See the Beauty at 60

Happy Birthday to India........Completing the 60 years of Independence

Here's wishing everybody a very happy Independence day.15th August,1947 was the day when India was liberated from the reign of British.It was a birth of a new nation and a new beginning.

"At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new…India discovers herself again."
- Jawaharlal Nehru
(on Indian Independence Day, 1947)

The 60 years of pace has been successfully transited by India..... has emerged as the fastest growing economies in the world.....an important factor in IT sector.....the Indian beauties..... the Indian riches.....in all, has developed an identity of its own. Moreover, the status of women has improved, the mentality and standards of an average Indian has improved.

But all this has happened only when India is free.Thus we should owe a debt of gratitude to all the freedom fighters who fought to see the all free India, faced the gun shots, went to jails still to remain in full high spirits.They left us with India that can be molded to reach the greatest heights and now blessing us from heaven.

My 80+ grandma-in-law tells me abt there life before independence, when they used to remain only at home out of the terror of british soldiers and other so many short stories, that made me to think that we, who are born in Free India, how much values freedom? ask those who has seen the
dependency, bondage, constraints.

Here I thanks and salute all the Indian freedom fighters, dead and alive.

Jai Hind

I agree. We do not value our freedom and take it as granted.. just like we take the most important people in our lives as granted...
