Nowadays, whenever patriotism is mentioned on the Internet, it is easy to cause extremely polarized opinions. Some netizens are patriotic, while others are reduced to "passing knives to foreigners"! So, what is true patriotism? Which “country” should we love?
For example, China's famous spy Dai Li dedicated his life to China, even though he was a member of the Kuomintang. But that is a matter of political ideology . Deep down, I believe he at least loves China.
Dai Li
However, Dai Li’s granddaughter Dai Qi betrayed China and became a vanguard against China, helping the United States and trying every means to trick China!
Dai Qi
How should we view Dai Qi’s behavior?
Actually, in India, there are many people like Dai Qi who have forgotten their ancestors!
The Vice Presidential Candidate of the United States, Kamala Harris (Kamala Harris), is not only the first female vice president in the history of the United States, but also the person with the highest position in American politics among Indians!
Indian-American Vice President Hanis
In her first address to Indian Americans since becoming US Vice President, she reflected on her proud Indian heritage and recalled how her mother always wanted to Instill in her "a love of nosy."
Harris, 55, the first black person to be elected as a major party's vice presidential candidate, often refers to her childhood in Madras (now Chennai) with her grandfather. A long journey,” her grandfather told her of the “hero” responsible for the birth of the world’s largest democracy.
Joe Biden (Joe Biden) chose Indian-American and African-American Harris as his running mate during the presidential election. Harris's father is from Jamaica and his mother is from India. Now, she is second in line to the throne after Biden .
Harris was born on October 20, 1964 in Oakland, California. Mother Shyamala Gopalan immigrated to the United States from Tamil Nadu, India, while father Donald J Harris immigrated to the United States from Jamaica.
“When my mother Shyamala got off the plane in California at the age of 19, she didn’t have much. But she took with her the lessons of her hometown, including those from her parents, my grandmother Rajan, and her father, my grandfather P V Gopalan The lessons learned there. They taught her that when you see injustice in the world, you have an obligation to do something about it," Harris said.
“This is what inspired my mother to march and shout in the streets of Oakland at the height of the civil rights movement, with leaders themselves including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. being inspired by Mahatma Gandhi Inspired by violent activism,” she said.
It was during these protests that her mother met her father, Harris said. The rest, as they say, is history, she said. “Growing up, my mother would take my sister Maya and me back to what was then called Madras because she wanted us to know where she was from and where our ancestors were. Of course, she Always wanted to instill in us a love of good idleness,” Harris said.
“In Madras, I would walk with my grandfather, who was retired by then. We would go for a walk in the morning and I would hold his hand and he would tell me about the things that were so important to the birth of the world’s largest democracy. A hero with a responsibility. He would explain that we have a responsibility to pick up where they left off. Those lessons are a big reason why I am who I am today," Harris explained of the profound influence her Indian heritage has had on her.
“We as Indians in America are bound together by our shared history and culture, not just our shared history and culture,” Harris said, adding that no matter how diverse our backgrounds, each South Asian diaspora’s There is a kinship between the products “because we also share a set of values: values forged by overcoming colonial history, not just in one country but in two countries.
“Tolerance for pluralism and diversity, etc. Values, looking back over the past 73 years, it is remarkable how much progress people have made in the struggle for justice. And should be proud. But we won’t do this if we’re not committed to building a better future. So, I want you to celebrate today, and then tomorrow, I want you to get to work with me," she said.
These are the words Hanis, an Indian, often quotes when speaking to Indians in the United States.
However, compared to Dai Qi, Harris has done very well!
