Patriotism sold here

October 07, 2013 04:27 pm | Updated 04:27 pm IST - PUDUCHERRY:

When it is constantly quoted that India is in the hands of the young, do we mean the image of a small boy selling the national flag? Children at school learn about freedom struggle and the various freedom fighters, who shed their blood, in History books. The adults do not have the time to remember those martyrs and are busy in their race with time and money. It is just right that the small boy sells patriotism to the gentleman in the car!
