Independence Day in Mauritius
There is something I have noticed lately: most Mauritians do not care about the Champ de Mars independence day celebrations. This is in stark contrast with people from other nations such as France, the USA and India who put a lot of emphasis on properly celebrating their national day.
The only thing I can conclude is that Mauritius is not a nation yet despite our hymn (as one people, as one nation).
If you think about it, this is perfectly normal: a nation designates larger groups or collectives of people with common characteristics attributed to them.
Up to now, politicians have not managed to propose common characteristics that we could share and adhere to.
According to this definition, we are not a nation yet.
