India: 61 years of independence!

Indian Flag

Indian Flag

Salute to a country which knows the value of freedom. Salute to a country which has its moral roots etched in non-violence and secularism. Salute to a country which has never resolved to violence in its entire history.

India got its freedom after a long strenous fight for independence that spanned over 90 years. As a colony, India suffered greatly at the tyrant rule; All to recover in such less time and emerge as a nation which is the fastest growing economy in the world.

Hats off to the country which has given birth to heroes in every field. I love my country and I will live and if needed, die for it!

Happy Independence Day to all! :) Celebrating freedom – the feeling that no one can take from you!

    Long live mother India! Countries and boundaries are only imaginary lines drawn on a map. Don’t let them become your life-lines. I have read this line somewhere. But not sure where. But I guess it gives the reason why wars are fought.

    @Suda:

    90 years from the official First War of Indian Independence. :) (1857 – The Sepoy Mutiny)

    Other than that, we’ll have tolerated the tyranny of a lot of invaders before as well. :(
