Patriotic Song Competition

"Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong."

Patriotism means a noble sentiment of love, pride, and sacrifice for the sake of one’s country and its people. A person, who supports his/her country, and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors is known as a patriot. The passion of patriotism is said to flow in the blood of countrymen. Patriotism and nationalism are the two sides of the same coin. In nationalism, the nation has a symbolic representation to have freedom for an ethnic group, while in patriotism the nation itself has the highest value.

To foster a sense of belongingness towards our motherland a ‘Patriotic Singing Competition’ is organized. Music binds our soul, hearts and emotions. It not only develops aesthetic sense but is also a key to creativity.

By 'patriotism' mean devotion to a particular place and a particular way of life, which one believes to be the best in the world but has no wish to force upon other people. Patriotism is of its nature defensive, both militarily and culturally. Nationalism, on the other hand, is inseparable from the desire for power.
