It grew up when the country had already won independence and the freedom struggle had 155 into history. Since it has grown up in a sovereign, democratic republic, nationalism and patriotism are nice words that do not quite inspire it.
Day in and day out, they extol the 146 of nationalism, patriotism and service to the motherland
