The 15th of August is a very important day in the history of our country India. It was on this day in 1947 that India became independent. We won freedom after a hard struggle. Independence is the freedom of the soul, a perception of the mind and a feeling understood by the heart. This freedom, perception and more importantly, this feeling is that of liberation, patriotism, self-dependence and other such things. When all such terms are put together and imposed upon the majority, it is a big responsibility on the youth of that nation and on those who create it. That nation is India. All the people irrespective of their caste, look and creed celebrate this day every year amidst great rejoicing. On this day we take a pledge to defend our freedom with all our might.
“Independence of India from a common man’s point of view is not only the sense of belonging, but a sense of contribution and existence in every step that our nation takes.” I believe , “We constitute our nation, it does not constitute us. Independence is not our right to express but our right to be heard. Independence is not only smart politics, but being a part of a smarter public. Independence of our nation is not what we feel, but what we make of it and most importantly, independence is not about rights, but our duties towards the nation.
“Independence is having the freedom of choice in whatever I may do, in whatever I may wish to do, and similarly, freedom with reference to our great heroes is the biggest gift that our forefathers could have ever given us.
This Day reminds us of those patriots who fought and suffered to win freedom for us. Today again we need leaders to drive corruption out of this beautiful country. Then we all will proudly say “Yes!! We are the citizens of an independent country which flies unbound in the sky of glory and success”. Let us vow to make our country a free bird again.
