Sagar Kari:

Patriotism is the driving force behind India's immense pride today. We aspire not just for personal success but also as a united community and nation. With our diverse communities and cultures coexisting, we strive to learn from each other. I take immense pride in contributing to the Indian music industry, which has a rich history of legendary figures showcasing India on various platforms. Being a small part of this legacy is truly special, and I am dedicated to promoting our emerging Indian artists on bigger stages. For me, patriotism is encapsulated in a simple form – faith. It's the faith that has brought us to where we are, and it will continue to be our faith and dedication to ourselves, our country, and our work that propels us to greater heights. Taking pride in being Indian is the key to our future success.

Ansh Dhote:

For me, patriotism is like an unspoken agreement in our life's journey—we all contribute to our country's story. It's more than just following a plan; it's about sharing a strong sense of pride and love for our nation. This connection brings us together, celebrating the unique parts that make our country special. In everyday life, patriotism gives meaning to our shared experiences, showing how everyone plays a role in our country's progress. Especially during the tough times of COVID-19, I've seen amazing examples of our nation's strength. Communities supporting each other, frontline workers showing incredible dedication—it's been a real showcase of our country's spirit. For me, patriotism is witnessing these moments and feeling proud to be part of a nation that can face challenges with strength and kindness. It's a personal link to the combined efforts that shape our story, making me believe in our shared narrative's enduring power. It’s giving back to our country.

Agu Stanley:

As a content creator, patriotism for me is like painting a digital picture of my country's diverse identity. It's not just about showcasing the flag; it's about telling unique stories that go beyond the surface, much like the steadfast support we offer our country in both good and tough times. Patriotism means defending our nation's interests through the stories I share. It's about keeping faith in our country's potential and paying tribute to those who sacrificed their lives for our freedom. Each piece I create is a way of honoring their memory and ensuring their stories inspire in today's digital age. Patriotism, in my content creation journey, is a personal dedication, combining storytelling with a deep sense of pride for the colorful aspects that make my country special.


Chavi Khattar:

In my perspective, patriotism is about weaving narratives that spotlight the often-overlooked facets of my country. It's a commitment to bringing forth stories that showcase hidden beauty, untold tales, and profound strength within our diverse cultures. As I navigate the digital landscape, patriotism entails the responsibility of uplifting voices that might otherwise remain unheard. It's using creativity as a force for unity, creating a shared sense of pride and understanding. In its simplest form, patriotism is an ongoing story


Pema Leilani:

Patriotism, to me, is like being part of a lively mosaic where everyone, no matter their religion, contributes to our diverse nation. It's not about fitting into one mold but appreciating the different colors that make up our shared picture. Patriotism is understanding that each culture, tradition, and viewpoint adds richness to our identity. I'm proud to call this country home because it's a place where everyone is accepted, irrespective of their faith. It's the celebration of our unique stories, blending seamlessly to reflect the true essence of our nation—a smart, welcoming space where diversity is cherished and a sense of belonging is universal.
