Some inflame bloody riots on my name
Some freeze their comfort to guard my honour
Some debate against me for interference in the autonomy of a place
Some unite their day and night to add chapters to my untold glory
Some paint their bodies with the hues of mine to evince the so-called patriotism
Some drench me with tears in reminiscence of their dead sons, husbands and fathers
For two days in a year, you see me everywhere fluttering freely under the sky
For the rest days, I witness you all from the chocked drain and garbage dumps
I feel ashamed when such things happen to me as if I am a mere caricature.
Don’t you recognize me yet!
I am the emblem of your independence, the symbol of your country
I am the one whom you call tricolour 🇮🇳

Jai Hind!
Half earth, half sky 
SMiLes Dear ruchiabhisikta Happy
Indian Republic Day to You And It’s
True Many Flags Around the World
Are Struggling to Survive It’s
True There is No Guarantee
of Freedoms Won Before
Or More Perfect Unions to Come
The Flag of A Country is Only As Great
As Independent And Free People Supporting
All Of Each Other This Way Yet So Hard When
Folks Come To Speak Different Languages of Culture
In So Many
Separate Ways
And the Larger The Country
And The More The Freedom Ironically
May Separate A Country’s Peoples Even More
Indeed a Conundrum Freedom May Come to
Bind Or Unravel As Threads Come Loose From Flags..:)

True patriotism is more than symbolism. If a person who works honestly and sincerely and helps others is more patriotic than those who do drama of patriotism by talking big, but do nothing.

Agreed completely. Show off patriotism is trending now-a-days & the love and dedication for improvement of country are getting blurred.
