Happy Independence day to all Indians. This is the day we should be proud of. The day India got freedom from 190 years of bondage of britishers. This day was a day of beginning of new era for this country. 63 years have passed. India has changed a lot.
The development is tremendous in all domains like trade, Education, Power etc. etc. So India is a fast developing country. She is increasing her approach in all directions.
But what is the significance of this day. We celebrate this day every year. Many of us attend flag hoisting ceremony very enthusiastically. Now I would like to talk about speeches given after flag hoisting ceremony.
In all this speeches we are listening same things for many years
- India is fastest growing economy
- India is 1st in something, 2nd largest in some other thing
- and many many statements which generally are same every year.
Then in the conclusion of speech they invite youth of India to safeguard and respect the independence we got by the efforts of some great men.
What does these speeches mean?
Is youth of India more oriented towards country ?
I saw the skit today morning in the ceremony. That lead me to a thought. Why there is so much difference in attitude of youth towards life if we compare youth during struggle of independence and youth of modern world ?
Then Director of our institute made it clear in his speech. In his opinion difference are in intentions. During Struggle of independence there was an intention in people’s mind that is to see India as a free country. Our rights, Our home etc etc.
And now there is no intention. The only intention now is to fulfill our needs. Very less percentage of population of India thinks welfare of India as there goal or Intention.
As today is independence day we should make a commitment of contribution towards India’s welfare. We should make welfare of country and its development as our prime intention. If citizens will be committed towards welfare then no one can stop India from becoming free from various shackles like corruption, communalism etc.
When India will be free from these shackles, that day will be marked as total independence to India.
In case of citizens, When there will be complete sense of security, dignity and patriotism in each and every Indian ( with sense of respect for each fellow Indian ), that day will be marked as complete Independence
Once again Happy Independence Day ..:)
