Keeping emotions aside, what has India done for you that you feel proud to be an Indian?

India ki jameen pe wo kannak uggi thi jisko khaa ke you were able to reach where you are now and your existance on this planet is by the grace of that land only. Shouldn't that land get some credit for bringing you up apart from you mother? Now, having said that, I ask you, What have you done for India to feel proud of you?

Being born in place is a matter of pure luck good or bad and is in the hands of God. If India was so great, people would not be leaving it. Actually India was made a mess of by socialist policies of politicians. How things change. Western traditions which were looked down upon are being copied in India. Where are the traditions of India now? If they were so great to begin with? Pollution, corruption, long lines for everything, heavy traffic, hypocrisy etc. are some things that I remember India for. Good things may be let me think..close knit familes, friends, historic places, food, etc. So it was good in some aspects and bad in some.
There is a lot to be proud of being an Indian. This thread does not ask you to give your views why you hate India. It will be nice if you write points why are you proud of India. No body asked your view on India's policy. If you do not then please simply keep quite.

I feel proud to be Indian due to lot of things..
1) India is the only place, where I can get a licence without any written or driving test
2) I never have to worry about points on my driving license or increase in insurance premium if I break a traffic law..Rs. 100 is all I need to avoid all hassles
3) I just have to pay chai-pani kharcha to Electricity employee and I can easily get a discounted electricity bill every month
4) I have total freedom in my country..spit anywhere I want whether its govt hospital, Electricity board or whatever. Can throw my trash on roads as there are enough cows to eat them (aur meri taraf se go-daan ka jimma bhi khatam)
5) No rules to follow anywhere..I can drive in opposite direction, speed at 120 km in 30 km zone, lanes - what are they? Can u get such freedom anywhere?
6) I can sit on my desk and curse the whole Indian society, politics and administration for a pathetic India inspite of me being an integral part of that very system.
India haters - grow up..if you hate India, you obviously hate Indians as they are part of that India..so why are you interacting with very same indians? If US or Europe are best, why don't you just make friends with the educated, intelligent firangs?
India is growing at a much faster pace than europe or even US compared to when it was actually independent. More than 50% of the problems in India are created by people like you and me who feel proud of breaking the laws and curse the system created by yourself. In spite of so many problems, India is on world map - all because we are capable and are reaching towards that goal. Our generation is much more educated and knowledgeable than previous generations and have the power to bring change. Thats the reason Indians are at top strata in US n UK..
US and other developed countries are ahead just because of three reasons. Low population, basic infrastructure available for everyone and civic sense in people. Otherwise they have the same problems as India - bad politicians, corruption, thefts, rapes, bad police, etc. No country is bad, its the people who make it bad or good. If you are able to instill the sense of responsibility in everyone around you, our country would not be far behind.

Something to feel proud about. Two Indian writers make it to Booker Short-list. And one of Them is Arvind Adiga with his book The White Tiger. (I had mentioned about it earlier). He is the youngest on the list and his book is immensely readable; An idea that would have sounded outlandish in India a few years ago.

India makes lots of movies but the quality of acting is poor, Some movies are scene for scene copies of foreign movies specially hollywood movies. Mahesh Bhatt specializes in plagarizing movie scripts. I don't think he pays for copyrights. There is not a single Indian movie that has won an oscar for foreign films. In hindi movies actors just shout and shout. Shouting is not acting. The quality of music and singing has gone down considerably. After Rafi, kishore, and mukesh, there are very few male singers of any note. Same to same naach gana, bunch of people just dancing in lines, wohi dhun. Not much originality at all.
Just my take on hindi movies.

ya i think its true for many movies... people have found easy way to make money (but its not bad in my view)... not many indians ( %age wise) have seen hollywood movies n thats why these people think of copying... jo bik raha hai woh hit hai....this is business, and is economically viable... if everybody will react like u, it will create competition and then the bollywood people will think of innovation.
So we need cinema globalization
where all people understand english and common mass will be able to identify which scene is copied. It will take some time.

It is not bad in your view!!!!!!
They are stealing scripts dialogue for dialogue. It is a violation of coyprights!!! They should be taken to courts and made to pay damages. They are freeloading off someone else's hard work and making crores. They are thieves. Mahesh Bhatt is a thief and so are many of these hindi/Indian filmakers raking in money by stealing scripts and music from foreigners. The Indian actors including loud mouth and bad dancer Amitabh Bachhhan, fake voice man shah Rukh khan, short, fat man govinda are a disgrace in the name of acting. They cannot dance, they cannot act.
