“Patriotism is a feeling of love and devotion

towards one’s country and its people. We

can also serve our country through our

work. As a farmer, I try to produce crops

in a way that is good for the health of the

people of this country. I don’t use even one

drop of fertiliser; just cow dung. This helps

preserve all the nutrition in the food, mak-

ing it healthy for consumption. And healthy

people are the real assets of our country.

To contribute to the health of the people

and therefore to the health of the nation, to

my mind, is real patriotism.”
