Guest guest Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Hindus have increase their patriotism for their country by equating India as their own mother and calling her “ Bharat Mata” or “ Mother India”. This concept is unique because no other country is associated in this way by calling her mother. You do not have mother USA or mother England or Mother Egypt. You have only “mother India” This is the way that Hindus were made patriotic to their motherland. And many shlokas or “verses” praising the Mother India were written by sages. One such verse for the Bharatmata is given below taken from www.hindunet.com Verse 28 A Obeisance to Bharat Mata I pay my obeisance to mother Bharata, whose feet are being a washed by the ocean, who wears the mighty Himalaya as her crown, and who is exuberantly adorned with the gems of traditions set by Brahmarsis and Rajarsis.
