&lt;em&gt;Severe air pollution due to Diwali firecrackers is but one example of the average Indian&#039;s disregard for others and for the law&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The recent air pollution of severe proportions in cities like Calcutta and New Delhi resulted from a failure to comply with a Supreme Court order that banned firecrackers during Diwali. The unabated pollution from fireworks cannot be blamed on politicians and the police alone. We as citizens have to take full responsibility for this. We failed, in this context, to show consideration for other people and their well-being. Communities with good civic sense would be expected to refrain from violating such an order. Perhaps a court edict would not have been necessary at all. In India, however, we have a penchant for breaking rules and violating regulations for personal benefit or from sheer disregard for the law. This is extremely pervasive and is hard-wired in our minds. This kind of behaviour cuts across economic class, ethnicity, religion, gender and age. This, almost universal trait in our country, is not supposed to be an indication of a civilised community by any stretch of imagination. We are usually very proud of our ancient civilisation and our culture. If one indicates any signs of scepticism about the glory of the nation&amp;rsquo;s ancient past, then the person is immediately labelled &amp;lsquo;anti-national&amp;rsquo;. Is there any relationship between being anti-national and being uncivilised? There might be, because by implication the anti-national is not fully convinced about the glorious civilised past.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think it is important to distinguish between a &amp;lsquo;civilisation&amp;rsquo; and &amp;lsquo;being civilised&amp;rsquo;. The former is a historical assessment of the state of affairs of a society where there was some structure and order, and rules that governed were reasonable and open to revision. Over and above this, certain shared beliefs are supposed to be commonly held by the large majority like valuing peace, tolerating differences and diversity, not hurting others, especially those less powerful, and obeying the basic rules of governance. These beliefs are expected to be universal across civilisations. Traditions, customs and practices that constitute a culture could be different from one civilisation to another. Hence, while civilisations can vary quite a bit, being civilised does not. Therefore, it is a legitimate question to ask: to what extent are we civilised as a nation even though we have an ancient civilisation in our past?&lt;br /&gt;

