Patriotism

Haven't seen the movie Rang De Basanti but have heard that it is a good movie with a different view point about patriotism. So what actually is patriotism?
Is it the love for the motherland?
Then what about the system governing the country and the government ruling the country.
In Rang De Basanti the youth revolt against the system and the people ruling the country yet they are termed patriot.
So can we say that everyone who is not doing anything wrong against his fellow human being and not hurting them is patriot. The biggest threat to patriotism is from greed. Greed for money, power and fame. Greed which gives rise to dis-honesty and dis-respect towards own country and fellow humans. If we can curb this greed from soaking down into our coming generations we can surely make our country better!
To be a patriot everyone is not needed to go and fight at the borders. There is a fight which goes inside ourselves and we need to fight and win it. The fight to be a good human being. Human being with sentiments, love and care for others. As per me empathy, love, honesty and kindness are most important ingredients for patriotism. With self sacrifice being the greatest and most difficult virtue of all to follow in a patriot's life.
We all may not be courageous enough to sacrifice ourselves but can be brave enough to win our inner war and emerge as victorious. A victory which destroys greed and dis-honesty.
Lets all be patriots.
Jai Hind!
