How valued and 'Nationalist' he is 'today' is perhaps depicted in his comment in another blog of same IBNlive website.

Kishore's Post.....
A touching story. I think there are reasons why we still dont feel like Indians. And the reason is so simple. It is that we are still not a NATION. We are not Indians since we live in India. We are Indians since others call us Indians. we are still states and provinces in our own minds. If you delve deeper you would find that we got our freedom without even understanding what freedom is. We got our freedom since Azad and Bhagat wanted their freedom and Gandhi wanted his freedom. We dint get it because we deserved it. We got it since British were fed up with managing us and our mediocrity and just wanted to go back. The whole problem is that the generations above dont understand their freedom. Oh, leave it. I wont go on blaming the center for isolating itself with states, politicians for not understanding what they actually are meant to do, teachers(most pathetic of the lot) who were not committed enough to spread the essence of freedom and independence. I dont care. Since whenever I have to get high on freedom and struggle, I take my dvd out named PEARL HARBOUR and see how the americans loved their nation.I love it since it has the spirit of remaining independent as a nation.

My Response.....
Dear Mr.Kishore,
I'm, deeply touched on your analysis 'why we don't feel like Indians'. How true it is !My heart cankers !! Your last two lines reflect how 'Nationalist', and how deeply concerned you are, about our India as a 'Nation', 'Defined' by our 'generation-above'.
I am a 'die-hard optimist', who still bears 'Hope' and 'Confidence' on you and your generation who shall 'Re-Define', our India as it 'Ought-To-Have-Been' and 'As-It-Ought-To-Be'.
PEARL HARBOUR, is also one of my favourites. How I wish, PEARL HARBOUR that brought about the navigational change into the second-world-war, that symbolises 'True-Nationalism' of America, be the source of inspiration for all of us to-day, to 'Act-Upon' in, and for, our India, and not just as a source of solace, to escape away from, how and what India was or is at present !!!
Love.
