From being a country of 14 provinces in 1947 to a country of 29 States and 7 Union territories, mother India has come a long way.
But why has our patriotism invariably become seasonal is for everyone to wonder. Republic Day and Independence Day are when our patriotism strikes high. We can do something about it, to remember our soldiers who fight day in and day out, even die in the battle to protect our country and us. Let's just take a couple of minutes everyday to salute them, thank them just as most us do to their loved Gods, for these are men who are gods in disguise.
And it's time we all knew what our National flag symbolizes. The tri-color stands for courage and sacrifice, peace and truth, faith and chivalry which are apparent traits to be good men and women. Let's stick to it.
Independence is a state of being and for what may seem the right to it, can only be accomplished when there is no one who gets to sleep hungry and when the society turns corrupt free and when the country itself becomes a safer place for our women.
Indo-Pak, India-China and what not. There's no mean way to change neighbors, let's work towards peace, tolerance and love. Let's hope. Let humanity prevail!
In dependence with each other, let's sustain!
Happy Independence Day!!!
