Some people say patriotism causes problems and is negative overall. Others feel that it is beneficial for society at large. Do the advantages of patriotism outweigh its disadvantages?

The feeling of patriotism plays a vital role in the growth of the country. There is a bunch of
people
 who thinks that being loyal to the
nation
 can create issues and has a lot of drawbacks whereas other think it helps in the
development
 of the
nation
. In recent years, a plethora of merits has been observed.
To begin
 with, citizens’ loyalty has helped in the
development
 of a
nation
. In order to contribute to the
development
 of the
nation
,
People
 have started using locally made products. It has helped in generating a lot of employment opportunities and eventually, it has
also
 helped in boosting the economy of the country. One of the prime ministers of India has launched the Make in India campaign. The whole purpose of
this
 campaign is to create awareness about using local products and to encourage them to start their own ventures. He succeeds too.
Thus
, a significant incline in the export of the goods has been observed in the
last
 few years and I am sure it will rise even more over the period of time.
On the contrary
, In a country, you will find
people
 from different belief systems and practising different religions.
Moreover
, You will
also
 come across migrants but in the name of patriotism social evils like racism, murder, and bullying have been born. Rather than treating all humans equally,
people
 are different from those who are not from the same group or community.
People
 tend to help or protect only those who are from the same groups or casts.
This
 is one of the reasons, In India, the tension between two specific communities has been always a matter of concern. To conclude, Patriotism has certainly numerous benefits
in contrast
 to demerits. One should always look for overall
development
 and growth.
Moreover
, humanity should be the top-most priority.
