I guess if u have to ask then you do not obviously feel proud to be one.

If you can tell me why you would feel ashamed to be one then perhaps it 
would make sense to address that.

As for me why I feel proud to be an Indian there are  many reasons.

One in the very few years that we have been free we have achieved more than 
our neighbours.

In the many years in spite of rampant corruption the army has never had to 
take over the running of the country. (unlike Pakistan)

We have not had to forcibly impose family planning on the entire nation like 
China.

We do not force people to believe in a particular faith or religion or God.

We have given the world the basis for all accounts maths and computers and 
in so doing gave the world organisation by defining the "zero".

We have some of the worlds oldest civilisation.

We have the bravest soldiers in the world who do not think twice before 
risking their  lives for the defence of our country.

The list is endless and i dont think i can enumerate them all... not in the 
life i have anyway.

If anybody feels that the country next door is better all i can say is the 
grass is greener on the ....................

I FEEL PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN BECAUSE I BELONG TO THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE 
WORLD.
