National award-winning lyricist Prasoon Joshi, who penned the songs for the upcoming film 'Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi" says people should express their love for country openly and should not make patriotism their "convenience".

During the launch of the song 'Vijay Bhava' of the film 'Manikarnika' on Wednesday, Joshi asked people to express their love for the motherland quite loud and clear. While Kangana Ranaut, the leading actress and one of the directors of the film, said that words like "chest thumping", "nationalism", ‘jingoism' are used in a negative manner, and people should celebrate patriotism loud and open; the media asked question on how forced nationalism can be encouraged in a democratic country, since everyone has the right to express patriotism in their own way.
