A culture of spite and ridicule prevails in middle class India, thanks to highly liberalized activists who constantly denigrate the system and establishment. Movies, thru articles & journalists are bent upon turning India into a cowardly nation, with only appeasement in mind. This is highly dangerous for an emerging nation whose base is not yet consolidated.

Dude, read my comments above. I respect the army and those who serve in it immensely. At the same time I also believe in the constitution, rule of law, freedom of speech, etc. and I regularly speak out against fundamentalists - Islamic or the Hindutva brigade. That makes me a liberal in your book I guess - but it doesn't make my love for this country any less than yours. It is just that I believe that the constitution of our country should come before interest groups or religious interests. Macho shortcuts such as engineering riots to kill your opponents are anti-constitution and so anti India.
So hope you don't club all secular liberals into the same group. Some of us hate Modi but also the CPM and also the Congress; and we do love the Indian army and take pride in India.
