Feeling Patriotic

What does one need to feel patriotic??? This one question was there in my mind from past some days. Is it the echo of national anthem? Is it the voice of some nightingale singing the national song? Is it the sight of national flag? Or national emblem? Or the sight of lot of persons from different religions standing together? Is it some strong patriotic speech given by some strong leader? Is it some achievement that you get for your nation? Or is it something else????

Well i finally found the answer today in the newspaper. It is the PREAMBLE OF OUR CONSTITUTION that just filled my heart with just one thought. AM VERY PROUD OF BEING AN INDIAN. Here it goes.....

WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens: 

JUSTICE, social, economic and political;
LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship; 
EQUALITY of status and of opportunity; 
and to promote among them all
FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation; 

IN OUR CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY this twenty-sixth day of November, 1949, do HEREBY ADOPT, ENACT AND GIVE TO OURSELVES THIS CONSTITUTION.
