Odisha has a glorious past and we all know that very well. Some of my friends have argued abt false glory etc. I would request them to think twice before expressing this kind of statements. It has lost it s glory bcos of we Odias. We Odias are cowards; literate idiots; do not even have guts to openely shout/accept that I am an Odia. I do ask you people: how many times from your childhood days have you shown interest in Odisha's development (atleast have seriopusly thought once) or have proudly told people fron other state/country about the acheivments/developments and the unique strength of Odisha. Just you think once and try to realise that whatever u r, it is bcos of Odisha; you have got the inner strenthg from Odisha; may be you got the opprotunity to earn money in other cities; but how did u reach that stage of being eligible for a job??? Do not you feel it is your responsibility now to contribute (could be of any form) to ur state/people when u r in a stage to delover in some way???
I met some guys from Mumbai while I was in UK; I was surprised to hear that their Odia friends have told them that there is nothing great in Odisha. Even I was questioned what is there unique abt Odisha. They were speechless when they got the exposure of rthe eastern state in terms of religion, infrastructure, investment, growth etc and obviously some snaps.
Every one takes the snap of poor people, half naked tribals etc and worls get the exposure of that or the communal riots etc though news. How many of us shared photos of great and unique tourist places like Bhitarkanika, Chillika etc.. or the infrastructre like roads, parks, wildlife of our capital BBSR??? Atleast people who visit and take a good snap can share with portals which are having old and not so interesting photos.
Many of our friends have openly expressed their disatsifaction using the terms like false glory etc... I ask them to count the number of persons (from other state) they come across who speak against their state/native/capital.
