India is celebrating its 74th year of independence this time and we as Indians must be proud of our progress in all these years. A country that survived a tempestuous struggle for freedom that lasted for about 90 years from 1857 to 1947, has come a long way to an era where every spirit is free to be themselves. We must, today, unite and celebrate the day together to sound as one voice that is powerful and progressive, and must pledge to protect the integrity of our country.
On this special day, I love to read this poem" Where the mind is without fear" by Rabindra Nath Tagore, which holds the true meaning of freedom and carries the message to be truthful and focused on the our goal with our head high to achieve success.
Almost half a century before India attained Independence, Tagore here yearns for the “heaven of freedom.” The verse continues to exhort people—particularly in conflict zones across the world—to seek fearless truth, progressive thoughts and actions, and to stand up and see the world as one, undivided by borders or “narrow domestic walls.” Tagore stood for living life to the full and not for any renunciation of the world.
Freedom in mind, Faith in our heart, Memories in our souls. Let’s salute the Nation on Independence Day!
