As per my knowledge this handful of clerics, say one verse of Vande Mataram meaning (s) my country is greater than my religion, my God.

India is like a plate of salad, which is constituted /made of different kinds of vegetables, that’s why India has been called a rainbow of diversity. Once I get mixed in the plate of salad, I lose (s) my identity as individual. But I still have my freedom to add my own taste to the flavor, which is given to me by the Constitution of India. My point is simple that country always comes before anything. | The underlined sentence sounds odd, since as a person you can not mix with vegetables. You can say: If as a constituent vegetable I get mixed in the salad |
