Read the passage carefully:India is on the path of greatness. But where will this greatness come from? Is it only the government of acountry that can lead it to greatness? Is it only the political leaders that can shape the future of a nation?No. The true greatness of any nation lies in people. There is capability for greatness in every citizen of theland, for the true owners of our nation are its citizens. The government is only the guardian of the nationand is ready to serve the people of the country. This is what a true democracy should be like. However, fora true democracy to succeed, the citizens have to play a larger role and fulfil their duties towards thenation. The most famous line from the US President John F Kennedy's inaugural address is, "Ask not whatyour country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country". What is this but a call for citizens torise to the occasion and do their duty? In a true democracy, people get the leaders they deserve. If wesimply sit in our drawing rooms and debate the quality of leadership this country has, we will achievenothing. We have to play an active role in creating a new type of leadership, because it is we, the people,who own the nation. We can achieve this kind of leadership firstly by educating the youth of the countrywhich is of supreme importance. Second, parents need to teach their children the importance of obeyinglaws. Children need to learn and be encouraged to express their talents and skills and considerthemselves as the real strength of their nation. We need to encourage new ideas and creativity. Whetheryou start a small business, write an article, teach a child, shop at local stores, not pollute yourenvironment, participate in cleanliness drives, create a work of art, volunteer for some social cause oranother similar effort, you are performing your duty as a citizen. You are contributing to the consciousnessof community development and this will begin the process of change. Considering that most young peoplespend most of their time at school or at work, it is also important for teachers and employers to inculcatea sense of duty in the hearts and minds of young people.​
