Bangalore: India is always known for its unity in diversity, but it is also known as the land of contradictions. Here are the five not so good contradictions which India and Indians should be concerned of.

1. Blesses with Nature, Cursed with Habits

Nature has blessed India with its best: the mighty Himalayas, the dense Silent-Valley, the desert of Rajasthan, the divine Ganga and Yamuna, the beaches of Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea, the roar of Bengal Tiger and the beauty of Peacock. But we care little for this beautiful environment and are more concerned about the regular development issues and are obsessed with our non-environment friendly practices. The air we breathe in our cities has become highly polluted and the fertile land and river are being privatized for commercial and industrial purpose. It’s high time that India should start taking care for its environment and make people more aware of climate change issues.
