15th August 2016: Independence day celebration at our schools



While attending school function on this day, thought came into mind: does students understand  importance of Independence Day or meaning of freedom? But looking at their cheerful dance and smiling faces, felt they are anyway free souls, why they have to get into complex thought process of freedom.

But, I am not sure how many grown-ups have introspected sacrifice and struggle of freedom fighters, what was their dream for free India?

Freedom is great power, but like our spider-man once said: With great power comes great responsibilities. Looks like no one is bothered about second part. Looking at current affairs, feels like, our nation left at the mercy of corrupt wolves and ignorant pigs.  I am sure, our freedom fighters didn't give up their wealth, family and life to see this day.

Wish you Happy Independence Day!
