Jus another Holiday - 15th Aug...

63 yrs of independence......but guess for most amongst us its one of d 3 holidays where all have n off day (other being 26th jan n 2nd oct) n this year wit it being a sunday ppl have a reason to feel dejected for missing out an holiday

hardly we give any importance to this day other than for d grand shopping deals tht r not marketed around 15th aug

we did study a bit of history....incidents like jalianwalla baug still send a chill down our spine....or d march to a salt factory where row after row of indians were hit by d police but none of those ppl hit back....jus kept facing d bows till police got tired

all tht was studied long back n no one remembers it in daily life...u only remember these moments whilst seeing patriotic movies like “Gandhi” on 15th aug / 26th jan....

think part of d reason is we were born in an independent india n do not understand...what really independence means...what all sacrifices have gone to get this independence...we dont have to worry abt our actions or worry abt any one stopping us from doin anything.....we dont know whats its like being slaves....or being asked to do things n hundred other things tht should not b done….

so whilst we all njoy independence...spare a moment for all those n number of ppl who lost their lives…who never got mention in any history book...

happy independence day….