The unabated pollution from fireworks cannot be blamed on politicians and the police alone. We as citizens have to take full responsibility for this. We failed, in this context, to show consideration for other people and their well-being. Communities with good civic sense would be expected to refrain from violating such an order. Perhaps a court edict would not have been necessary at all. In India, however, we have a penchant for breaking rules and violating regulations for personal benefit or from sheer disregard for the law. This is extremely pervasive and is hard-wired in our minds. This kind of behaviour cuts across economic class, ethnicity, religion, gender and age. This, almost universal trait in our country, is not supposed to be an indication of a civilised community by any stretch of imagination. We are usually very proud of our ancient civilisation and our culture. If one indicates any signs of scepticism about the glory of the nation&amp;rsquo;s ancient past, then the person is immediately labelled &amp;lsquo;anti-national&amp;rsquo;. Is there any relationship between being anti-national and being uncivilised? There might be, because by implication the anti-national is not fully convinced about the glorious civilised past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think it is important to distinguish between a &amp;lsquo;civilisation&amp;rsquo; and &amp;lsquo;being civilised&amp;rsquo;. The former is a historical assessment of the state of affairs of a society where there was some structure and order, and rules that governed were reasonable and open to revision. Over and above this, certain shared beliefs are supposed to be commonly held by the large majority like valuing peace, tolerating differences and diversity, not hurting others, especially those less powerful, and obeying the basic rules of governance. These beliefs are expected to be universal across civilisations. Traditions, customs and practices that constitute a culture could be different from one civilisation to another. Hence, while civilisations can vary quite a bit, being civilised does not. Therefore, it is a legitimate question to ask: to what extent are we civilised as a nation even though we have an ancient civilisation in our past?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.telegraphindia.com/opinion/being-a-nationalist-is-a-lot-easier-than-being-civilised/cid/1675350?ref=comment_home-template&quot; title=&quot;https://www.telegraphindia.com/opinion/being-a-nationalist-is-a-lot-easier-than-being-civilised/cid/1675350?ref=comment_home-template&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Severe air pollution due to Diwali firecrackers is but one example of the average Indian&#039;s disregard for others and for the law&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The recent air pollution of severe proportions in cities like Calcutta and New Delhi resulted from a failure to comply with a Supreme Court order that banned firecrackers during Diwali. The unabated pollution from fireworks cannot be blamed on politicians and the police alone. We as citizens have to take full responsibility for this. We failed, in this context, to show consideration for other people and their well-being. Communities with good civic sense would be expected to refrain from violating such an order. Perhaps a court edict would not have been necessary at all. In India, however, we have a penchant for breaking rules and violating regulations for personal benefit or from sheer disregard for the law. This is extremely pervasive and is hard-wired in our minds. This kind of behaviour cuts across economic class, ethnicity, religion, gender and age. This, almost universal trait in our country, is not supposed to be an indication of a civilised community by any stretch of imagination. We are usually very proud of our ancient civilisation and our culture. If one indicates any signs of scepticism about the glory of the nation&amp;rsquo;s ancient past, then the person is immediately labelled &amp;lsquo;anti-national&amp;rsquo;. Is there any relationship between being anti-national and being uncivilised? There might be, because by implication the anti-national is not fully convinced about the glorious civilised past.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think it is important to distinguish between a &amp;lsquo;civilisation&amp;rsquo; and &amp;lsquo;being civilised&amp;rsquo;. The former is a historical assessment of the state of affairs of a society where there was some structure and order, and rules that governed were reasonable and open to revision. Over and above this, certain shared beliefs are supposed to be commonly held by the large majority like valuing peace, tolerating differences and diversity, not hurting others, especially those less powerful, and obeying the basic rules of governance. These beliefs are expected to be universal across civilisations. Traditions, customs and practices that constitute a culture could be different from one civilisation to another. Hence, while civilisations can vary quite a bit, being civilised does not. Therefore, it is a legitimate question to ask: to what extent are we civilised as a nation even though we have an ancient civilisation in our past?&lt;br /&gt;

The recent air pollution of severe proportions in cities like Calcutta and New Delhi resulted from a failure to comply with a Supreme Court order that banned firecrackers during Diwali. The unabated pollution from fireworks cannot be blamed on politicians and the police alone. We as citizens have to take full responsibility for this. We failed, in this context, to show consideration for other people and their well-being. Communities with good civic sense would be expected to refrain from violating such an order. Perhaps a court edict would not have been necessary at all. In India, however, we have a penchant for breaking rules and violating regulations for personal benefit or from sheer disregard for the law. This is extremely pervasive and is hard-wired in our minds. This kind of behaviour cuts across economic class, ethnicity, religion, gender and age. This, almost universal trait in our country, is not supposed to be an indication of a civilised community by any stretch of imagination. We are usually very proud of our ancient civilisation and our culture. If one indicates any signs of scepticism about the glory of the nation&rsquo;s ancient past, then the person is immediately labelled &lsquo;anti-national&rsquo;. Is there any relationship between being anti-national and being uncivilised? There might be, because by implication the anti-national is not fully convinced about the glorious civilised past.<br />
<br />
I think it is important to distinguish between a &lsquo;civilisation&rsquo; and &lsquo;being civilised&rsquo;. The former is a historical assessment of the state of affairs of a society where there was some structure and order, and rules that governed were reasonable and open to revision. Over and above this, certain shared beliefs are supposed to be commonly held by the large majority like valuing peace, tolerating differences and diversity, not hurting others, especially those less powerful, and obeying the basic rules of governance. These beliefs are expected to be universal across civilisations. Traditions, customs and practices that constitute a culture could be different from one civilisation to another.

Being a nationalist is a lot easier than being civilised -Anup Sinha

-The Telegraph Severe air pollution due to Diwali firecrackers is but one example of the average Indian's disregard for others and for the law The recent air pollution of severe proportions in cities like Calcutta and New Delhi resulted from a failure to comply with a Supreme Court order that banned firecrackers during Diwali.
