Entering through the new year as per the Gregorian calendar, two forms of resolution have become a need of the hour. One is the resolution on personal development and the other is a resolution to work for the betterment of the country we are living in. A resolution of making our domicile a peaceful space for another human’s existence. The fundamental duty in our Constitution emphasises the protection of the life of wildlife, river and forest. The significance is also given to the promotion of harmony and the spirit of common brotherhood amongst all the people of India. Inculcate a small act of smiling at any individual you come across. Make acquaintances and friends from among diversified ideologies. Be open to dissent and difference of opinion. Make sure that your ideology doesn’t destroy your relationship with another human. Dissent on ideologies but not on individuals and finally carry the pride in promoting brotherhood and making our country a peaceful one.
