USA-an Angel or Demon

I am born in a country, in which i am taught to be proud on my country (for what, they never explain me). As an obedient kid i always followed that. I am born in a country, which started its journey as a socialist, who was supisious about anything realated to capitalism and always tried to find evil in that. I am born in a society in which people could, in a blink of eyes, term you as traitor, sycophant, blood sucker enemy of poor, if by mistake you mention the name of United State Of America in some good perspective. And as i said being a very faithful member of this society i always beleived that. I always saw government in askance if they took some friendly steps towards USA and always termed it as capitulating country to some superpower and catapulting us again in slavery. But friends , I am born in a country which also taught me to open your mind and come out of prejudices and shed some light on other side of fact, after all we are very few among in this world who can claim to have freedom of expression.United State of America- a country which became emblem of freedom, democracy, equality, human right and endless dream of millions. A country with very few hundreds years of history, but with splendid achievent in those few years. A country of Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. USA was 1st discovered by Christopher Columbus(in 1493) but the 1st european to land in today’s known USA was Juan Ponce De leon (in 1513). It was later colonised by many country like Spain, Portugal, France, Russia and finaaly by British. America was initially inhabitated by the British people, but mostly by the indentured labour from Britain. Thats where sentiment of American differed from colonial and arisocrat British. Suppression and negligence infuriated the American and accutated the sense of longing to freedom and equality. So, when America aquired its freedom, it became the 1st modern democratic nation and from there it started its journey towards freedom, equality and prosperity. Though there were some backlashes like slavery, which resulted in civil war, but its never dies spirit did not let it to surrender its value and it continued its journey. It become the champion of people’s dream and example of USA encouraged many country to follow the suit. French Revolution is the radiant example of that. The foundation of country was laid by many great person in the history, among which Benjamin Franklin comes at front. Benjamin Franklin was one of the most innovationist and inventionist of the mankind history. His innovative ideas played a great role in laying the strong foundation of today’s known United States. The effort and idea of its forefather is what that drove this country towards greatness and keep effecting the future generations. This is 1st country in world which gave the mantra of, ‘Making money’ instead of aquiring it. People of America achieved and made money, they invented, they innovated, they made dollor they never seized it from any one. It is the 1st country which came out of its border and embrace all of those who have dream of making money, irrespective of thier race , nationality and gender. The list is never ending and can not be listed in this small blog. This is my tribute to all of those great American who by thier effort and instinct drove this world to a bright era from the dark. Good and bad always lies with any of great nations, all nations make mistake and US is not the exception. I love my country, because i am part of it. I respect United State of America because i am part of this world .
