Vande Mataram.
It has been a good around 60 years since one of the oldest and richest nation of the world awoke in the light of democracy, able to resist imperialism which was borne to the name of this nation since time immortal. In ancient history there were the Aryans, who were followed by the Sultans of the Asia Minor and the Mughals, last to be followed on bt the British Empire under Union Jack!
15th August, 1947 A.D. "...at the stroke of midnight when the whole world sleeps, a new nation awakes in the light of Independence..." was sounded by the then emminent Congress leader Jawaharlal Nehru, who incidentally became the first Prime Minister of the devided India. The nation as itself became fully independent or operational constitution (possesing the largest constituition of the world, under emminent leadership of Dr. B.R. Ahmedkar) on 26th January 1950. This day since then is being celebrated as national holiday, the Republic Day.
Starting from the names of great warriors like the Rani Laxmi Bai to Mangal Pandey, to the great patriots like Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and Bhagat Singh, to greatest philosophers of all time like Binova Bhabhe, Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar and Swami Vivekananda and greatest non-tempered, non violent leader of all time Mahatma Gandhi, all played their part. This showed that the nation had had all types of hearts and mentalities within herself!
If a dateline can been sketched, the developments in the nation is taking place in the last three decades where by an open market economy has brought in foreign air within the reach of the common man. Previously relatives used to entrust a long list of foreign stuffs to be bought by the son or daughter of the family who ought to be visiting a foreign soil. Today we have the foreign at our footsteps!
The past of India was potent, today it is acting, tommorow will surely be bright! Because Yesterday-Today-Tommorow yeilds the crop of success.
Jai Hind.
