(a) Role of an ideal Citizen. 

An ideal citizen is the one who is aware of his duties even as he exercises his rights. The constitution of India has assured us both right and duties. But unfortunately, most of us enjoy our rights without fulfilling our duties. So, we can say that ideal citizen is the one who prioritises his duties over his rights. 

What are the duties to be upheld by an ideal citizen? First and foremost, an ideal citizen is the one who loves his country and who is proud of his country. So he should promote secularism and bring people of different communities together in the true spirit of brotherhood.

The word ‘brotherhood’ points out that in society all of us should get equal opportunities. So an ideal citizen would strive to ensure that there is social justice and people get equal benefit without a huge gap between the rich and the poor. An ideal citizen should exhibit the virtue of philanthropy and social consciousness.

In addition to these lofty ideals, an ideal citizen should also keep in mind practical values like saving the environment, preserving natural resources, keeping the surroundings clean and protecting public amenities

If each one of us does what is expected of an ideal citizen, this world certainly be a better place to live in and we can experience the heaven on the earth.

(b) Indian farmer today

Indian farmers today are at the cross roads. Technology has taken huge strides reformulating the role of farmers.

If farmers do not make use of technology, they would be left behind in this fast – moving world, That is why, it is of paramount importance that Indian farmers educate themselves and know how to succeed in the new world order of consumerism. If they are educated, they can progress in the field of agriculture and contribute richly towards the economy of the nation. Even to this day, despite the progress it has made in the IT Sector, India is recognised as an agricultural economy. Hence it is of paramount importance that India values its farmers.

But unfortunately we have seen that Indian farmers are native, and hence are taken for a ride by the mediators. That is why there are many tragic cases of farmers committing suicide after being cheated by mediators who swallow a lion’s share of farmers profit margin or landlords who offer loans on high rates of interest. It is the duty of the government to offer attractive schemes of farmers so that the nation makes progress in the field of agriculture.

It is also necessary that the government educates farmers and also gives manure and farming equipment at subsidised rates.

This would mean a bright future for India. XIII. 45. Imagine that
