APEEJAY EDUCATION ESSAY COMPETITION 2021: ‘PATRIOTISM IN TODAY’S TIMES’
The word ‘patriot’ has etymological origins in Greece from the word ‘Patris’ signifying Fatherland. For generations of Indians, patriotism was synonymous with our freedom fighters in the struggle for Independence from colonial British rule. Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, Lokmanya Tilak, Jawaharlal Nehru and of course, Mahatma Gandhi, were considered our greatest national icons. But with the passage of time, our icons changed from freedom fighters to politicians, entrepreneurs, industrialists, sportspersons, and even actors.
UNDERSTANDING PATRIOTISM IN TODAY’S TIMES
In the 21st century, the connotation of patriot may be a departure from the conventional definition.
