59th Republic Day.

Let Post # 237 be a justice to the 59th anniversary of India being a Republic. It was a day to reckon a truth that a nation was stitched into her existence, starting from the small princely states and the associated trouble created by once implemented Divide and Rule policy of the Britishers. The Indians got set up into various "distinct" communities, mainly Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs! The scratches of the 1947 is still breeding within the system. Today a movie in the local channel, regarding the contributions of Sardar Ballav Bhai Patel, The Ironman of India. It showed the contributions of the great minds and the great leaders of the time, who thought for the nation first. But, with full remorse, that sentiment is surely lacking.
Then, Sardar thought that about the consequences of a decision taken, of dividing the nation, but today? Well lets not comment on a belated republic day, of the nation. May be some mistakes, leads to events like Kashmir or the Mumbai, wounds of which are still fresh down in our hearts! But again, such mistakes were neccessary to save the nation from being dismantled into further smaller pieces. May be West Punjab or the East Bengal went outside the nation, but the rest 80% couldnt satisfy the lords of Evil to have their evil glance on the territory.

The following picture carries the faces of those responsible for the division, and nothing else.
