My India
"Not where the musk of happiness blows,
Not where darkness and fears never tread;
Not in the homes of perpetual smiles,
Nor in the heaven of a land of prosperity
Would I be born
If I must put on mortal garb once more…"
- by P.Yogananda Tagore
The Independence Day of India, which is celebrated religiously throughout the Country on the 15th
of August every year, holds tremendous ground in the list of national
days, since it reminds every Indian about the dawn of a new beginning,
the beginning of an era of deliverance from the clutches of British
colonialism of more than 200 years. It was on 15th August
1947 that India was declared independent from British colonialism, and
the reins of control were handed over to the leaders of the Country.
India's gaining of independence was a tryst with destiny, as the
struggle for freedom was a long and tiresome one, witnessing the
sacrifices of many freedom fighters, who laid down their lives on the
line.
