First of all, I want to wish Happy Independence to you all my friends. On this fateful day, around 73 years back, we got freedom of our Motherland India from the clench of British rule. This freedom struggle of our country is similar to any other country’s. However, this freedom struggle has brought all Indian’s together. Before that Indians were having so many differences between them. They were divided in terms of region, religion, language, and many other aspects. Also, British rule was also successful due to these factors. Although the Indians were wealthier and strong before the encroachment of Britishers. However, they were not able to protect them and their motherland from the outsiders.
One of the major reasons of failure of early rebellion of Indians is the fact that many of them were so much entangled in their own rivalries that they were not able to distinguish between their own people and an outsider. They fell easy to the prey of Britishers, who were waiting like a vulture to attack at the loosened, disintegrated Indians.
The Fighters of India
This Independence as a gift has come to us by a lot of sacrifices and bloodshed of the great soldiers. The bloodshed and rebellion have started at Paika Rebellion and finished by Gandhiji’s freedom movement. In this long span of freedom struggle of around 130 years, Indians have come together and felt the need for independence. They understood that they have to rise much above their local feelings of the region, regionalism, etc. to a much broader feeling of being Indian.
In that era, all throughout the country, everybody has become a true Indian, and ready to give their blood to get freedom. In this freedom struggle nobody care for them or their families. Whether it is from Bakshi Jagabandhu from Paika rebellion or the stars of hot-faction like Chandrashekar Azad, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Sukhdev, Batukeshwar Dutt, Subash Chandra Bose and from soft-faction like Gandhiji everyone felt the sense of Indian and fought for the motherland. This Freedom is a result of many sacrifices, which we can’t even imagine it.
What is real meaning of Freedom
After having freedom, every one of us is enjoying living in a free India, which is no longer under British Rule. Even we have forgotten the freedom struggle.
However, whether really we have sensed the true meaning of freedom. First, we should know that as long as we are Indians, we are strong and we can fight and win. However, nowadays after the span of 73 years again we are now very far from being Indian.
Every day and night we are feeling proud of our region, religion, and many small and negligible factors. These are the factors that have kept us divided and resulted in our bondage under Britishers. The freedom struggle has given us many learnings. We have come a long way in becoming a developing country. We can see a very new India, which is having facilities on par with other advanced countries. But still, we are not able to become a true Indian, which knows no boundary of region or religion.
Still, we have so many differences between us. Although geographically India is a united country, still the mental boundaries between people have not united them. Somewhere we are in the same state what we were before the Encroachment of Britishers.
The real meaning of freedom of Indians means we have to work for India to make it a superpower. We have to make India a developed and great nation, where there will be no poverty, everybody gets a good education and healthcare. We should be able to feel the scent of our culture in India as well as abroad. We should be proud of the fact that after so many encroachments, still we are able to keep our culture.
This land has made so many great scientists who have made their great contributions in the technological field to keep India shining. Now, we are shining in the field of sports, education, and many other fields. But all these are possible due to the fact that we are free. We are free to think, we are free to do, we are free to express.
However, some times some incidents make us feel that really whether we have got freedom. Still, many rape incidents have shown the oppression of women by men. In many fields, we can still observe that women are not free. Freedom has become unequal for men and women. But whether that is correct. The contribution of women is equal to that of men, and also the freedom is for everybody not for a single-gender. The Queen of Jhansi, Rani Laxmibai fought for this motherland, and now there only the women are not feeling the freedom. It is a matter of shame for us.
If we talk about corruption, that has divided the society into very rich and powerful officials and poor oppressed weak people. Still the poor people are feeling as if they are still under someone bondage, they have not got freedom. Whether we want this freedom.
There are still many on the list which makes us to feel whether we are living in a free India. Whether we are again going to fall into the prey of any other power and again go into the bondage for years.
Oath of Freedom
By this blog, I don’t want to hurt anybody’s sentiments however i want to bring the reality what we are facing now. A country can not be free unless its people are not free of the selfish mentality of thinking of themselves only, and doing all type of activities to get it.
Today our great country is the biggest democracy in the world, where every person is able to express his feelings by choosing the government. In this democracy, we should make India to be united with Indians, with no distinction between people. It should be free of all regions, religions, and micro-level distinctions. I request you all to take oath on this 74th Independence day that
- We should free our self from Inferior and worst mentality of hurting and suppressing others
- We should free our self from all kind of narcotics which are destroying many families in a day what a natural calamity can’t do
- We should free our self from the bondage of Region, religion and castes, which is not allowing us to become an Indian
- We should get freedom from Corruption, which is again making a culture of slave and master, which is not the dream of a free India.
- We should get free of unemployement and everybody should be educated.
- We should live and let others live in a safe India
If we believe and do all these, one day we will become most prosperous and free India. Where everyone feel the sense of freedom and everyone will be same and equal Indian.
Again Happy Independence day to all.
