’ is under a lot of pressure,indeed.

our country has inherited a glorious past ,the legacy of ashoka the great , imperial guptas and the great mughals but now its high time we are charged the ‘inheritance tax’.Yes,the right to enjoy the respect of the world due to our past heroes is limited by the deeds of the present.are we carving out a India that BAPU and CHACHA dreamt of?

let me tell you what truely enshrines this nation now ,red tapism ,a non functional bureaucracy,a weak executive  and a blind judiciary,chalta hai attitute of denizens and to make heads turn ,100% freedom of media.a deadly combination indeed!

india which once was known for its justice especially in times of jahangir who had a bell which could be rung in times of need,is today better  known by ‘justice delayed is justice denied ‘.a mockery of our judiciary is the ruthless murder of priyadarshini mattoo,and pratibha who just received justice after long years of wait.

I am no enemy of my nation,rather am deeply in love with it and that’s the sole reason i want to point out her ,rather our pitfalls. let us wake up to make ourselves once again proud;afterall the best motivating is self motivating.

PRERNA KHURANA- FOR

Hello Dear Judges,my Fellow mates and my Opponents. I am PRERNA and My Topic is WE ARE INDIANS- ARE WE PROUD OF INDIA?? And I am speaking 'for the motion'.

ALBERT EINSTEIN rightly quoted that "We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made."

I should consider it as my privilege that I got to talk about The Magnificent INDIA whose denizens we are. It it is a great great country that we live in and we should consider it as our luck to be be born on such a fertile land. Rightly,we call it 'THE LAND OF LORDS'.

With more than 3000 years old history of a civilisation, India lies way above in terms of discoveries and inventions.For example,Sulabh Sutra describes pythagorus theorem predating Pythagoras by 300 years .The fastest and simplest way of mathematical calculations is VEDIC MATHS made by SHANKARACHARYA . The world's 1st University was established in TAKSHILA 700 BC, and many more.

India today stands tall among the comity of nations. Today, India is one of the fastest growing emerging nations in the world.When the entire world ,including USA which is considered the most powerful nation,was in the tentacles of Global Financial Meltdown,Indian economy was the least affected.

I feel elated to name those personalities whose achievements have taken India to next level of techology . For example Mr. Vinod Khosla who is a fouder of Sun Micro systems , Aziz Premji the CEO of Wipro Industries is the third richest man in the world, the Ambani brothers ,who took the world by a storm and stand tall as one of the major pillars supporting India .

  

We as Indians can definitely feel proud of our rich heritage, the symbol of love Taj Mahal , which was ranked first in the tough competition of the seven wonders of the world. 

The rich legacy of our Epitome of Truth and Non-violence (Mahatma Gandhi), whom the world still holds in great reverence and history mentions him THE FATHER OF THE NATION.

Unity and brotherhood among people of different religions makes the country one of the most tolerant and liberal in the world. Here Hindus embrace their Muslim counterparts during Id, and Muslims greet their Hindu friends during the Festival of Light (Deepawali).The sanctity maintained at the time of BABRI MAZJID verdict, showed that we Indians are one when it comes to being the hosts of the COMMON WEALTH GAMES.

Even our BOLLY WOOD is winning accolades  Internationally and claiming Oscars and it has already gathered a few in its kitty. The madame TUSSUAD'S has many of our great actors waxed like Amitabh Bachchan, Shah rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai to name a few. Many of our actors have even bagged the opportunity of working in Holly Wood like Naseeruddin Shah, Irfan Khan etc.

We can feel proud of our sports icons who have scaled new heights in their sport events and have made the nation proud. Batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar has indeed kept India's tricolour flying high by his batting magic. This living legend has many records to his credit. And the recent one being that he is the First player in the history of cricket to score an unattainable score of 14000 runs in Test Cricket.

How can we forget The Grand opening the CWG !! All INDIANS shivered with amazement and pride seeing the participants reflecting India's culture, festivals,dances.talent and creativity .It was a moment of ecstasy for all Indians out there in the world who had goosebumps on their skin and tears in their eyes.And now,we are even ready to be the hosts for the greatest sporting event- the OLYMPICS.After which we would surely enter the band wagon of the develpoed nations.

Words are few and I could go on and on boasting about our country INDIA.

INDEED WE ARE FORTUNATE TO BE PART OF SUCH A FABULOUS COUNTRY.

PROUD TO BE INDIAN

JAI HIND !!!
