This Independence Day...
Let us not make tryst with our destiny… not any more... Fifteenth August - The Independence Day of our country! The one day that we take, in an entire year, to remember our past! To remember our great freedom fighters… their struggles… to acknowledge them… and to acknowledge their efforts... Every Independence Day speech or program that we come across, is somehow about the past! Fancy dress competitions for kids about the past heroes… Speeches stating how India has been so great… All of them have references about the past! But, is Independence Day all about acknowledging the past? Is this the only motive that we should have to celebrate our Independence Day? Is this how we should celebrate our Independence?
